According to a recent report, Kris Jenner has fired Lamar Odom from Keeping Up with the Kardashians.
Sources claimed to Radar Online that Jenner, as producer, did not offer Odom a contract for next season due to his recent run of troubling behavior.
And this report could still be true.
It’s still conceivable that Odom’s days on the E! hit are over.
But that doesn’t mean Kris doesn’t want to see Lamar turn his life around, as she said Friday morning on Australian radio show Kylie and Jackie O.
Asked about Odom getting kicked off a flight a few days ago because he was drunk and throwing up, Kris said the following about her quasi family member:
“I don’t know what happened. It was a big surprise to me.
“All I can say is I just want the very best for him because he’s like my son. He’s a part of my family and I adore him. He’s the best.
“He’s the best! He’s the greatest guy in the world and anybody that knows him will tell you the same thing.”
That really is true.
For all of Lamar’s personal demons, which date way back to his days as a high school student, Odom has remained a very popular and beloved figure.
All of his ex-basketball teammates still love him.
And just look at Khloe, who was lied to and cheated on by Odom… and yet who still refers to Lamar as the love of her life.
Jenner went on to say she keeps in fairly close contact with Lamar, but that she hasn’t spoken to him during his recent string of poor decision-making.
This includes a strip club visit as soon as he sobered up and was able to actually fly across the country earlier this week.
“You just want the best for anyone that you love,” she said.
“I think that what I have learned through all of this is that anybody who’s struggled with addiction, it’s a disease and I’ve learned a lot…
“You can’t judge somebody else unless you’re really walking in their shoes and that’s what I’ve learned.”
That’s the most sense Kris Jenner has ever made.
In conclusion, the famous mother/manager was asked by the radio hosts about Rob Kardashian, who is engaged to Blac Chyna and expecting a baby and seemingly doing very well these days.
“I feel like he is [out of that slump] and I feel like it’s definitely a blessing that he’s back to the old Rob that we all know and love,” Kris said.
“I think that he’s in a very good place right now and he’s more comfortable in his own skin and he’s back to being the old Rob. The old Rob is so funny and so engaging and so charming and such a wonderful guy.
“And to see that disappear for a minute broke my heart. So to have him in this happy place, it means everything.”
