Matt Brown: Forced Into Rehab After Family Intervention
As we reported last week, Alaskan Bush People star Matt Brown entered rehab.
While it was a brave choice to take that step to address his drinking, it was not necessarily his choice. Not his first one, anyway.
Apparently, Matt’s family confronted him with an intervention.
36-year-old Matt Brown has entered a 90-day inpatient stint at rehab.
RadarOnline reports that Matt Brown’s family staged an intervention in order to nudge him along.
“Matt’s decision to enter treatment came after a family intervention,” their inside source reveals.
Sometimes, it takes a little bit of difficult confrontation from loved ones to admit that you have a problem.
In Matt’s case, it reportedly also required an ultimatum.
Apparently, when the Browns spoke to Matt about his drinking, they presented him with a choice.
“Matt was told he could either go and get help,” the insider says.
“Or,” the source continues. “He could face losing his contract with the show.”
He would lose that paycheck, the insider explains, “as well as the support of his family.”
That might look like a choice on paper, but in real life, that’s no choice at all.
That intervention may have been something that Matt feared for a while.
According to the source, Matt “was desperately attempting to hide his drinking.”
That suggests that he knew that it was a problem, but did not want his loved ones to make a big deal about it or to worry.
They found out about it anyway, the insider says.
That is no real surprise. He was around family, and, well, people are seldom as good at hiding their drinking as people think.
Matt may be in rehab, but he isn’t cut off from the outside world.
“He has spoken to his brothers,” the insider reveals.
“And,” the source continues, Matt has “told them that he is doing okay.”
Just a few days into a rehab stint, okay is actually pretty good.
“He is very tired and worn down,” the insider shares. “But he will be alright.”
Struggles with drinking and addiction are often heartbreaking.
In many cases, they can be a form of self-medicating.
With Matt Brown, it is no exception.
This drinking was brought about by his mother’s health battle.
Ami Brown’s cancer battle took its toll on her, but also on her entire family.
Matt has been in rehab before, in 2016.
At the time, he and his family had become aware of a “downward spiral.”
Addiction — and the behaviors to which is leads — can be very complicated and difficult to defeat.
When your life receives a new stressor — such as Ami’s lung cancer and a move to another state — it can create a huge setback.
In Matt’s case, that meant a relapse.
Alaskan Bush People just had its Season 8 finale — so soon after its premiere.
Just before the finale episode, we saw Matt get injured in what Gabe called a worst-case scenario for their family.
That was … a little dramatic. We hope that Matt’s knee has recovered, though.
Right now, we hope that rehab proves effective.
Matt is not the only member of his family who struggles with mental health.

Ben Affleck: Drunk and Belligerent During Intervention
As you’ve likely heard by now, Ben Affleck checked into rehab today to receive treatment for ongoing substance abuse issues.
This is Affleck’s third time in rehab, but he’s checking in under circumstances that are markedly different from the previous occasions.
As far as we know, this is the first time that one of Ben’s loved ones felt the need to hold an intervention.
But interestingly, it wasn’t his friends, mother, brother, or even his most recent ex who implored the Oscar winner to seek treatment.
Instead, it was Ben’s estranged wife, Jennifer Garner, who showed up unannounced at his home and later drove him to the rehab facility.
We may never know exactly what Jen said to Ben in order to convince him he needed help, but we do know that it wasn’t an easy process.
In fact, at one point, Garner left Affleck’s home and returned with a bodyguard, presumably because she feared violent behavior from the actor.
One insider tells Radar Online that Affleck was severely intoxicated during the intervention, to the point that it was difficult to communicate with him.
“Ben was a mess,” says the source.
“He was talking, but you couldn’t tell what he was saying.”
The source adds that Garner and the sobriety coach who assisted her both became concerned, as Ben has a history of behaving violently while drunk.
“When Ben drinks, he gets nasty and it’s hard to be around him,” a source previously told Radar.
“He’s unmotivated and becomes very sloppy in his decision-making and his appearance.”
The insider also attributes Ben’s recent breakup with Lindsay Shookus to his rampant drinking.
“His behavior was a big turn off to Lindsay, who prides herself on her work and her motivation for life,” says the tipster.
Though the relationship is over, sources say Shookus remains deeply concerned for Affleck and wishes him all the best as he proceeds with treatment.
