Lamar Odom to Khloe Kardashian: Let"s Get Back Together!
Prior to hooking up with Khloe Kardashian and then cheating on Khloe Kardashian, Tristan Thompson was known for being one of the NBA’s best rebounders.
Which is ironic.
Because a new report states plainly that Khloe’s ex-husband would love to be Kardashian’s romantic rebound.
Indeed, Lamar Odom reads the same websites as you do and is well aware of what’s going on.
Of what has apparently been going on for months.
On Wednesday, the Internet nearly exploded over various reports that Thompson has stepped out on his pregnant girlfriend on at least two occasions:
1. There’s surveillance footage of him kissing one woman and being groped by another in Washington D.C. last October.
2. There’s also surveillance footage of him entering a New York City hotel with a woman (allegedly named Lani Brown) who he had been making out with earlier in the night.
The latter incident took place just two weeks ago.
With Khloe actually living in Tristan’s Cleveland home and awaiting the birth of their first child, Us Weekly alleges that Odom has a message for her:
TAKE ME BACK!!!!!!
“Lamar would absolutely get back together with Khloe, and realizes he wasn’t the best person he could be while they were together,” this tabloid insider says.
Odom, who also played professional basketball for a living, has admitted himself to cheating on Khloe during their marriage.
He has also admitted to battling a substance abuse problem throughout their romance, one that nearly took his life a couple years ago after he overdosed at a brothel in Las Vegas.
Khloe remained by her former husband’s side while he recovered from this experience, and the two have always been very public about their love for each other.
“Lamar feels terrible for Khloe. He wasn’t sure if he should reach out and see how she’s doing. He feels for her,” People Magazine also says of Odom.
So… is there a chance the ex-spouses could actually reconcile?
Sure. There’s always a chance.
But Khloe is due to welcome a daughter any day now.
The daughter belongs to Thompson, of course, making everything rather complicated.
Thankfully, Odom is reportedly woke enough to realize that asking to reunite with a woman about to give birth to another man’s child is a little… weird.
“It’s incredibly upsetting for Lamar, and he wants to call her but doesn’t have a phone number for Khloe,” the Us Weekly source alleges, adding:
“He could call Kris, but doesn’t want to intrude because she is about to give birth.”
Good non-call there, Lamar.
You’ve gotta give Khloe some time here.
Like, months and months of time, if not years and years of time.
Her heart is broken over Thompson’s actions and her vagina will soon be in a lot of pain due to the whole birthing process.
We somehow doubt she’ll be anxious to jump back into bed with anyone any time soon.
Kardashian and Odom got married on September 27, 2009, just one month to the day after they met (and nine days after getting engaged).
However, the marriage fell apart after the former Los Angeles Lakers player’s cheating scandal and drug relapse, which led Kardashian to file for divorce in 2013.
“Love is blind … Lamar was so great at making me feel like I was the only one and I’m this princess. I never speculated cheating,” Khloe told Howard Stern in 2016 of Odom’s infidelity.
She added at the time:
“It is humiliating on any level, but I found out he was cheating on me the majority of our marriage, I just didn’t know.”
Seriously, poor Khloe Kardashian, right?
Let’s hope she dumps Tristan the zero and eventually finds her way to a hero, someone who will treat her the way she deserves to be treated – and/or at the very least, does not have sex with any other woman.
Is that asking too much, fellas?
Just keep it in your pants.

Lamar Odom Chatted Up Khloe"s Sisters, Kendall, Kylie and Kourtney at Dinner
Lamar Odom didn’t bolt in the other direction when he ended up face-to-face with Khloe Kardashian’s sisters — he actually went out of his way to have a convo with them … TMZ has learned. We broke the story … Kourtney Kardashian, Kendall…

Lamar Odom: Headed for Another Health Crisis?
Oh dear. Lamar Odom is reportedly back at it again, making the rounds and indulging himself in Las Vegas.
What happens in Vegas does not, in fact, stay there, and multiple witnesses are describing exactly what they saw go down.
