Lamar Odom has a home.
But does he also have a drug problem?
Over the past few days, a new round of rumors have circulated in regard to the former basketball player and estranged husband of Khloe Kardashian.
As previously reported, for example, a family member allegedly found a crack pipe inside the home Lamar was renting from Khloe.
In response to this disappointing discovery, Khloe gave Odom the boot.
Headlines across the Internet subsequent screamed yesterday that LAMAR ODOM IS HOMELESS AND OFF THE WAGON AND IN SERIOUS TROUBLE AGAIN.
But E! News says we should not believe everything we read online, which is a jarring claim to make.
“Lamar’s not homeless. He has a nice place in California,” an insider close to Odom tells the outlet. “It’s just a lie.”
A second source explains that Odom renting a home near Sherman Oaks, having moved out of the aforementioned Calabasas rental a few weeks ago.
“It was always a temporary agreement that he live there until he gets back on his feet,” this insider says.
What about the assertion that Odom is back on the crack train? That his addiction has once again taken over his life?
E! News goes on to write that Lamar is spending a great deal of time with his kids.
Moreover, he is taking part in an outpatient program that is comprised counseling and professional assistiance to help him remain on the right track.
He’s clean. He’s sober. And he’s focused on remaining that way.
“He is doing well,” E! reports.
“He is determined to stay on the straight and narrow and wants to be the best father he can possibly be and he is doing the work required to achieve that.
“It is not easy, but he is focused and determined.”
We very much hope that’s the case.
Last week, Odom responded to Kardashian’s divorce filing in which he cited “irreconcilable differences” as the basis behind the couple’s split.
They had been married for nearly four years when Lamar’s demons caught back up to him, forcing Khloe to separate from the love of her life due to his drug habit and admitted cheating back in 2014.
In his legal response a few days ago, Lamar also requested that the judge deny the court’s ability to award Khloe with spousal support.
E! concludes that Odom is no longer trying to win Khloe back.
Nor is he looking for a new girlfriend or anything like that.
Considering Lamar nearly died in October when he fell unconscious in Nevada after a drug overdose, there are only two issues on the star’s mind these days.
“His priorities are his children and his health,” the website’s source says.