But it may be a while before she’s able to communicate any words of support:
“Ben won’t be allowed his phone, computer or visits from loved ones for the first few weeks of rehab,” the source claims.
The insider adds that Affleck plans to “channel his creative energy positively through painting.”
We wish him all the best in his battle with addiction.
Ben Affleck Sought Addiction Help Before Jennifer Garner"s Intervention
Ben Affleck wanted to get back on the sober train — badly — days before his estranged wife staged an intervention and drove him to a rehab facility … TMZ has learned. Turns out, Ben had been attending wellness classes at a Los Angeles…
Ben Affleck Intervention: Why Did Jennifer Garner Need a Bodyguard?
As you may have heard, Ben Affleck has checked into rehab to seek help for his ongoing issues with alcohol.
It’s the third time that the actor has sought treatment at an in-patient facility, and this time, he reportedly did so at the behest of his estranged wife, Jennifer Garner.
Insiders close to the situation say Garner was eventually able to usher Ben to the realization that he needs to get sober for the sake of his three children.
But apparently, it was not easy getting him to that point.
In the days leading up to Wednesday’s intervention, Affleck was spending time with Shauna Sexton, a Playboy model who has made no secret of her love of booze.
In interviews, Sexton has been effusive in her praise for whiskey, which would be perfectly fine — she’s young, and we have no reason to believe she has an issue with addiction — were it not for the fact that she’s dating an alcoholic.
Shortly after news of Affleck and Sexton’s relationship went public, Ben was spotted paying for a delivery from a liquor store near his home,
Sources close to the Oscar winner assured the press that the alcohol was for Shauna and friend, and Ben would not be partaking.
Still, the sight of a recovering drunk shouldering a box full of booze understandably raised some red flags for those who were already concerned for Ben.
The mother of Ben’s children was so upset by the reports of his relapse that she decided to stage an emergency intervention
“Garner was very emotional but decided to take the situation into her own hands,” an insider tells Entertainment Tonight.
The source adds that Garner “looked distraught” as she arrived at Ben’s home on Wednesday afternoon.
At one point, Garner left the residence and returned with a bodyguard, leading many to the conclusion that Ben became irate, possibly while intoxicated.
She later appeared frustrated and exhausted while making a stop at a nearby Jack In the Box drive-thru before driving Ben to the rehab facility.
“Jen is proud of the strides he’s made, but some of his friends were worried he might be taking some steps backward and could be on a slippery slope,” the source says.
“Ben wants nothing more than to get sober for his kids, for Jen and also for his career.”
For his part, Ben reportedly “realizes the dangers of what he could lose in life if he doesn’t stick to the program, and dedicate himself to these big changes.”
“Sadly, he also seemed to be putting himself in some unhealthy situations for someone who has plans to sustain a sober life,” the insider continues.
“Ben was back to staying out late and hanging with his old crowd.”
The tipster claims Jen had real reason to be concerned:
“Just the other night he was out late with a group of old friends and lots of women, all who were partying up a storm,” the source says.
“It’s truly worrisome for those who have seen him fall off the wagon in the past. The bottom line is he was going out again and hanging with drinkers, and it seems to have all happened too quickly.”
The insider says those closest to Ben became particularly concerned after his recent breakup with Lindsay Shookus, due to the fact that the SNL producer had been a stabilizing influence in his life.
“Lindsay was a huge support to Ben and he was doing really well. She truly helped him with his sobriety and Jen loved that he had a steady situation,” the source claims.
“Lindsay thought they had a future together, and she was a positive influence on him, but he felt tied down.”
Garner reportedly feels that this may be Ben’s last chance to kick his habit if he wants to continue to have a relationship with his children.
She’s reportedly held off on finalizing her divorce from Ben in hopes that he’ll get and stay sober so that an amicable custody deal can be arranged.
Another incentive may be the fact that Garner’s career is on the upswing, and she can no longer afford that negative press attention that her ex’s hard-partying lifestyle attracts.
We’ll have further updates on Ben’s latest struggle with sobriety as more information becomes available.

TMZ Live: Demi Lovato Rejected Intervention Before Overdose
ON TODAY’S SHOW Trump’s Star: The Shocking Pickax Video Stormy Daniels: Trump Connection In Arrest Conor McGregor Faces Judge In Bus Attack Omarosa’s ‘Jaw-Dropping’ Memoir
Demi Lovato Overdose Came Just Weeks After Intervention Attempt
Just two days ago, Demi Lovato was hospitalized after an overdose. This came only weeks after she revealed that she had suffered a relapse in her struggle with addiction.
