Childhood pal Anthony "Pumpkin" Booker, a guest at the couple's televised 2009 wedding, revealed Odom told him "the moves that he's doing, he was doing it to try to better his future" since the family "know people" and "have mad connections."

Odom, 46, even admitted: "I'm watching how she lives and their lifestyle. I'm like, 'This is how I want to live.'"

His daughter Destiny Odom, 28, whose mom was childhood sweetheart Liza Morales, insisted: "He did love Khloe ... but he had wanted to be on reality TV." But she also noted he was a cheater who married "this woman on TV and [had] affairs?"

Kardasian remembered getting a call from a gal who said, "I've been f--king your husband," but said she was "freaked out" because he was so "f--ked up" on drugs and asked, "Can you pick him up?"

Kardasian admitted she was an "enabler" by covering up his drugging, saying: "I was looking for him in alleys, looking for him in motels ... go to hotel rooms to clean up after him" so workers couldn't "sell a story" about his drug binges.

As RadarOnline.com reported, Lamar nearly died of an overdose at a Nevada brothel, where he partied with booze, cocaine, marijuana and hookers in 2015. After days in a coma, he came to with Kardasian at his hospital bedside.

Destiny Odom said her dad, Lamar, loved Kardashian but wanted reality TV fame during their marriage.

Kardasian said she tried to help him beat his habit, but when she caught him "smoking crack" she said: "I'm done, I'm not paying for a thing and I never want to speak to you again."

Lamar later sought rehab treatment, but in March was busted for DUI and traffic violations, has pleaded not guilty, and is set for trial July 7.
