After socialite Khloe Kardashian filed for divorce from her husband-basketball player Lamar Odom, friends of the latter have said that even he wanted to end things with the former.

"I can't be f***in' with Khloe. She brings out the bad side of me," Odom told his friends, reports contactmusic.com.

The 34-year-old's friends have claimed that he now wants to focus on rejoining the NBA (National Basketball Association) following his wife filing for divorce.

Khloe filed legal documents Friday afternoon in L.A. Superior Court, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for divorce.

The couple, who got married in 2009, have been living separately over the last several months following revelations of Odom's drug use and cheating.
