Lamar Odom Worries About His Portrayal On The Upcoming Season Of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians'

Lamar Odom won't be appearing on the upcoming ninth season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, but according to the previews for the series, he will be a topic of discussion, and that has him worried.

"The last thing Lamar needs in his life is to be portrayed as a schmuck. Khloe has assured him that it won't be bad, but how can it not be? The end of the marriage is going to be Khloe's main storyline next season and Lamar is afraid that his drug use and cheating will be addressed on the show," a source explained to Radar Online. "At the same time, he is trying to make a career comeback and he thinks this is going to hinder and hurt those efforts. He feels he's going to be used to get ratings for the Kardashians."

One thing that is particularly worrisome to Lamar is Kris Jenner's role on the show. With her behind the scenes, working closely with producers in regard to what is shown and what is not, who knows what could be in store? Sure, Kris recently said that she "still loves" Lamar, but he doesn't appear convinced.

"Kris pulls all the strings in the family and she is privately disgusted by Lamar's behavior," the Lamar source claims. "He knows Kris is a person to hold grudge and will make him pay for his past transgressions. At the same time, he is glad that he will no longer have to live his life with cameras around."

Earlier this week, it was reported that despite their impending divorce, Khloe and Lamar have remained in touch and speak daily. However, that doesn't mean a reconciliation is in the works.

"She is making sure he is taking care of responsibilities with his DUI and meeting with his trainer," an insider revealed. "It's definitely a mother-son type of relationship. There will always be a lot of love there between the two, but Khloe has definitely moved on. There are zero plans for the former couple to reconcile and both are very amicable right now, which is a good sign for the divorce. It should be quick, with no drama."

Keeping Up With The Kardashians debuts on E! on Jan 9.
