has disclosed eyebrow-raising new details about her ex-husband 's near-fatal overdose.
The TV star, 41, stood by the former Lakers star, 46, while he was recovering from his drug addiction and overdose back in 2015, despite originally filing for divorce after discovering his many infidelities.
Khloe and Lamar married in September 2009 after just 30 days of dating. She first filed to dissolve their marriage in December 2013 but proceedings stalled until the divorce was finalised in December 2016.
Speaking on 's Untold: The Death & Life Of Lamar Odom, Khloe opened up on the times she and her mother would discover Lamar on a 'drug bender' after searching for him in 'alleys or motels'.
Khloe said she felt a responsibility for many years to cover up her former husband's addiction in order to 'protect' his image and career.
'I was such an enabler without knowing I was an enabler', Khloe recalled. 'I just felt such a responsibility to cover this up, hold it together and protect him.
'There were many times Lamar would go for 12 hours or two days, escape rehab and go on a drug bender, whatever. I was either looking for him in alleys or looking for him in motels.
'He would have tinfoil cutouts or spoons and he was freebasing things and leaving things everywhere. I remember needing to go to hotel rooms to clean up after him.'
Khloe Kardashian has disclosed eyebrow-raising new details about her ex-husband Lamar Odom's near-fatal overdose
Khloe's feelings about Lamar's affairs were confirmed prior to his near-fatal overdose after she received a phone call from one of his mistresses who was in a motel room with him at the time.
Khloe said: 'Out of the blue, I get this call and she said, "Hi, I’ve been f***ing your husband.
'He is so f***ed up and he just keeps wanting money and drugs and I gotta get off this ride. So will you come and pick him up?"'
Lamar explained in his documentary: 'One night I [was] going to Big Bear, California, and I’m getting high out of my f***ing mind.
'The girl that I was with at the time, she must have been so blown back by it that she must have took my phone and contacted my wife.'
While discussing Lamar's substance abuse issues, Khloe recalled the moment she realised his problems with drugs worsened.
She said: 'When I really discovered that there was a problem, he was like, "You cannot tell anyone, I'll lose it all. And if I lose it, where are we going to live?"
'At the time, I was 24. I'm still trying to figure out my life. I had the show [Keeping Up With The Kardashians], but we weren't making money like that.
'I remember just keeping all these secrets and feeling horrible about myself. I think youth had a lot to play with it. My first real love and then you just feel for this person.
'You rationalise that this person died and his [Lamar's] dad is a heroin addict. Now let me try to fix you and show you. If I love you enough, I'm going to make you better. But I was fighting every single day either to protect him to not let him get caught, which sounds insane.
'I was trying to make sure his image, how he looked and how he presented himself to the outward world was still that Lamar Odom. I didn't sleep for years.'
After he was dropped from the Lakers, Khloe said Lamar began to spiral in his addiction.
One moment to describe his spiral was when she found him locked in a hotel bathroom for four days doing drugs.

'He had no concept of time, miserable, he was horrible because he was so f***** up', she explained.
'He spiraled again and did crazy drugs,' she added. 'He overdosed a few times. I had to pump his stomach - all privately. I got him help at home and detox centers. We did everything we could.'
Early in the documentary, Lamar and Khloe touched on the speed of their engagement after he proposed just 30 days after dating.
Lamar's family claim in the documentary that he married Khloe to catapult his career, in which the sportsman agreed.
'I think that [the wedding] was a power trip for me because you took the power that I had and then the Kardashian power - when you add them... but I wasn't really ready for all that power', he said.
after catching him doing drugs in the aftermath of his almost fatal overdose back in 2015.
She recalled how she found the ex-NBA star 'smoking crack' in a house that she had rented for him. She had also organised a personal chef and caretaker for Lamar.
The reality TV star explained: 'So at this point, Lamar can barely talk. He can speak a little bit but it's more like, "Mmhmm," and everything's delayed. He wasn't able to take a shower on his own.
'Once you know the smell of crack, it's the most identifiable, disgusting smell, and there's nothing that you can confuse it with. And I remember stopping by the house and I smelled crack.
'I remember slowly tiptoeing up the stairs, he was in his bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed, smoking crack, and I just punched him in his face.'
The Kardashians star claimed she told Lamar she had 'just put my life on hold to f***ing take care of you'. She also believed he didn't own a phone at the time but spotted one in his room.
'He was playing me so I could continue this lifestyle for him,' she said. 'I said, "By Monday you need to be out of this house, I'm done, I'm not paying for a thing and I never want to speak to you again".'
Lamar doesn't add much about that incident in the show, although does say it's 'f***ed up' someone gave him the drugs knowing he'd overdosed in the past.
