The Lamar Odom soap opera took an unexpected turn on Wednesday when Khloe Kardashian called off the divorce with Lamar Odom.

Odom was found unconscious in a Las Vegas brothel last week, and has since been working his way gradually back to full health.

Khloe Kardashian made the decision to take Odom back because he swore to her that he would not do drugs again. According to TMZ, the athlete realised drugs took him to the edge and he nearly fell over; so has totally sworn it off.

That is what motivated Khloe’s decision…

TMZ reports…

Lamar Odom won Khloe Kardashian back by convincing her he would never do drugs again after hitting rock bottom.

Our sources tell us, Lamar told Khloe over the weekend he knew he cheated death, promising, “I am done with drugs.” He also thanked her profusely for coming to Vegas and supporting him. He repeatedly told her that he loved her, and that was enough.

We’re told Khloe made the decision right then to drop the divorce and nurse Lamar back to health.

TMZ broke the story … Khloe’s lawyer, Laura Wasser, went to court Wednesday and got the judge to dismiss the divorce case.

That all said, we’re told not everyone in the Kardashian family thinks Khloe’s decision is sound, because they’ve heard this from Lamar before.
