Khloe Kardashian’s recent interview with People is telling for a number of reasons, but perhaps none more so than when she discusses his background.
Specifically, his lack of support system outside of herself.
Khloe’s thoughts, prayers, time and effort have been dedicated to Lamar as he recovers from the serious health crisis brought on by an overdose.
It’s a good thing, too, because he has no one else in his life.
Sad, but true. For all the negative things said about the Jenners and Kardashians, there is strength in numbers, and they have each other’s backs.
This is not lost on Khloe, says says, or Lamar for that matter:
“He’s the first one to say that. He doesn’t have a support system.”
“He has no siblings and his mother passed away.”
“He has a different lifestyle. He doesn’t have a ton of friends because most of them have passed away. It’s just him. I want to be his support system.”
“I have basically 10 brothers and sisters and strong parents.”
A few obligatory haters online have had nasty, cynical things to say about Khloe exploiting Lamar or still dating James Harden during this ordeal.
The fact of the matter is, though, that the Kardashians have no need to exploit anything for more publicity, and Khloe tore up their divorce papers.
Repeat: The duo’s divorce was all but finalized, and has now been withdrawn. She could have easily paid Lamar’s bills and still divorced the guy.
Bottom line, she is not just responding to the tragic, near-death experience of a loved one but sticking by a man she believes in a real future with.
Whether you agree with them or not (and we will grant you that his dalliances with drugs and hookers give us plenty of pause), she’s in it for the right reasons.
As for his assessment of Odom’s tragic, lonely life (below), she’s right on the money there as well. Browse through the gallery below and see for yourself:
