Khloe Kardashian dating Rick Fox as a way to get revenge on ex Lamar Odom?

That's just what the tabloid Life & Style magazine alleged in its new report where Khloe Kardashian was reportedly spotted on a date with Rick Fox, 45.

The date allegedly ended well but the "KUWTK" star reportedly had an "ulterior motive."

Dating Rick Fox apparently was a way for Khloe Kardashian to stick it to her ex, Lamar Odom.

"It's revenge for him not being the man he should be," the source claimed.

While both Rick Fox and Lamar Odom played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Khloe Kardashian's ex was traded to the purple and gold after Vanessa Williams' ex already retired.

"Despite everything, Khloé still has lingering feelings for Lamar, whom she split from two years ago," it said. "But for now, it appears she's trying her best to move on, first with rapper French Montana and now with Rick."

TMZ remains optimistic that he would get back together with his ex wife based on Lamar Odom's declaration about Khloe Kardashian during an ambush interview.

"There's more ... he goes on to say KK is 'still my girl,' and the audio is a little low, but we're pretty sure he added ... 'That's my wife,'" the report said.

Khloe Kardashian also admitted back in April that she's still not over the former Los Angeles Lakers player.

"I was so obsessed with him in a healthy way. He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that," she said.

"There's nothing I can do. Lamar has to do things in order to change in that aspect, but yeah, if I had my way I'd be married to Lamar in two seconds," she said.

The TMZ reported that a Los Angeles County Court judge has issued an ultimatum for both parties to submit the necessary documents or else their divorce filing will be thrown out the window.
