Khloe Kardashian And Lamar Odom Separated Amidst Drug/Infidelity Problems

It has been revealed that Khloe Kardashian kept Lamar Odom's crack addiction secret from her entire family for most of her marriage, because she did not want to burden her family and jeopardize the Kardashian machine by telling the brood about her husband's drug issues. And Kourtney and Kim Kardashian only learned of Lamar's addiction "very recently."

Although Kris Jenner has known about it for a longer period of time,she was also kept in the dark for many months.

The most shocking part of the story is that Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom are separated, but neither has taken any step toward divorce.

See how TMZ reported it:

Multiple sources familiar with the situation tell us Khloe "effectively" declared separation when she threw Lamar out of the house Wednesday, after he refused her attempt at an intervention. TMZ broke the story ... Lamar has had a crack addiction problem for at least 2 years, and Khloe simply couldn't take it anymore.

We're told Khloe made it clear if Lamar did not get help -- the point of the intervention -- she wanted nothing to do with him anymore.

But we are also told neither Khloe nor Lamar has consulted a divorce lawyer ... at least not yet.

If and when they do file for divorce -- which we're told is likely -- there won't be much to fight over. Sources connected with the Kardashians tell us the couple signed a hard-fought prenup before they married. 

We're told Kris Jenner was right in the middle of the prenup battle because she wanted to protect her daughter -- who tied the knot after a 4-week courtship.
