Khloe Kardashian may want to stay with husband Lamar Odom and try to save their marriage despite his drug problems, but her mother Kris Jenner reportedly is pushing for a divorce.
The New York Daily News reported on Wednesday that Jenner has taken the step to meet with divorce attorney Laura Wasser, who handled Kim Kardashian’s split from Kris Humphries. Jenner not only met with Wasser to encourage Khloe to get a divorce, but also so that Odom and Kardashian could truthfully say they have not met with divorce attorneys should the subject come up.
According to the report, Khloe wants to try helping Odom and believes their marriage can be saved, but her family is encouraging her to make the split. Jenner wants Khloe to collect on their prenuptial agreement and cheating penalty and move on. The Kardashian family is also supposedly worried about Rob, who lives with Odom and Khloe and is tight with the basketball player.
The News also says exactly what we suspected — someone from the Kardashian side (likely Jenner) must have leaked the story to TMZ. In order to destroy someone’s name by dishing all their dirt on drug abuse, you have to have a rock-solid source, which would be someone from the family. We suspected the news came from Jenner because the report was so detailed, released on a Friday night, which is when publicists release bad news so it gets buried over the weekend, and because it painted Khloe in a positive light.
Khloe and Lamar married in Sept. 2009 after briefly dating. They began filming a reality TV show that Odom supposedly blamed for his basketball struggles. Odom was recently kicked out of the house by Khloe amid multiple reports about him cheating. It was later reported that Odom is a drug user hooked on crack.
