Well, cross another milestone off the list. Newlyweds Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom had their first public argument at LA’s Phillippe Chow restaurant.
“Lamar caused a huge scene. He got jealous because Khloe was texting at the table and he yelled at her to quit it. She refused, so he stormed off and sat alone at the bar. Khloe just ignored him.
“He went and sat at the bar and watched TV by himself,” the source added. “Khloe was with her best friend [Malika Hagg] and the poor girl was totally stuck in the middle.
“She was running back and forth between the bar and the table trying to make peace but Lamar kept just saying ‘I’m not talking to her. Let her talk to her phone. She can be alone with her phone.’ It was bad.
“Finally he stomped back over to the table and grabbed the keys and left a couple of hundreds on the table. Khloe just turned her back to him so he walked out the front door.”
It sounds like Khloe decided she was not going to have a “knock-down-drag-out” screaming match at the restaurant, but she also wasn’t going to quit texting, so she just didn’t engage 
. How do you handle public arguments with your husband or boyfriend?
Given the things you can argue about, this isn’t so bad. (These pictures, btw, are of the couple during a happier time: having lunch at The Ivy.)

I feel sorry for the girl in the middle trying to keep the peace….she probably should have just left and refused to deal with their nonsense. Re: Khloe, I may have told this story before (I’m senile)..but I went to a going away party at a restaurant – there were about 12-15 of us seated. I looked around, because everyone was SO quiet…every single person, including a woman in her 50′s were sitting there staring at their phones texting people. I had to laugh but I also couldn’t believe it. What is the point in trying to socialize IN PERSON if people just love their phones? Anyway, Khloe strikes me as the kind of rude beast who would act this way.
If your cell phone is more important than being with your man then go out to eat by yourself. I think it’s rude and inconsiderate to ignore the person you are sitting with. They both acted immature. He shoud have asked her to stop texting and if she didn’t he should have left. Sounds like she’s to proud to realize that this is her fault for being rude. Grow up people. No wonder marriages don’t last these days. People need to admit when their wrong and move on. Have some respect for your new hubby K.
So rude. I have my cell with me all the time but use it only if I need to. Never during a meal. I don’t even answer the phone if we are eating.
People are obsessed with their phones, so I’m not surprised.
I only use mine when I’m bored but not if there are people talking to me or eating, that is rude and says that you are not interested in the people around you.
Something tells me this is just the first of many public arguements these two are going to have. After all who would know if they stayed in, behind closed doors if they were fighting.
omG !!!! who the heck cares if they fight …it happens ,even to happy couples . but this fight sounds childish
NOOOOOOO….This just shakes my faith in Marriage.
The Kardashians and all “reality” “Stars” need to be taken to the public square and shot in the back of the head!
i’m with lamar on this.
i am soooo tired of all the texters always going around trying to do 2 things at once. text and walk, text and work, text and drive. how about the amtrak train conductor who crashed the train while texting? the airline pilots who crashed the plane while texting? what in the hell next? it’s stupidity to have to be in perpetual communication with who?? someone so important that you can’t pay attention to what you’re doing and who you’re with?
lamar is someone who has really worked all his life to become the man he is today. let’s see if he can bring the grown woman out in this girl — who has been given a lot by virtue of her parents. one thing’s for sure. khloe seems to be very stubborn, and that will make it hard for them to stay together.
It’s is SO rude to be on your phone (texting or talking) while out with someone else. Why are you out spending time with someone if all you want to do is talk to someone else, text someone else, or check your facebook? It’s extremely inconsiderate and drives me nuts. I have gotten up from a table and gone home before after my friend texted for 20 minutes straight. She still doesn’t know what the big deal was. As much as I love technology, I think it definitely has it’s drawbacks. My general rule is cell phones have no place at the table during a meal.
I’m with you, I gave up texting and walking because I ran into tomany things.. Imagine if I would have been driving… yikes!
LOL!! it must have been hilarious to see
They sound like high schoolers.
We don’t have too many arguments period. If we do they are usually about the house and they happen in the house.
i dont like making scenes in public especially when friends are around. i sure wouldnt want to be the friend stuck in the middle of all of this.
Sounds like a bunch of 5 year olds bickering.
We don’t argue in public. We also turn off our cells when we are out. I am not that important or need to be readily available 24/7.
Personally, I find it rude when people that are physically with me find their texting and phone more enjoyable.
yeah i find it rude too. one….ok. but a whole conversation, not necessary.
I think that texting and talking on the phone at dinner is rude. She has no class.
sha should have stopped texting it’s rude when your with ppl.. and he should have asked nicer!.. buncha babies!!
My 12 and 13 year-old daughters know better than to text at the table. That’s rude. I would’ve left her, too.
Hmmmm…wonder what would have happened if he’s said, “Khloe, would you please not text at the table? I find it insulting.”
Yes she was rude, but yelling at a person half your size in order to obtain their compliance is bullying.
Good for her for ignoring him. Watch for bruises.
Wow from all that… “Look for bruises”… I guess he’s beating her now! Wow, ppl!
