Lamar Odom has revealed the 'sick' reason he ordered a customized sex doll with a face modeled on that of his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian.
The 45-year-old former NBA star was married to Khloe from 2009 to 2016, in a relationship that was rocked by his infidelities and his substance abuse.
Earlier this month, it emerged that he had commissioned a bespoke life-size sex doll with a curvy figure and Khloe's features.
His manager Gina Rodriguez said Lamar was pleased about the fact that he can do anything he likes sexually to the simulacrum of his ex-wife, via TMZ.
Social media users reacted with disgust on X, formerly Twitter, where one aghast observer wrote: 'This is beyond weird and creepy.'
Now, Lamar has broken his silence on the controversial purchase, insisting that he procured the doll for his 'mental health,' on the podcast We're Out Of Time.

'When you're really thinking about it, like: "A doll?"' Lamar allowed. 'But then you think about mental health, and how important that is, not just in today's time, cara bermain di sensa138 but just, you know, from the beginning of time.'
'A sex doll that looks like your wife, is that mental health?' asked podcast host Richard Taite, whose show is focused on sobriety.
'For me it would be,' replied the former basketball star. 'Yeah, I mean, it's sick but I think we're all a little off or a little weird, a little bit.'
He confirmed that his doll will be constructed to look like Khloe, joking that 'I need like a harem' and 'I gotta sell these things!'
DailyMail.com reached out to a representative for Khloe for comment when it first emerged that Lamar had ordered the item.
Lamar bought the toy from RealDoll, which typically retails its products for between $8,000 and $20,000, though he is said to have gotten a discount.
He learned about the company from a news story a month prior and then toured its Las Vegas factory while visiting Sin City for his birthday.
The former Los Angeles Laker has already ordered and paid for the Khloe sex doll, which is still being built but will apparently be delivered in time for the holidays.

In a video taken of his tour, Lamar can be seen playfully handling one of the dildos, which is apparently referred to as a 'squirt machine.'
He also wandered around a display of several sex dolls, which were suspended from above by hooks and put up in various states of undress.
Lamar was shown the doll that he was told had the 'biggest t**s' and the 'biggest a**' in the factory, and he took his time marveling at the creation.
He squeezed the breasts and touched one of the feet, remarking that the figure was so realistic 'it look like she got blood running through her veins right here.'
When news of his purchase circulated online, X users quickly shared their revulsion, such as one who wrote: 'eww this is so creepy.. like why would u even want that.'
Some remarked on how 'weird' and 'creepy' they felt Lamar was being, while others joked that he had relapsed into his past drug problem.
'I long for the old days where if you reverted to having sex with a doll ,out of sheer embarrassment, you keep that to yourself...,' sighed another X user.
However Lamar was not without his defenders, such as one who pointed out that acquiring a sex doll was 'Cheaper in the long run compared to hookers.'

Lamar's turbulent love life has been the subject of blistering scrutiny over the years, particularly his infamous failed marriage to Khloe.
The onetime couple, who released a joint perfume called Unbreakable Bond, were buffeted by his infidelities and drug use until she filed for divorce in 2013.
Two years later Lamar was found unconscious at a Las Vegas brothel and slipped into a coma, but survived despite multiple heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.
Khloe and Lamar were in the process of getting divorced when the overdose occurred but she still rushed to his bedside amid his health crisis.
She withdrew her divorce petition at that time, but only so that she would be legally authorized to make decisions for him while he was incapacitated.
They eventually did finalize their marital split in 2016, ending a process that had begun when she separated from him three years earlier.