The overdose after 12 hours of hard partying was a shock to many fans, but it wasn’t a surprise to those who have been close to Demi.
A new report sheds light on a recent attempt at an intervention. Unfortunately, it fell on deaf ears.
TMZ reports Demi Lovato was the target of an intervention that her team attempted to stage for her.
Unfortunately, the report says that she blew them off.
Weeks ago, her team apparently noticed that she was in a bad place. They confronted her about it and even offered to help her take whatever steps she needed to become sober again.
But addiction is a vicious illness that can make it difficult or even impossible for someone to seek help.
So Demi, despite having confessed to her relapse with her song, “Sober,” tried to make it appear that everything was fine.
And then she went right back to partying.
The attempt to urge her to enter a rehab program somewhere was not successful, and it was costly.
Demi Lovato fired her longtime manager, Phil McIntyre, who had been involved in the intervention.
It is not clear why she fired him, but given that TMZ confirms that he was part of the effort to restore her sobriety, many believe that she pushed him away.
More recently, Demi fired more staff and temporarily shuttered her website, which a lot of fans feared was linked to her relapse drama.
It’s hard to help someone who is struggling with addiction when they themselves are not ready to be helped.
To make matters worse, Demi was spotted hanging out with G-Eazy recently.
It’s one thing to alienate those who care about you.
It’s another thing altogether to then start hanging out with people with a reputation — and criminal history — for substances like cocaine.
Reports about the partying Demi was doing prior to her overdose say that the people with whom she was associating this summer were not her real friends.
They apparently did not have her best interests at heart.
It’s heartbreaking that the intervention didn’t work, but most of them don’t. Addiction can keep its victims from seeing people’s intentions for what they are.
However, there is good news — Demi Lovato is going to enter rehab.
Whichever facility she enters, it won’t be in L.A. … and it will also be a place where she does not expect to be the center of attention.
L.A. has too many triggers for her — which makes sobriety very, very difficult.
She needs to be able to experience rehab as a patient, not as a celebrity. That will be tricky.
It is important to remember that addiction is not a choice, and there are many factors — including genetics and environment — that determine who becomes addicted and who does not.
Demi has been open about her mental health struggles and also about her body image issues — both of which can and often do lead to self-medication with various substances.
This is why Demi’s struggle to remain sober — off and on — has been so challenging. She’s fighting an uphill battle.
It’s great to hear that she was surrounded by people who cared enough about her to risk (and, for some, lose) their jobs in order to encourage her to get help.
We hope that she surrounds her with similarly supportive people in the future.

Ben Affleck: Back to Rehab Following Family Intervention
Back in March, Ben Affleck checked himself into rehab to be treated for an alcohol addiction that had been plaguing him for several years.
Affleck first got sober in 2000 following his first stint in rehab, but sources say he fell off the wagon shortly before his initial separation from Jennifer Garner in 2014.
In a public statement from earlier this year, Affleck admitted to battling alcoholism and stated that he hoped his newfound sobriety would enable him to be a better father and form a closer relationship with his children.
Unfortunately, as anyone who’s been down that road can attest, even the best of intentions can prove insufficient to the task of defeating an addiction.
That’s a lesson Affleck reportedly learned the hard way over the summer when he decided to experiment with light social drinking just months after being discharged from rehab for the second time.
Affleck is dating Lindsay Shookus these days, and sources close to the couple say that their day trips and shopping sprees often concluded with wine-fueled dinners at upscale restaurants.
In September, Affleck and Shookus were spotted drinking together during a trip to her hometown outside of Buffalo, NY.
By this time, insiders say, Affleck was back to imbibing on an almost-daily basis, but remained in denial about his relapse.
Eventually, Affleck confronted his demons and quietly checked into rehab for a third time on September 25.
But according to a new report from Us Weekly, it took an intervention orchestrated by Garner and Ben’s brother, Casey Affleck, to get the Oscar winner to realize he was careening toward rock bottom.
Yes, it seems Garner still plays an active and beneficial role in Ben’s life, and she eagerly volunteered to help upon learning that the father of her children was once again spiraling out of control.
“After everything they’ve been through, she is going to continue to be there for him when he needs her,” a source tells the tabloid.
