Khloe Kardashian Tells Ellen DeGeneres That Lamar Odom Split Helped Her Deal With His Injury

Khloe Kardashian is on a roll promoting her new book, Strong Looks Better Naked. Kardashian recently made an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to promote her book.  The New York Times bestselling author also revealed during the interview that she probably wouldn't have been able to deal with her estranged husband, Lamar Odom's, situation as well a few years ago before the split and that the split probably helped her deal with it now.

According to Entertainment Tonight, Kardashian revealed earlier this week during her interview with Ellen DeGeneres that she has become more tough when it comes to situations in her life. Kardashian claims that the death of her father, Robert Kardashian, in 2003 and her split from Odom in 2013 made her gain some tough skin. She admitted that if Odom's current condition would've happened a few years ago, she probably wouldn't be there as much as she is today.

"The crazy thing is as much as I went through, everything that was dramatic, and I feel like your scars make you better and tell a better story in life, but this book is very much what I'm living right now," Kardashian told DeGeneres. "If Lamar's hospitalization would have happened, I think, two years ago, I don't know if I would have been strong enough to even have the tools to deal with what I'm dealing with now or be able to balance everything, so it's just really ironic that I'm promoting this book, but I'm actually like living what I wrote about."

MStars News previously reported that the Keeping up with the Kardashian star also had a rough time getting use to her stepdad becoming Caitlyn Jenner. Kardashian revealed that she found out about Bruce Jenner's transition on camera.

"I had a hard time [with the transition] because I found out on camera, like, while we were filming, and I felt like we kept asking him what's going on," the 31-year-old said. "He kept telling us one thing, but really he knew he was transitioning and wouldn't be honest with us. So we felt like we were kind of the last to know, so that was hard for us. Especially me, I defended him for so long."
