Khloe Kardashian has cut ties with her ex-husband, Lamar Odom, after taking issue with remarks he made about their marriage and her support during his medical crisis.

During the November 12 episode of The Kardashians, the 42-year-old reality star said Odom, 47, was “dead” to her after hearing comments in the documentary Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom that she considered “really distasteful.”

The Netflix documentary chronicles Odom’s battle with drug and alcohol addiction, as well as his near-fatal medical emergency in 2015, when he suffered multiple heart attacks, strokes and kidney failure.

Reflecting on her appearance in the documentary, Kardashian said: “I’m not too thrilled about it because I’m watching the documentary, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favor for you. I’m not being paid. I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.’”

Kardashian was especially upset by Odom’s explanation of what drew him to her and her family.

“I’m already Lamar Odom, and I’m just watching how she lives and [her family’s] lifestyle. I’m like, ‘I know this is where I wanna be. This is how I wanna live,’” he said in the documentary.

Khloe Kardashian, 42, said during the November 12 episode of The Kardashians that her ex-husband Lamar Odom, 47, was dead to her after he appeared to minimize her support during his 2015 near-death experience and suggested he married her because of her fame (Source: Khloe Kardashian’s Instagram)

Reacting to Odom’s comments in Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, Kardashian said: “I’m not too thrilled about it because I’m watching the documentary, and I’m like, ‘Wait, I took time out of my life to sit here and do a favor for you. I’m not being paid. I’m doing this because I’m trying to be nice.’” (Above, in 2012 in NYC

Kardashian said she was hurt by the implication that Odom’s feelings for her were not rooted in love.

“You’re saying that you weren’t really in love with me. You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture,” she said. “All these things, which is so weird.”

“Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?” Kardashian added.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star was also disappointed by what she described as Odom’s “really, really lame” comments about the extent of her help during his 2015 health crisis.

In April, Jenna Bush Hager asked Odom on The Today Show whether he believed his former wife had saved his life.

“In some ways,” the former NBA player replied, before crediting God with saving him. “God saved my life. The Lord saved my life, honestly,” he said. Odom acknowledged that Kardashian “took care” of him, but added that “God took care of me the most. What I came back from is like a medical miracle.”

Responding to those remarks, Kardashian said: “I don’t need [him] to thank me. Just don’t talk about me. Don’t discredit me.”

“The bridge is burned and there’s no more rope left to throw over,” she continued. “So he is dead to me.”

“You’re saying that you weren’t really in love with me. You married me just so you could be more popular in pop culture,” Kardashian said. “All these things, which is so weird. Even if that is your truth, why don’t you say it without me being on the other side of these interviews?” (Above, in 2012 in Orange, California)

Kardashian was also upset after Odom appeared to minimize claims that she had “saved” his life (Above, in 2010 in Universal City, California)

Kardashian said her ex-husband’s dismissive comments “just solidify what liars, con artists, cheats, thieves and trolls that men are.”

“I just don’t want to be involved,” she continued. “Play with yourself, don’t play with me.”

Kardashian and Odom married in 2009, just one month after meeting at a party for Odom’s then-Los Angeles Lakers teammate, Metta World Peace.

The social media personality, who took the name Khloe Kardashian Odom, appeared with her new husband on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. In 2011, the couple launched the spinoff series Khloe & Lamar, which ran for two seasons.

Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013.

During their marriage, Odom’s drug and alcohol use worsened significantly. In October 2015, he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel in Las Vegas after using cocaine in the preceding days.

The professional athlete subsequently suffered multiple heart attacks and strokes, along with kidney failure, before falling into a coma that lasted three days.

The medical emergency came three months after Kardashian and Odom had signed their divorce papers. Because a judge had not yet approved the divorce, Kardashian withdrew her filing later that October so she could help make medical decisions during Odom’s recovery.

After Odom’s condition improved considerably, Kardashian filed for divorce again in May 2016. The divorce was finalized by December of that year.

In Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom, Kardashian also recalled how Odom’s drug use became increasingly severe during their marriage.

“The drug buildup was getting worse and worse. There were many times Lamar would go for 12 hours or two days and escape rehab. He would go on a drug bender, and no one could find him,” she said, via Us Weekly.