“No matter what the circumstances.”
A second insider adds:
“From the smoking to drinking and gambling, Jen has always been the person who can get through to him. She keeps Ben in line as much as she can.”
Apparently, it didn’t make much for Jen and Casey to convince Ben to seek further treatment:
“Ben reached a breaking point,” says one source. “He knew he was spiraling and was unhappy.”
That same insider says Affleck’s inner circle is more confident than ever that he’ll be able to maintain his sobriety this time, thanks to a radical change in the way the actor thinks about his addiction:
“[In rehab, Ben] got into a great headspace,” says the source.
“He has learned that dealing with his addiction is an ongoing battle. He understands he cannot just wake up one morning and say, ‘OK, we’re all done.’ Treatment is like a job.”
And once again, it seems Ben’s primary motivation for keeping clean is his love for his children:
“Ben will do whatever it takes to be a great parent,” says one insider.
We wish Ben all the best and hope that he continues to receive the support he needs.

Kris Jenner: Exploiting Scott Disick Breakdown with Ratings-Driven Intervention?!
Scott Disick‘s battle with addiction nearly resulted in the end of his life. Now Kris Jenner is reportedly doing what any parental figure would:
Exploit it and turn it into a dramatic reality TV storyline!
On August 18, Scott was placed on a 5150 psych hold after being rushed to the hospital, apparently having suffered a massive breakdown.
The 34-year-old dad of three has been spiraling out of control for years, especially since breaking up with Kourtney Kardashian in 2015.
Despite multiple trips to rehab, and a health incident that sounds as scary as it can get, Disick continues to party hard even as we speak.
That’s what has Kris Jenner scrambling to save his life.
With the cameras rolling of course, because come on.
Says an insider close to the famous Momager:
“Kris wants to stage an intervention for Scott, and wants to do it on-camera to be used in the upcoming season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”
Hey, if the guy needs an intervention anyway …
Lest you think that Jenner is interested in only ratings here, the insider says she is obviously interested in more than just ratings here.
“She is also trying everything she can to get him into rehab. She wants Scott to be there for her grandchildren,” says the source.
“Kris knows that if he keeps going, he will die.”
“His drinking has ruined his life, his relationship with Kourtney and his friendship with Khloe,” laments the insider. “It’s really sad.”
That much is obvious, as is the fact that the guy could use someone – something – to knock some sense into him, cameras or not.
Will this actually do the job, though?
This is not a man who has been open to change before, even as his health deteriorates and his dependence on alcohol persists.
“Scott started using drugs and alcohol as a way to escape from his problems,” an unidentified friend of Scott’s told Radar Online.
“However, the more he continued to drink, the worse his other problem became,” which is where this story gets even more dire.
People close to Scott say he poses a danger to himself, not because of erratic behavior, but because of life-saving medications.
Or, specifically, refusing to take them.
For months, we’ve heard whispers that Disick is suffering from liver disease attributed to years of heavy drinking, culminating this summer.
As such, the medication that Scott needs is necessary due to the self-destructive fashion in which he has chosen to go about his existence.
This, another friend says, was why he ended up involuntarily hospitalized a month ago, and why the worst may be yet to come, scarily.
“Kourtney [Kardashian] and Scott know that the incident was caused by him not taking medications that he is prescribed,” says one insider.
She and Kris Jenner reportedly called the police when they realized that Scott had gone off his medication while continuing to drink.
Knowing he was a danger to himself and others, authorities placed him under a 72-hour psychiatric hold, the longest allowable by law.
Disick reportedly resumed taking his meds after that, though he also kept drinking, leaving family and friends praying he comes to his senses.
Love & Hip Hop Hollywood Season 4 Episode 8 Recap: Intervention
Teairra Mari may have been on the outs with her friends, but they still showed up to help her when she needed them the most.
When Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood Season 4 Episode 8 got underway, Moniece Slaughter, Nikki Mudarris, and A.D. Diggs decided it was time for their friend to get some help.
She was not supposed to be drinking and was apparently slipping back into her old ways, and that was a big concern for those closest to her.
They worried about what would happen if she continued to spiral, and Teairra had some things to say about a 90-day residential program in San Francisco.
“I’m not going anywhere. What is this? I definitely don’t have ninety days to give to that,” she yelled as she tried to imply everything was good with her.
In the end, she agreed thirty days, while confirming that she knew there was something wrong with her.
