The Celebrity Big Brother contestants Shanna Moakler and Lamar Odom both have long-established relationships with the Kardashians, and their wildly opposing opinions on the family may cause conflict for the pair in the BB house. Although Shanna and Lamar seem to be friendly so far, Shanna has frequently made offhand comments about the Kardashian sisters in the past. This means that it may only be a matter of time before she’s called out for her behavior. Lamar has been a fierce protector of his ex Khloe Kardashian in the years since their separation, and fans are wondering if he will risk peace with his housemates to defend his former family.
It was clear that Shanna was shocked to see Lamar enter the BB house, and he surely knew that their histories with the Kardashian family could lead to some friction between the two. Although Shanna has cautiously broached the subject of her past indiscretions on Big Brother, Lamar has yet to bring up the topic. With Kourtney Kardashian and Shanna’s ex Travis Barker getting married later this year, fans are waiting for Shanna and Lamar to confront one another about their differing views on the Kardashian clan.
Shanna’s contentious relationship with the Kardashians began more than a decade ago and continues its downward spiral thanks to frequent interactions between the mogul sisters and Shanna’s former husband, Travis Barker. Longtime Kardashian fans may recall that in 2009, Shanna called Khloe Kardashian a “donkey” on The Wendy Williams Show. Although she claims to feel remorse for making the comment now, fans have no doubt that her fiery animosity toward the family is still simmering.
Conversely, Lamar’s very public relationship with Khloe ended in 2016 after Lamar’s devastating overdose and subsequent health issues. Khloe actively oversaw his care and rehabilitation. Since then, Lamar has been devoted to the Kardashian family, albeit from afar. Since Khloe has been having problems with her former beau (and the father of her child) Tristan Thompson, fans think that Lamar may take this opportunity to shut Shanna down and get back in the Kardashians’ good graces.
While Shanna and Lamar seem to be getting along fine at the moment, the stress of close quarters and no distractions in the BB house may push the two to discuss their storied pasts with the Kardashian family. Shanna’s bad blood with the sisters has peaked in the last year, with the impending wedding of Kourtney and Travis. Knowing her stance on the family, some fans are wondering if Big Brother producers purposely cast Shanna and Lamar in order to spark drama in the house over the impending nuptials.
As cast members continue to dwindle on Celebrity Big Brother, Shanna and Lamar will have no choice but to interact with one another more frequently. Shanna and Lamar have been respectful of one another so far, and the dispute at hand may not even occur unless provoked by another housemate. However, viewers of the series are impatiently waiting for a confrontation or, at the least, a peaceful discussion.
