Chris Pizzello/APLamar Odom's ex and high school sweetheart Liza Morales says she's writing a roman à clef. agents about repping a roman à clef she's written that depicts what it's really like to be in a relationship with a star athlete.
"It shows the lifestyle from the inside," says Morales, who turns 32 Monday. "Since our society is obsessed with celebrity, the book gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the real reality."
We wonder if she's referring to her ex's E! show, "Khloé & Lamar"?
Morales is keeping the book's title under wraps, but she says the athlete in her novel is a professional football player, not an NBA star.
That said, a friend who read the manuscript tells us insiders will recognize Odom in the character.
"You'll see a lot of tidbits that make you go, 'Hmm,'"says the source. But Morales says she wrote the book with a higher purpose in mind than payback. "My intent is not to bash my ex or any pro athlete,"she says. "I want to show women that you can rise up from a certain situation."
Morales began dating Odom in 1996, when both attended Christ the King High School in Queens. They became engaged in 2000 but never married. After they officially broke in 2008, Odom married Kardashian in 2009, barely a month after meeting her.
Morales says she "stayed too long" with Odom because she came from a "broken home" and wanted to "break the cycle" for her kids. The death of their 7-month-old son Jayden from sudden infant death syndrome in 2006 was "a real wake-up call," she adds, because Odom essentially left her alone to deal with her grief and their surviving children, Destiny, 12, and Lamar Jr., 9.