Is he spiraling out of control again?
The world remembers how, just a few years ago, Lamar Odom suffered a horrifying medical crisis that many feared would claim his life.
He was rushed from the Vegas brothel to the hospital. By mistake, Khloe was initially told that he had died.
The situation was so dire that Khloe asked a judge to bring their divorce to a grinding halt so that she could make any medical decisions necessary.
And so that she could supervise his recovery — which she eventually did, practically nursing him back to health.
Between that and major health scares like Lamar’s collapse at a night club late last year, you’d think that he’d be being careful.
Unfortunately, it sounds like he’s putting himself at risk again.
RadarOnline reports that, per multiple eyewitnesses who spilled everything to them, Lamar Odom is back in Vegas.
And it doesn’t sound like a social visit.
They report that Lamar returned to Vegas for gambling last week, and that his indulgence lasted multiple days and spanned two different casinos.
One was the Wynn Hotel and the other was SLS.
And they describe the reports of eyewitnesses.
The first, who saw him on March 4th, describes spotting him nearby.
“He was right at the table next to me gambling.”
They went on, saying how casually they were able to engage with him.
“He was very easy to approach.”
Another who saw him on March 5th
“I was kind of surprised to see him in Vegas after the events of his last foray out there that nearly cost him his life.”
This isn’t the first time that Khloe’s ex has been spotted tempting fate.
Reportedly, Lamar was drinking on New Year’s. Drinking alcohol can be fun, but surely it’s not worth risking your life.
But it is his life to throw away.
Recently, he appeared to throw shade at Khloe over her pregnancy.
That did not go over well, and prompted Kim Kardashian to slam Lamar by reminding him of his brush with death in Vegas.
One might wonder if Lamar is in Vegas purely to defy the Kardashians.
But it’s important to note that Lamar was, per the reports, just gambling.
The former NBA player wasn’t accused of drinking or anything else here. And while Lamar did have a health crisis in Vegas, it was not because he was gambling.
It’s possible that some fans are overreacting because they worry about his health.
But … someone has to worry about his health, right?
And since Khloe Kardashian is happily with Tristan Thompson and eagerly expecting the birth of their daughter and being a happy family together, we’d say that she has her hands a little too full.
She can’t babysit Lamar anymore. He needs to look after himself.

Lamar Odom: Khloe Kardashian Will Be a Great Mom! I"m Not Bitter!
It"s just a couple more months now until the latest Kardashian spawn is born … can you even stand it?!
Khloe Kardashian is all set to give birth in April to what will surely be a super, super adorable baby, and we could not possibly be more excited about it.
You know who probably could be a little more excited though?
Lamar Odom.
Like, it makes sense that he"s not jumping for joy for his ex-wife and her pregnancy, obviously, and we wouldn"t expect him to be, but still, if he"s going to be weird about it, he doesn"t have to talk about it.
And yet …
Lamar did an interview with Access, and the full thing will air on Monday, but in the meantime, we have this little sneak peek of the part where he talked about Khloe.
When asked about the pregnancy, he said "To tell the truth it couldn"t happen to a better person. I was really happy for her."
"I know if she could take care of a grown man for four years the way she took care of me," he added, "I know she could take care of a baby."
One of the interviewers said that she thought Khloe was going to be a great mother, and Lamar was quick to agree, repeating that Khloe took care of him for years, so he"d know.
He also said "That"s going to be one spoiled ass baby."
Next he was asked about his happiest memories with Khloe, and he revealed that getting married was one of his best memories — that, and "us just trying to make a baby."
Aww, Lamar.
Naturally that led to a segment of Keeping Up with the Kardashians that aired last year, the one where Khloe said that she "fake tried" to get pregnant with Lamar because she knew it would be a bad idea to bring a baby into that situation.
"That was hurtful," he said, "but I mean I was going through some things at the time so I didn"t really take it too personal."
It"s not that he says anything bad in this interview or anything — not like that shady little remark in his last interview, the one about all the NBA players Khloe"s dated.
