Khloe Kardashian is now in the process of divorcing Lamar Odom and, while the entire Kardashian family seems to have turned their back on him, there’s at least one person who hasn’t: Kris Jenner’s estranged husband Bruce, according to a new report.

Of course, Bruce isn’t really part of the family per se anymore, since he and Kris separated last year, but they’re still close enough to spend the holidays together.

During this time, though, Bruce still spared a thought and a kind word for Lamar, who is now living in fear that the upcoming season of the family reality show, the E!-produced Keeping Up With the Kardashians, will paint him as the bad guy and potentially ruin his career, such as it is.

Bruce’s advice was simple: just don’t watch the show. Even if Khloe decides to portray Lamar in a negative light (which she probably will), it will do him no good to focus on the past instead of on moving on from the failed marriage.

Considering that Bruce too is separated from Kris, perhaps he’s the last person you’d expect to be dishing out marital advice but, even so, what he says does make sense.

Bruce told Lamar to “hope for the best but expect the worst when it comes to that show and what they’re going to reveal because this is how they survive — by putting everything on the table,” a spy says for Hollywood Life.

“He told Lamar to forget about everything that happened in 2013 and not drag all the drama, defeats and embarrassments with him,” adds the insider.

“Bruce told him, ‘It will eat you alive and ruin any progress if you stay in the past.’ He also told Lamar to stay off the websites and turn the TV off and not listen to gossip about him. He basically gave Lamar a lot of advice and mental support,” the insider continues.

Season 9 of KUWTK premieres on January 19.
