In the two days since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada, several details have emerged that help to shed light on exactly how the former NBA star wound up comatose in a Las Vegas hospital.
It seems that in addition to abusing an herbal “Viagra substitute” (which he bought on premises), Odom was using cocaine and opiates, and putting additional strain on his body by engaging in frequent drug-fuelled sex with multiple prostitutes.
According to TMZ, Odom spent over $ 75,000 at the brothel in just over three days.
Upon arriving, all the women employed by Love Ranch (prostitution is legal in Lyon County, NV, where the ranch is located) lined up, and Lamar selected two who would be at his beck and call for the entirety of his stay.
It’s not known if the women he chose were Madison Montag and Ryder Cherry, who later found him passed out in his room and attempted to revive him.
Sources say it appears that Lamar was a regular at Love Ranch, as workers picked him up at his home in Vegas home and chauffeured him to the brothel.
Love Ranch ownership and employees have mostly kept quiet about Odom’s stay, likely for fear of being legally implicated in his overdose.
Reload – the herbal erectile dysfunction capsule that Odom purchased from the brothel – was recently banned by the FDA.