But would it be too much to ask for him to stop talking about her altogether?
It"s awkward, it"s sad, and it seems pretty clear that he"s not into reliving it all, which is perfectly fair.
Perhaps it"s time for him to tell his people to shut down this kind of talk. It really doesn"t do anyone any favors.
Check out Lamar and feel all these feelings by watching the video below:

Lamar Odom Wants to Play in BIG3 This Year to Honor Rasual Butler
Lamar Odom says his return to the court could happen this summer — telling TMZ Sports he wants to play in Ice Cube’s BIG3 league as a tribute to Rasual Butler. Lamar and the BIG3 have been circling each other for months. We were told Odom spoke…

Khloe Kardashian & Lamar Odom Make Nice Over Rasual Butler Death
Recently, things between Khloe Kardashian and her ex, Lamar Odom, haven’t exactly been ideal. To the point where Lamar threw shade at Khloe that was so unkind that he got slammed by Kim.
But then, an unthinkable tragedy struck them both.
Sometimes, shared grief brings people together to make peace. It’s important to remember what really matters.
Not everyone gets along with their exes. For Khloe and Lamar, things are … more complicated.
Though their divorce was already well underway, when Lamar had his health crisis a few years ago, Khloe dropped everything to be by his side.
That included stalling their divorce process so that Khloe could continue to make decisions for Lamar until he was able to speak for himself.
(Most wives wouldn’t exactly slow down a divorce after their husband visits a brothel, but these were … special circumstances)
Fastforward to 2018, however, and though Lamar himself made a profound recovery, his relationship with Khloe has soured significantly.
As we all know, Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with Tristan Thompson’s baby.
Lamar was asked about it, and though he started off politely enough, he decided to make what sounded like an underhanded jab at his ex.
“I’m happy for her,” he said at the time.
“She took good care of me. She’ll be a good mother, for real. She’s a great woman.”
However, after acknowledging that he still has Khloe’s initials tattooed on his body (from when they got married), he goes out of his way to clarify that he’s not pining after her. He just hasn’t gotten around to getting the tattoo removed.
“I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that.”
Naturally, that bit of unpleasantness was what got Kim Kardashian to threaten to ruin Lamar Odom if he comes after Khloe again.
On Wednesday morning, Rasual Butler and his wife, Leah LaBelle, died in a one-car wreck in Studio City.
Rasual was a former NBA player.
Leah was a contestant on American Idol in 2004.
It appears that the car, a Range Rover, somehow spun out of control, resulting in the deadly crash.
Many friends of the pair are in mourning over this devastating loss.
RadarOnline reports that they have learned that Khloe and Lamar buried the hatchet while both mourning the loss of their friend.
Rasual had actually appeared on Khloe & Lamar back in the day, when he was dating Malika Haqq.
A source close to Lamar reported that: “Lamar is crushed about Rasual’s death, and it was shocking for Khloe, too.”
And the tragic situation caused the exes to contact each other.
“Khloe and Lamar talked after they heard about Rasual’s death. “
And the source sheds a little insight over how the two of them are feeling.
“She told him that she was so sad about the accident. And he is numb.”
Different people respond to sudden horrible news in different ways.
Let’s be clear — this story in no way suggests that Khloe and Lamar are rekindling romantic feelings for each other.
But it’s good and healthy for exes like these two to be able to communicate in an honest way. This sadness strikes at them both.

Kim Kardashian SLAMS Lamar Odom: Go Buy a Hooker!
Earlier this week, Kim Kardashian welcomed her third child, but it seems she’s not letting the challenges of caring for an infant interfere with her ability to defend her beloved sisters with top-notch trash talk.
As we reported earlier today, Lamar Odom gave a very candid interview to BET this week, and not surprisingly, the subject of Khloe Kardashian came up.
It was Lamar’s first interview since the world learned that Khloe is pregnant with her first child, and while Lamar offered words of support, he also slipped in some not-so-subtle jabs.