“I was either looking for him in alleys or looking for him in motels. He would have tinfoil cutouts or spoons, and he was freebasing things and leaving things everywhere. I remember needing to go to hotel rooms to clean up after him.”

Kardashian acknowledged that she had unknowingly enabled Odom’s behavior. “I was such an enabler without knowing I was an enabler,” she said. “But I just felt such a responsibility to cover this up, hold it together and protect it.”

Nvidia founder Jensen Huang has stepped down after an investigation examined alleged affairs involving a suspected Chinese intelligence operative and a senior employee at the chipmaker.

The 63-year-old American-Taiwanese businessman, who had served as Nvidia’s president, chief executive and board member since founding the company three decades ago, resigned after acknowledging that he had been unfaithful to his wife.

“Jensen’s contributions to Nvidia are profound,” the company said in a statement announcing his departure.

“Nvidia is one of the most consequential technology companies in the world. The Board and the company thank Jensen for his immeasurable contributions to the company and the industry.”

The $3.87 trillion company is a dominant force in the market for advanced chips used in everything from gaming computers and data centers to AI chatbots and video-streaming services.

Chief Financial Officer Colette Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013, will serve as interim chief executive while the board searches for a permanent successor.

The announcement followed a New York Times investigation into Huang, who has two children with his wife, Lori Huang, 64, and was reportedly the focus of an alleged espionage operation.

Huang acknowledged having a relationship with Alice Huang, a Chinese executive at a Singapore-based company who was allegedly recruited by the Chinese government. The two are not related.

Nvidia healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell has also been accused of having an affair with Huang. Both were married at the time of the alleged relationship

Several former Nvidia employees have since alleged that Huang had another extramarital relationship, this time with Kimberly Powell, 48, the company’s vice president of healthcare.

If confirmed, the relationship could have breached Nvidia’s code of conduct, which instructs employees to avoid situations in which their actions conflict with the company’s interests, including through personal relationships.

The report triggered an immediate reaction across financial markets.

Nvidia shares dropped almost 10 percent in pre-market trading in New York on Thursday, erasing roughly $420 billion from the company’s market value. The decline brought the week’s losses to about $730 billion, or 16 percent.

Since reaching its peak on October 6, Nvidia has lost approximately $2 trillion in market value.

Chris Weston, head of research at brokerage Pepperstone, called Huang’s reported departure a “bombshell.”

“It appears the board has heard enough to make what can only be described as a groundbreaking decision, one with potentially profound implications for Nvidia and the broader AI ecosystem,” he said.

Nvidia remains the world’s leading producer of artificial-intelligence chips, accounting for an estimated 85 to 90 percent of the global data-center GPU market, according to Bloomberg.

A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is a specialized electronic circuit designed to process images, three-dimensional graphics and video at high speed.

The leadership crisis comes after weeks of pressure on AI-related stocks, as investors questioned whether the sector’s enormous spending on data centers and other infrastructure would produce sufficient returns.

Democratic victories in last week’s midterm elections added to those concerns, with investors worried that new political pressure could restrict data-center development and slow the expansion of artificial intelligence.

It is not known when Huang began his relationship with Alice Huang. However, reports say she openly discussed her close connection to him as early as June 2024.

At a computer-industry trade show in Taipei that month, sources told the Wall Street Journal that Alice Huang highlighted her access to the Nvidia chief by asking him to join executives at a bar where they were drinking.

She reportedly told those present, “Jensen’s a great friend of mine,” before he arrived only minutes after she sent him a message inviting him to join the group.

Huang arrived wearing his trademark leather jacket and spent time speaking with the executives. A photograph taken at the venue showed him sitting close to Alice Huang, according to reports.

During another visit to Taipei in May 2025, the pair were reportedly seen together at dinner. The Wall Street Journal said they kissed each other on the cheek and touched one another’s arms.

Other images that emerged after the allegations became public appear to show Huang and Alice Huang toasting with wine and posing together at different points during their reported relationship.

US authorities began investigating Alice Huang after her company, Megaspeed, was accused of illegally diverting Nvidia AI chips to China in violation of export restrictions.

