Khloé shared a cryptic quote to Twitter on May 31, 2016, writing, “It’s really not that deep.” The current Baltimore Ravens star tagged that the photos were “out of context” and later elaborated more fully in a July 2016 interview with GQ, where he revealed he first met the Good American founder in passing a few days prior to their party encounter at Las Vegas’ 1OAK nightclub.

“Whoever was there taking the pictures inside of a private party, inside of a private-er, private-er area of the house — we were in the kitchen of the house, where there was only like 15 people. It’s just kind of like…‘dating’? I just met this person. This is maybe the second conversation we’ve had,” he told the publication.

Odell revealed that the photos with Khloé and the subsequent dating rumors hurt things with a woman he was seeing at the time. “Things go like that … and then some other girl that I may have been talking to hears about it, and now it’s more drama, more commotion in my life.