“I have to look in the mirror and realize it’s an issue. I would like my mother [to fly with me],” she says, while breaking down in tears. ”I need to get my sh*t together. It’s a start. So many people are rooting for me.”
It was a long and winding road, but Teairra is finally getting help, and we could not be more happy for her. Recognizing there is an issue is the first step to recovery.
Meanwhile, Brooke Valentine met up with Bridget Kelly, and they spilled all the goodies to each other about their relationship woes.
“I did cheat on my boyfriend James once maybe twice, but that was a long time ago, and I’m ready to give James a real shot,” Bridget sensationally confirmed.
She wanted them to go on a date with Brooke and Marcus, but Brooke said, “Marcus is on probation.” She then opened up about trying to get back at him for breaking her heart.
“I’m out her purposely doing things to piss him off. I had a little outing, and I went there with Booby.”
Yes, everyone on this show lives for drama, and we love to keep up to speed with all of it. It’s so juicy.
We even got confirmation that Lyrica’s family was finally getting on with A1’s, so that was surprising.
“I am happy to say our mothers are getting along like girlfriends these days,” Lyrica claimed with a huge grin on her face.
Zell opened up about his mission to sabotage Misster Ray’s launch party for his PR company. Yes, he still wanted revenge, and he knew just how to get it.
Zell threw a party, and Lyrica took to the stage to cut some shapes and sing some songs. Things took a turn when Moniece and Misster Ray walked into the venue.
When Zell tried to throw shade at Ray, Ray threw a shoe at him. No, we’re not kidding. We’re a little mad we did not get to see a big fight, but we can thank the robust security for that one.
Brooke’s day went from bad to worse when A1 told Marcus that he saw her getting up close and personal with Booby at a recent event.
“He needs to know what’s up. His girl right now is making him look crazy in these streets, and I’m not having that with my friend,” A1 said in a confessional, before spilling the beans.
Marcus made his way to the studio and caught them in the act, but Brooke was not ready to roll over and admit defeat, so she said Marcus was “running around with that paranormal bimbo.”
The scene concluded with Booby saying how much he liked Brooke and they started making out again. Sigh.
The biggest moment of the episode was when Masika and Alex finally showed up to shoot the video.
“I already told you that I’m not shooting with this h*,” Masika yells, before Alexis fires back, “why can’t you be grown? We should talk.”
Yeah, these two will never be friends. It’s a lost cause.

Rob Kardashian Peaces Out of Family Intervention!
The dramatic saga of Robert Kardashian Jr. and Angela White, a.k.a. Blac Chyna, has subsided somewhat, but is far from over.
One new and troubling development:
Rob reportedly skipped a planned family intervention following his online meltdown, and his family is now even more concerned.
Things were looking up a week ago as Rob apologized to the Kardashians for his insane meltdown and cyberbullying of Blac Chyna.
That doesn’t mean all is well, though.
Apparently, his apology, while appreciated and overdue, did not quell the family’s fears that Rob had lost his mind with his recent antics.
Attacking the mother of his daughter like that, so brutally and borderline illegally with revenge porn, did not instill a lot of confidence.
So his mom(ager) and sisters reportedly decided to take action, hoping to sit him down and convince him to get the help he clearly needs.
This did not go over well, obviously.
When he learned Kris Jenner and his siblings were about to descend on him, he peaced out and gave them the silent treatment again.
Says a source close to Rob:
“He’s refusing rehab, he doesn’t want any fat farms, no more therapists, no more interventions, diets and meddling sisters.”
“He’s absolutely had it with all the games his family and his baby mama play … he’s sick of being played and bamboozled.”
“[He feels] used and tricked.”
Chyna went to war after the cyberbullying attack when she and her lawyer, Lisa Bloom, sought a restraining order against Rob in court.
Rob did not contest that.
His family hired famed attorney Robert Shapiro to defend him, but remain concerned that he is out of his mind and a danger to himself.
The source adds that Rob is just sick and tired of all the drama, and pushing him to get help is likely to make him even more reclusive.
“He’s in real bad shape right now,” the insider said, and we have no evidence to the contrary. We just hope this somehow improves.
While Rob dodged the intervention attempt, his family is still deeply concerned and mortified by the events of the past few weeks.
Suffice it to say, they are monitoring the situation very closely, because this goes well way beyond the usual concerns over their brand.