Authorities in Taiwan and Singapore have also examined her alleged connections to Chinese intelligence services.

Details of the alleged relationship between Huang and Kimberly Powell emerged this week after five former Nvidia employees shared information with the New York Times.

Two of the sources said the pair had been recorded behaving affectionately at a hotel in San Jose, California, during an Nvidia conference in March.

Huang and Powell both attended Nvidia’s GTC conference in Berlin in late October. Around the same time, Powell was reportedly seen wearing an engagement ring.

Colette Kress, who joined Nvidia in 2013, has been named interim chief executive

Kress has served as Nvidia’s executive vice president and chief financial officer since joining the company in September 2013.

“Nvidia’s strength has always come from its people, and together with our leadership team, I am committed to building on the extraordinary foundation Jensen created over the last 33 years,” Kress said in the statement announcing her temporary appointment.

“We will continue advancing the work that has made NVIDIA a leader in accelerated computing and AI, and execute on the opportunities ahead.

“Our focus remains on serving our customers, partners, developers and shareholders.”

A vast £7.5million country mansion once linked to Johnny Depp and John Terry has become the centre of a heated planning dispute over proposals to replace it with 57 new homes.

Golden Hill mansion, in Belbins, Hampshire, was previously considered as a potential rural retreat by the Hollywood actor and the former Premier League footballer.

Built in 2004, the extraordinary property includes a nuclear bunker, a concealed escape tunnel and an underground garage for 10 cars. But the mansion was never completed and has since deteriorated.

The derelict 22,000-square-foot house is now at the heart of a contentious planning battle after developers put forward plans to demolish it.

A&B Homes wants to build 57 properties across the 11-acre site, a proposal that has drawn strong opposition from local councillors.

Romsey Town councillor Russell Theron said he was “really disappointed” by the plans and warned they could place further strain on the area’s “already overcrowded local infrastructure”.

He said: “Not only would demolishing a property that has never even been occupied create unnecessary carbon emissions, but the scale of the development would also damage the habitat of local wildlife.”

The 12-bedroom, 17-bathroom mansion was listed for £7.5million in 2009, attracting the attention of former England and Chelsea captain John Terry. However, he reportedly rejected the property because it was too far from his club’s training ground.

Depp was also rumoured to have expressed an interest in the estate, which includes a two-bedroom staff house, an underground aquarium and an artificial lake.

After no buyer was found, A&B Homes secured permission to convert the mansion into 10 luxury flats. The developer later replaced those plans with a proposal for 57 new homes across the site.

Mr Theron said the latest application was another example of developers seeking to “gain full advantage of Test Valley’s shortfall” in housing land supply.

Although he said he supported bringing the neglected site back into use, he added: “Fifty-seven properties in its place are definitely not welcome and are not the solution.”

Test Valley Borough councillor Rohit Kohli also raised concerns, saying the area was already facing significant development pressure.

“It is another development application at the top of Romsey, where there have already been applications in the past,” he said.

“It is already overdeveloped as it is. I’m not happy with it. It is another one of those speculative applications, as we don’t have a neighbourhood plan in place.”

Mr Kohli said changes to planning rules introduced by the Labour Government had left local authorities “at a real disadvantage when challenging developers”.

The sprawling property includes a nuclear bunker, a secret escape tunnel and an underground garage with space for 10 cars

He added: “I am absolutely not against development, but some of these applications are speculative.”

In its application, A&B Homes said the 57-home scheme would “maximise” the site’s development potential and make “effective” use of the land.

The developer said: “The existing dwelling is now more than 20 years old, is showing signs of degradation and has been subject to vandalism in recent years.

“For these reasons, the previous conversion scheme is no longer being pursued. The earlier permission nevertheless confirms that redeveloping the existing building into 10 new units was acceptable in principle, albeit using only the floorspace of the existing building.”

The site lies outside Romsey’s settlement boundary, but the developer argues that the proposal would help address Test Valley’s housing requirements.

Test Valley Borough Council is currently considering the application, with a decision deadline set for January 22, 2027.

