It’s been almost two weeks since Lamar Odom was found unconscious in his suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada.
In that time, the famous faces in Odom’s inner circle have all had their say about the sad situation.
Naturally, Khloe Kardashian gave a statement on Lamar’s health, and her family and friends offered words of support, but there’s one celeb who you might be surprised to learn has an insider’s perspective on Lamar’s near-fatal overdose.
Lance Bass is a long time Kardashian-Jenner family friend and he’s apparently been in regular contact with Khloe and company in the week’s since Lamar was first hospitalized.
“I was just over at Kris’s house the other day, and, I mean, they put their lives on hold. I give it up to those girls,” Bass told People magazine recently. “Love them or hate them, they really stepped up to the plate and saved his life.”
“Put their lives on hold” might be a bit of an overstatement, as the stream of half-naked selfies really only let up for a couple days, but we think we know what Lance is trying to say.
It’s true that Khloe appears to be doing everything in her power to nurse Lamar back to health, and she seems to have the full support of her family.
Bass says the situation has been particularly hard on Khloe’s mother, Kris Jenner.
“It’s devastating,” Bass said about Kris. “This is like her son and it’s really sad.”
On a happier note, Bass also stated that Lamar is “improving daily” and he has “high hopes” that Lamar will not only recover, but also devote his life to helping others avoid similar fates:
“If he makes it and he comes out of this, he’s going to change a lot of lives out there and save a lot of lives,” Bass said. “I have a feeling he’s going to really stay clean and really spread the message of living a sober life.”
