Khloé Kardashian is grateful for Lamar Odom ...
In the latest episode of the Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, the 'Keeping Up with the Kardashians' star revealed how the divorce from Lamar Odom helped her achieve a stepping stone to another traumatic event she had to go through with Tristan Thompson, while she was pregnant with his child.
'With me and my ex-husband, me going through such a public divorce and handling that, it was a great love that was now lost and that whole thing.
It was so public. So public that I've never dealt with something like that before, but I dealt with it, and I had my family support and all of that,' Kardashian said on the July 2 episode.
The 'Good American' co-founder got married to Odom in 2009 and filed for divorce after four years, which was finalised in 2016. When she was healing and looking forward to new experiences, she met the basketball player, Tristan Thompson.
In April 2018, a cheating scandal stunned the world, where clips of him being intimate with another woman surfaced on the internet right before she was about to give birth to their child.
Lamar Odom was a stepping stone for Tristan Thompson...
'It was a stepping stone, if you will, for the next big traumatic thing that happened to me [which] was when Tristan cheated on me right before I gave birth,' she continued, before adding, 'Obviously, no one can prepare you for something like that.

And it wasn't the cheating. That's like, 'Oh, people get cheated on.' It was more that I was nine months pregnant, I was having a baby two days later, and it was so public and it was everywhere.
'
Khloé further added that if it were not for Odom and the kind of experience she gained during the time, she would not have been able to handle Thompson's situation so effectively. She said that she is proud of how she handled the situation and the difficult times in her relationships.

Khloé Kardashian confessed her past dependence on Photoshop and filters, influenced by societal beauty standards and her surroundings. She acknowledged the pressure to enhance photos, leading to insecurities and a distorted self-image. Realizing the need to embrace her authentic self, Khloé now prefers video over still photos and actively works on self-acceptance, despite occasional temptations to use filters. Khloé Kardashian is no stranger to public scrutiny, especially when it comes to beauty standards and social media. In a refreshingly honest episode of her podcast Khloé in Wonder Land, the reality TV star opened up about her past struggles with Photoshop and filters, reflecting on how they once distorted her self-image. Influenced by the Times and Those Around Her Khloé acknowledged that there was a time when she heavily relied on editing tools, influenced both by the people around her and the era's beauty standards. She reflected on how widespread the use of Photoshop once was, noting that many, including herself, felt pressured to enhance their photos more back then than people generally do today. Still Navigating Insecurity She further admitted that while she no longer relies on filters the way she once did, she still has moments of insecurity. She acknowledged that the filter culture once became so consuming that it was hard to view oneself without digital enhancements. Though she occasionally feels tempted to use a filter when she's not feeling her best, she shared that she now prefers how she looks on video over still photos and continues to work on embracing her natural self. A Wake-Up Call Reflecting on her past, Kardashian admitted she wished she had been kinder to herself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Are The Most Beautiful Women In The World Undo She recalled how constant exposure to heavily edited images—even of herself—blurred her sense of reality. Surrounded by people who routinely altered photos before sharing them, she began to believe those versions were real. Comparing paparazzi shots to filtered ones only deepened her confusion. Eventually, she realised the need to 'reprogram' her thinking, step back from filters, and embrace her authentic self. She described that phase as a 'strange time' where the pressure to look a certain way became overwhelming. A Public Battle with Filter Culture Khloé has long had a complicated and highly public relationship with Photoshop. Over the years, several of her social media posts have faced backlash for overly edited or face-tuned images. One notable incident sparked major online debate when her grandmother, MJ, unknowingly shared an unedited photo of Khloé in a bikini. The candid image stood in stark contrast to the polished pictures Khloé typically posts, fueling discussions about unrealistic beauty standards and the ongoing grip of filter culture on the digital world.