Welcome to The Group Chat with Lucy Manly, where one of Australia’s most trusted society insiders delivers the gossip before it reaches the headlines

Fennell fronts court

Tom Fennell, dubbed the ‘Hugh Hefner of the east’, will contest allegations that he assaulted his socialite former girlfriend and damaged her property.

The 53-year-old private equity powerbroker appeared at Waverley Local Court on Thursday and formally pleaded not guilty to several domestic violence-related charges, including four counts of assault.

The alleged victim is 21-year-old Mackenzie Bridgewood, who was involved in a whirlwind relationship with Fennell that included first-class trips to Paris and Switzerland. The pair separated in June.

Court documents allege the incidents took place in Bellevue Hill between November 16 last year and October 30 this year.

Fennell is accused of causing Ms Bridgewood actual bodily harm on two occasions. A further charge alleges he intentionally or recklessly damaged property belonging to her.

Ms Bridgewood reported the allegations to Maroubra Police Station last month.

On November 1, Fennell was granted bail and allowed to remain at his multimillion-dollar Bellevue Hill mansion, despite opposition from prosecutors.

During the bail hearing, the court was told Ms Bridgewood was pregnant with her second child, although the baby’s paternity had not been established.

The Group Chat understands Fennell, who has children with his former wife Vanessa Jacobs Fennell, denies being the baby’s biological father. 

Fennell has engaged prominent criminal barrister Paul McGirr to defend him against the serious allegations.

Mr McGirr told the court on Thursday that he expected a future hearing to last one day, with June 29 next year set aside for the matter.

The case will return to court for a readiness mention on May 20. Fennell has been excused from attending that hearing.

Fennell has previously made headlines for his lavish lifestyle, including a reported ‘Playboy Mansion’ themed 50th birthday party in 2023.

‘He’s always in trouble’ 

Fredrik ‘Freddie’ Blencke, the private wealth adviser whose personal life has often been turbulent, appeared at the Downing Centre this week. This time, however, he was not the person facing an accusation.

The Swedish-born founder of Cape Horn Capital returned to court on Wednesday for the outcome of an AVO application taken out to protect him. His former barrister, John Korn, had famously conceded before Magistrate Jacqueline Milledge in 2022 that Blencke’s ‘out-of-control behaviour is something that needs to be addressed’.

The application, filed by Constable Lachlan Bullen on Freddie’s behalf against Nazanin Sabzouri, was withdrawn and dismissed before Judge Susan Horan.

Nazanin, a Sydney property agent whose surname has also appeared as ‘Sabzpouri’ and ‘Sabzpoori’, did not attend court.

The court confirmed that three domestic violence charges had been associated with the AVO proceedings: stalking or intimidation, common assault, and destroying or damaging property valued at less than $2,000.

Those charges were withdrawn and dismissed on August 6 before then-Magistrate Milledge, now a judge.

Nazanin declined to comment by phone on Thursday morning about the withdrawn charges and AVO application, but confirmed that her relationship with Freddie had ended

Freddie and Nazanin were previously a couple. In 2022, The Telegraph reported that the society banker was ‘in a good place’ with the ‘down to earth’ mother of two.

That domestic calm did not last.

Contacted by phone on Thursday morning, Nazanin declined to discuss the withdrawn charges or the withdrawn AVO application.

She did, however, confirm that the relationship was over. 

‘Not with him… I have nothing to do with him,’ she said. ‘He’s in trouble all the time.’

Freddie was approached for comment through his solicitor. 

Before his relationship with Nazanin, Freddie was married to socialite Annabelle Price. They separated in 2020 after a turbulent marriage that became the subject of court proceedings.

He was cleared in 2022 of assault allegations and of breaching an AVO, having consistently maintained his innocence.

Freddie and Annabelle were once prominent figures in Sydney’s high society, marrying in a lavish 2018 ceremony at Maison des Polytechniciens in Paris.

Following their split, Annabelle began dating investment banker Tom Fennell — the same man mentioned earlier.

She died by suicide at her Maroubra apartment in March this year.

All for a second-row seat 

New-money socialite Laura Hazzouri has reportedly ruffled feathers again, this time with her ‘carry-on’ at last week’s Chanel cruise show in Sydney.

