Khloe Kardashian took to Twitter on Wednesday to address backlash over a magazine interview about her estranged husband Lamar Odom.
People magazine published a cover story where she addressed her decision to call off her divorce from the former NBA star following his drug binge at a brothel in Nevada.
But on Wednesday, the 31-year-old revealed she was forced to speak to the publication because she was ‘contractually obligated’ to in order to promote her new book, Strong Looks Better Naked.
She explained that the photo shoot and most of the interview took place before Lamar’s collapse, but she was made to do a five minute ‘follow up’ call afterwards.
She wrote: ‘I want to make this VERY clear…. My people cover, I shot and interviewed for PRIOR to all the events that happened.
‘It was contracted press for my book that I wrote months and months ago. Timing is what it is.
She continued: ‘I had to do a follow up 5 minute phoner after the events only because I was contracted to. I cancelled my book tour to avoid this attention.’
Addressing the fan backlash, she wrote: ‘Shame on you all for thinking the worst of me. It’s been a tough few weeks. I don’t need your f**ked up energy! Know the facts before you throw stones.’
In the magazine, she confessed she is not back together with Lamar just yet, despite holding off on divorce proceedings.
She explained that she filed the paperwork in order to continue making medical decisions for him while in a life-threatening condition.
She told magazine: ‘I pulled back on the divorce because there is no rush for it. For medical decisions and a ton of other things, it’s just smarter that it’s put on hold.
‘But that does not mean I’m back with Lamar. It’s not even in our brains to think about us having a relationship. Only time will tell.’
Although she denied a reconciliation – a topic that has been heavily-contested over the past couple of weeks while she remains by his bedside – Khloe did confess to still having strong feelings for her ex.
‘I loved him always, and I will always love him. I don’t believe love is fickle. I believe when you love someone, you are allowed to love from afar. You don’t have to be with that person in order to love him.’
Khloe and Lamar, 35, tied the knot in 2009 after a whirlwind one-month romance, and their wedding was broadcast on the family’s reality TV show.
But their union fell apart and, in December 2013, Khloe filed for divorce.
She told People that after being branded ‘the fat, funny sister,’ one of the things she loved about Lamar was that he never cared about her weight. Daily Mail