“I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that,” Lamar replied when asked about his breakup with Khloe.
Kim–presumably sleep deprived and obviously pissed-off–decided she was having none of Lamar’s pettiness and she quote-tweeted the article along with a mic drop-worthy diss:
“Or second or third brothel” Kim wrote in reference to Lamar’s love of prostitutes.
(Pro tip: When someone loves hookers, you can pretty much always use that against them.)
Now, Kim is being applauded for the savagery of her burn–and rightfully so–but we’re gonna have to be the nit-picking party-poopers for a moment and point out that it doesn’t totally make sense.
The tweet makes it sound as though Khloe was on her second or third brothel, when clearly she meant to say Lamar was the brothel aficionado.
We think.
Hey, maybe she’s throwing heavy shade at Khloe, and this story’s even better than we thought!
We kid.
Most people are obnoxious perfectionists like us, so predictably, Twitter immediately exploded with praise for Kim.
Kim was praised as the “Clapback Queen,” many fans made it weird by calling her Mom (a practice we had hoped would be left in 2017), and GIFs of Kim looking like she’d just ordered the beheading of a peasant were plentiful.
Even Kim’s friend Chrissy Teigen offered praise, tweeting:
“GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH EM,” before clarifying, “Gaht*. Gaht too excited.”
Lamar has yet to respond to the tweet, which isn’t all that surprising.
After all, we assume he’s currently being treated a nearby burn unit.
Kim Kardashian Slams Lamar Odom for Visiting Brothels After Khloe Diss
Kim Kardashian went straight for Lamar Odom’s jugular after he was quoted as dissing Khloe Kardashian … making fun of him for visiting brothels. Kim replied to a tweet Thursday in which Lamar was quoted from his interview on BET’s Mancave that…
Lamar Odom: Throwing Shade at Khloe Kardashian Over Pregnancy News?!
OK, so it’s been nearly four months now since we first learned that Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with her first child.
Or one month, if you just want to go from her confirmation of the big news.
Either way, that’s a pretty decent about of time for Lamar Odom to hear about the news and to come to terms with it.
Or at least to come to terms with it enough to be able to give a statement on the subject without coming across as a little bit shady, right?
Wrong!
Lamar makes an appearance in an upcoming episode of Mancave, a talk shot on BET, and he was asked about Khloe’s pregnancy.
“I’m happy for her,” he said. “She took care of me. She’ll be a good mother, for real. She’s a great woman.”
And that part is sweet, right?
It’s also very, very true.
We all remember how, back in 2015, Lamar suffered an overdose that very nearly killed him, and how Khloe stayed by his side, even though they were going through a divorce.
She even called off the divorce so that she’d be able to help make medical decisions for him when he was unable to do so himself.
We heard about how she rarely left his side while he was in the hospital — if she ever did at all — and how she was so intent to stay with him that she didn’t even shower when things were touch and go there for a while.
She said then that she stayed with him because while their marriage obviously didn’t work out, she still had love for him, and she couldn’t just abandon him in such a time.
So she did take care of him, in a very real way.
But this next thing that Lamar said in the interview?
Well, it wasn’t quite so sweet …
“I still got my shawty’s name still on me, her initials still on me,” he said, referring to the matching tattoos he and Khloe got on their hands when they were married.
“But for no reason,” he clarified.
He said that “I understand when it’s over, it’s over. When she was with her second or third NBA ball player, I could see that.”
Damn, Lamar, don’t hold back!
We get that he’s probably just joking around, or trying to make light of a difficult situation, and of course the Kardashians have always appreciated professional athletes for boyfriends.
But this just seems a little too catty, you know?
It’s not like Khloe ran through NBA players after filing for divorce — which she did, by the way, at least in part because Lamar publicly cheated on her.
The only serious relationships she had between Lamar and Tristan Thompson were with French Montana, a rapper, and James Harden.
She was rumored to be dating Rick Fox for a little while in there, too, so Tristan would make her third NBA player after Lamar.