The brand can survive a lot. Rob might not survive if he keeps this up. Guy needs to get a whole team of therapists assemlbed.
Like immediately if not sooner.

Ryan Edwards: Pre-Wedding Intervention in the Works?
If you watch Teen Mom online, then you’re likely aware of the recent drama surrounding Ryan Edwards’ alleged substance abuse.
This week’s episode saw Maci Bookout breaking down in tears over what she feels is her ex’s potentially deadly downward spiral.
Bookout vented her frustrations over the lack of concern demonstrated by the other members of Edwards’ inner circle, including his parents, Jen and Larry, and his fiancee, Mackenzie Standifer.
Ryan and Mackenzie got engaged back in December of 2016, and they’re scheduled to tie the knot in November.
Initially, Mackenzie seemed to be in denial about Ryan’s drug use.
During this week’s episode she took to social media and slammed fans for their “ignorant” comments about Edwards.
She also fired off a tweet that seemed to be directed squarely at Maci:
“Here’s a thought … maybe instead of making assumptions and tearing people down, you could spend that time praying for us instead,” Standifer wrote.
Now, however, it seems Mackenzie may have done an about-face and finally come to recognize the severity of her fiance’s problem.
She has yet to speak openly about her change of heart, but according to members of her family, action is being taken to ensure that Ryan sobers up before he and Mackenzie exchange vows later this year.
“We’ll get together and talk about it,” Mackenzie’s father, Bob Standifer Jr., recently told Radar Online.
“Mackenzie and Ryan are adults. I won’t talk without them present. Anything that we talk about, we’re all going to sit down together.”
For her part, Mackenzie is reportedly taking part in the effort to convince Ryan to enter rehab, but she’s still not publicly acknowledging that her relationship is anything less than perfect.
“Come talk to me when you’ve walked one damn mile in my shoes. Then see where you’re at. Until then, hush,” she tweeted yesterday.
Hey, as long as she’s finally understanding that her soon-to-be-husband needs help, she can deny whatever she wants to fans.
Watch Teen Mom online to relive the many ups and downs of the life of Ryan Edwards.
Here’s hoping he’s able to find the help he needs.

Lamar Odom: Intervention Staged By Family! NBA Star Peaces Out in a Hurry!
Desperate to help any way that they can, Lamar Odom’s family staged an intervention in New York City Friday night, according to reports.
Suffice it to say, this did not go over well.
In response to the former NBA star’s recent troubling behavior, his family decided to step in and try to get him the help he badly needs.
A source quoted by Us Weekly confirms that the mediation took place on Friday night with several of Odom’s close family members.
Lamar’s longtime partner Liza Morales, the two children she has with Lamar, his aunt JaNean Mercer, and several cousins were involved.
Good for them for stepping up, but … it didn’t take.
“Lamar was doing really bad and his family was going to stage an intervention on Friday,” the insider tells the celebrity news magazine.
According to a separate report from Extra, the retired L.A. Lakers baller “was extremely surprised” by this and quickly “left the location.”
Sad, because an intervention is clearly needed.
Last fall, Odom overdosed and almost died in a Nevada brothel. He was in such rough shape that had to re-learn how to walk and speak (above).
You’d think that would straighten him out. No.
A drunk Odom was kicked off a flight from LAX to NYC earlier this month after he reportedly got so hammered that he vomited on the plane.
Witnesses say the 36-year-old stopped at a bar in Santa Monica prior to heading to LAX, where he “got really angry and started getting drunk.”
“It’s really sad,” the insider said, watching Odom spiral out of control and further into the abyss. “He was doing so well in his [rehab] programs.”
He was?
This incident came on the heels of rumors that Lamar is back on crack – his drug of choice the first time he and Khloe Kardashian split.
Khloe recently filed to divorce Lamar a second time. Shortly after the plane incident, her mom Kris Jenner said she was surprised by the news.
“I don’t know what happened. It was a big surprise to me,” Jenner said. “All I can say is I want the very best for him. He’s like my son.”
“He’s a part of my family and I adore him. He’s the greatest guy in the world and anybody that knows him will tell you the same thing.”
Odom has recently been spotted at numerous NYC strip clubs, having been kicked out of Khloe’s rental house, allegedly for drug use.
What more is there to say at this point? Unless someone can get through to him, it feels inevitable that the same, sad pattern will continue.
This is not going to end well.
