## Resource

Back in the early 2010s, few celebrity romances burned brighter (or faster) than Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom . She was the breakout star of reality TV’s royal family; he was the NBA hero. One month in, they were married. Soon after, their love life was a franchise. For a moment, it looked like reality TV had actually delivered a fairy tale but it was not meant to be. This week on The Way They Were , Kardashian super fan and brilliant stand-up Chelsea Birkby joins Gráinne and Chantal to relive the whirlwind: the TV spin-offs, the tabloid storms, the sex doll, the hookers, and so much more that even the Kardashians couldn't keep up with it.