But regardless of the types of men she decides to date, it’s obvious that she’s very happy right now, way happier than she was during much of her marriage to Lamar here.
And really, that’s what counts.

Lamar Odom: Caught Drinking on New Year"s Eve. Here"s the Sad Proof.
New year.
Same Lamar Odom.
This is what fans of the former basketball star and ex-husband of Khloe Kardashian now fear.
TMZ has shared a couple photos of Odom from New Year’s Eve, an occasion which he celebrated in the Dominican Republic.
The images depict Odom hanging out in a local hot spot called Club 59, chilling in a sweater and chatting with a woman who witnesses say he kissed at midnight.
That isn’t the issue, of course.
Odom is certainly allowed to smooch and flirt; he’s a single man likely anxious to mingle.
But the photos also capture Odom with a beer in his hand.
You can check them out HERE.
According to TMZ sources, the green bottle Odom has in hand is called Presidente, a Spanish beer featured in breweries around the Dominican Republic.
He was also seen throwing back some tequila shots.
At this point, the star’s substance abuse problem has been well-documented.
It caused him to be suspended by the NBA a few years ago and it’s the main reason his marriage to Khloe fell apart.
In October of 2015, Odom fell unconscious while spending time at a brothel in Nevada, barely clinging to life in a coma for several days.
You would think such an incident would serve as a turning point, but it’s not that easy to overcome one’s addiction to drugs and/or alcohol.
It has appear on multiple instances since then that Lamar recognized his demons and was prepared to get clean and sober… he’s simply been unable to successfully do so.
In early November, for example, Odom collapsed at a night club in Los Angeles.
A spokesperson for the ex-reality star claimed Lamar was simply dehydrated and tired, but almost no one out there bought that excuse.
“Lamar is spiraling again. He’s out of control,” a source subsequently told People Magazine, adding about eight weeks ago:
“He was better this spring, but things got worse over the summer and everyone is worried things are going to get even worse and they’re scared for him.”
Moreover, it’s not hard to understand why Odom might be driven to drink these days.
While he has not spoken out directly on Khloe’s pregnancy, someone close to the situation say Lamar is crushed by the news.
He and Khloe talked openly about having children back during their relationship and it’s easy to see this exciting news not exactly being so exciting for Odom.
It’s easy to see it having the opposite effect, unfortunately.
As always, we wish the very best to Odom, who nearly everyone says is a caring, sensitive, outstanding individual.
He simply has an addiction.
We pray he overcomes it someday.
Lamar Odom Flirts with Danger Partying in Dominican Republic for NYE
It’s a new year, but the same concerning habits seem to continue dogging Lamar Odom, who was seen partying it up in the Dominican Republic to ring in 2018. Lamar was spotted hitting up a local hot spot on the island nation called Club 59,…

Khloe Kardashian: Did She Lie About Being Infertile with Lamar Odom?!
By now, you’ve surely heard the good news a billion times over …
Khloe Kardashian is pregnant! For real! She confirmed it herself and everything!
A lot of people were happy to hear about the pregnancy, both because Khloe is typically considered the best Kardashian and because so many of us have been following her fertility struggle for years.
When she was married to Lamar Odom, back in the good ol’ days of Khloe & Lamar, we saw them try to have a baby for a very, very long time.
She went to fertility specialists, and she really seemed to struggle with the fact that she was never able to get pregnant.
That’s a big part of why this pregnancy with Tristan Thompson is such good news, but we also can’t ignore a little piece of information that Khloe shared earlier this year.
In an episode of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Khloe visited a doctor who told her that she had fewer follicles on her ovaries than most women her age have.
Meaning that if she were to try to get pregnant, she could have a hard time.
She was taken aback by the news, which didn’t really make sense, given how long she and Lamar tried for a baby.
But, as she revealed later, she “fake-tried” to have a baby.
“I was married,” Khloe explained, “but I knew the circumstances weren’t the healthiest, so I just kept pretending I was trying.”
