Well now, the world will have an inside glimpse of Lamar’s struggle on the KUWTK and reports say he’s not interested in a cash for his story.

"It ain’t about the money. He’s not going to hound Khloe or her mother to pay him for making his near dear experience public," a source close to Lamar  told Hollywood Life.

"Lamar wants to share this. He could have yanked the cord months ago but he chose not to. He thinks he’s helping other people by sharing his story,” the source added.

"He also believes he’s showing Khloe that he’s a man who can face his demons head on. Part of all this is to impress Khloe and hopefully put their marriage back on solid foundation."
