Lamar Odom was left red-faced the other night, when he was denied entry in a West Hollywood club and, to his shame, he had to walk back to his car while the paparazzi and one (strategically-placed, some might say) E! camera crew were focused on him.

Estranged wife Khloe Kardashian was partying inside with her new beau, rapper French Montana and, according to a new report, she was the one who masterminded the whole thing. She invited him to the club knowing he wouldn’t be let in, just so she could humiliate him publicly, insiders reveal for Us Weekly.

“It was actually Khloé who invited Lamar to the club because she knew the E! cameras were going to be there. She totally set him up and he is livid. She wanted it to look like he was stalking her on camera,” says one such spy.

Meanwhile, she and French partied the night away, in the company of her sister Kim Kardashian and close family friend Jonathan Cheban.

“[Lamar] knew French was going to be there, but Khloe asked him to come and he went. He feels like an idiot for trusting her. He had no idea the E! cameras were going to be there,” another source says for the same publication.

You can tell from the video below, shot by a paparazzo working for TMZ, that Lamar was displeased both with being turned away at the club and the fact that there were so many cameras around him and so many paparazzi witnessing his embarrassment and taunting him.

Hours after the incident, presumably after she got home, Khloe tweeted, “Always hurts… maybe it always will,” which some believe is in reference to the near-meeting with her soon-to-be ex-husband.

TMZ notes that reps for the club say that Odom wasn’t allowed inside because they feared a brawl between him and French would break out, over Khloe, of course. If that were really the case, it would infirm the above-mentioned rumor, that Khloe set him up by inviting him there on purpose, knowing he would be turned away at the door.

Khloe and Lamar’s marriage came to an official end before Christmas last year, when she filed for divorce after months of speculation on the state of their marriage. It is believed that drugs and infidelity, both on his part, played a role in the demise of their relationship.

They never really discussed publicly the reasons for divorce but, word has it, behind closed doors, it was not an amicable one.
