On the Nov. 19 episode of theWe’re Out of Timepodcast, the former NBA player, 45, revealed that he purchased a custom sex doll that resembled his ex-wife, 40.
“When you’re really thinking about it, [it’s] like a doll,” he said, explaining how the purchase would be used as a mental wellness tool. “But then you think about like, mental health, and how important that is, not just in today’s time, but just from the beginning of time. A sex doll that looks like your wife is about mental health.”

“It’s sick, but I think we’re all a little off, a little weird,” the Los Angeles Lakers alum added. “They’re gonna make it to look like her. I need like, a harem.”
These days, Odom admits he and Kardashian don’t speak too much, but adds, “She still cares about me.”
“I don’t speak to her. I can text her and she’ll reply,” he said, noting that their distance was the result of “life.”