Several guests at the supposedly exclusive fashion event were unimpressed by the mother of three, who is from Dubbo and married property developer and AFR Rich Lister Charbel Hazzouri. One guest criticised what they described as her ‘ridiculous’ behaviour in pursuit of a second-row seat.

‘She had a string of personal photographers capturing her every move, all for a seat in the second row,’ the guest said.

Apparently, one photographer was not enough. Laura is said to have brought along a small glam team, including a videographer, make-up artist and hairdresser. She also reportedly booked a hotel room, despite living only 15 minutes from the venue.

One photographer even boasted that he shot and edited her content within an hour, allowing her to publish it during peak viewing time. The aim, it seems, was to ensure Instagram engagement did not fade before her Chanel look appeared online.

‘There were people in the front row who quietly sat there, admired the fashion and supported the brand, without the theatrics that seemed to accompany this overhyped fashion event,’ the guest said.

Nicole Kidman, Margot Robbie and DJ Dom Dolla led the A-list arrivals, while a number of well-known Australian fashion and society figures also attended.

But Laura’s apparent determination to record every moment became the main topic of conversation, with another guest questioning the extent of her social media updates.

‘I’m confused. Margot and Nicole didn’t feel compelled to give us an insight into what colour briefs they were wearing, so why does Laura from Dubbo feel the need to? Or think anyone cares to know?’

Others seen among the guests included Sarah Lucas, wife of Melbourne restaurateur Chris Lucas and one of Chanel’s biggest Australian spenders; the so-called ‘Queen of the Birdcage’, Jaimee Belle Kennedy; Paddington interior designer Tamsin Johnson; and socialites Stephanie May and Kate Champion.

Baby mamas at peace

Birthday celebrations are plentiful within hospitality heavyweight Justin Hemmes‘ complicated family circle.

Only a fortnight after the Merivale billionaire hosted a lavish 30th birthday celebration for his second baby mama, Madeleine Holtznagel, at his expansive Narooma ranch, his first baby mama, Kate Fowler, was celebrating her partner’s milestone.

The Kiwi beauty and mother of two recently hosted an elegant 40th birthday party for her partner, David Oettlé, surrounded by their close circle of friends.

The couple are famously private and have been together since around 2020, keeping their relationship largely away from public attention.

Kate, the older sister of model Georgia Fowler, ended her three-year relationship with the billionaire pub baron in 2018. They share daughters Alexa and Saachi.

It is not known whether Kate attended Maddie’s country-themed birthday celebration, or whether Madeleine was invited to David’s party. However, I’m told the two couples remain on friendly terms.

The blended family has even holidayed together, suggesting their private relationships are considerably more amicable than the usual baby-mama drama might suggest.

Artificial, unintelligent

Some days, this column barely needs to write itself, particularly when Sydney’s social set continues to produce this kind of bizarre behaviour.

Today’s example is a very public Kashaya Williams AI controversy.

The disgraced florist posted a series of heavily altered selfies on social media. Judging by the reaction, a little less artificial intelligence and a little more reality may have been welcome.

‘She has completely AI’d herself – does she think her followers don’t have eyes? She does not look like that and never has,’ an eastern suburbs socialite told me.

‘The first image was supposedly taken while she was holidaying up north on Hamilton Island. How she can afford that, I have absolutely no idea.’

Perhaps she has been relying on the hospitality of her new-money millennial friends. Kashaya is reportedly often seen third-wheeling influencer Elle Salagaras and her investment banker husband, Lucas.

‘She has completely AI’d herself – does she think her followers don’t have eyes? She does not look like that and never has,’ an eastern suburbs socialite said. (Left, Kashaya as she appears on Instagram; right, Kashaya when I photographed her in real life)

It is an eye-catching social circle, given Kashaya’s well-documented legal history.

She was pushed to the margins of Sydney society after the NSW Supreme Court found in 2020 that she had used a forged letter to secure ownership of her late grandfather’s home during a bitter inheritance dispute.

The former wedding planner later filed for bankruptcy, was involved in a traffic incident and was rumoured to have been evicted from her Double Bay home over alleged unpaid rent.

None of that, however, appears to have diminished Kashaya’s appetite for luxury — or her apparent willingness to embrace a Claude-assisted makeover.