She said that when she was going through with the fertility treatments, “they were more so for Lamar,” but “I had to stop because there was much deeper stuff that was happening in our marriage.”
It “wasn’t the right kind of situation to bring a child into,” she revealed, and knowing what we know now about Lamar, we can definitely understand that.
But she also said “I think I’ve done a lot of covering up for him. Like, even when it made me look like I was the problem. But I was fine taking on that burden on my shoulders because he had a lot of other, deeper sh-t to deal with.”
She wasn’t very clear here, but the general understanding of all this was that she pretended to have problems with her fertility so that she wouldn’t have to discuss with anyone, even Lamar himself, that her marriage wasn’t the healthiest.
And it’s rubbed a lot of people the wrong way.
After the big pregnancy reveal, one person tweeted “After watching how much @khloekardashian struggled a few years back on kuwtk about getting pregnant, I’m so happy for her & I feel like everything does happen for a reason and she’s finally gonna get her baby.”
It was a sweet sentiment, but someone else replied with “Didn’t she lie (and make a mockery of) about fertility issues all bc she didn’t wanna have kids at the time?”
Thanks to that tweet, Khloe is finally clarifying what she meant when she said she “fake-tried” to get pregnant with Lamar.
“I def wasn’t lying,” she tweeted in response. “I did all my treatments but then when we did further testing we realized I was NOT the one with the issue at the time.”
“It takes two to have a baby. But anyways thank you for the love.”
But see, it’s still confusing, because she did say on the show that she was “pretending I was trying.” Her statement now doesn’t really mesh with what she said then.
Of course, we don’t know the full story, and we’ll never know unless Khloe sits down and really details everything that happened back then with Lamar.
Either way, if she lied or if she didn’t lie, if she fibbed or misspoke or whatever, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t deserve all the well wishes for this precious pregnancy now!
Lamar Odom: CRUSHED, Hurt by Khloe Kardashian"s Pregnancy!
She waited until three months after the news broke, but Khloe Kardashian confirmed her pregnancy … finally. And she even showed off her baby bump.
Khloe is overjoyed. Tristan Thompson is overjoyed.
But Khloe’s ex, Lamar Odom, is having a very different reaction.
Before we talk about Lamar Odom’s response, we need to talk about how Khloe made her big announcement.
Because what Khloe had to say … is very, very relevant.
“My greatest dream realized!” Khloe wrote. “We are having a baby! I had been waiting and wondering but God had a plan all along.”
She writes more about how she finds religious significance behind her pregnancy.
“He knew what He was doing. I simply had to trust in Him and be patient.”
But this is no immaculate conception, and Khloe talks happily about her baby daddy.
“I still at times can’t believe that our love created life! Tristan, thank you for loving me the way that you do!”
Tristan Thompson penned his own tribute to Khloe’s pregnancy, of course.
“Thank you for treating me like a Queen! Thank you for making me feel beautiful at all stages! Tristan, most of all, Thank you for making me a MOMMY!!!”
She’s clearly very excited.
“You have made this experience even more magical than I could have envisioned! I will never forget how wonderful you’ve been to me during this time! Thank you for making me so happy my love!”
Khloe included this photo of her baby bump. Finally!
She also gives a shout-out to fans.
“Thank you to everyone for the love and positive vibes!”
And there’s acknowledgement that we’ve all known about Khloe’s pregnancy since September.
“I know we’ve been keeping this quiet but we wanted to enjoy this between our family and close friends as long as we could privately. To enjoy our first precious moments just us.”
That’s odd for such a public person, but … sure.
“Thank you all for understanding. I am so thankful, excited, nervous, eager, overjoyed and scared all in one! But it’s the best bundle of feelings I’ve ever felt in my life!”
That’s a lot of happiness!
But you know who isn’t feeling the joy?
Lamar Odom.
HollywoodLife reports that Lamar Odom is wounded by Khloe’s wording.
“Lamar is happy for Khloe but that doesn’t mean this doesn’t hurt.”
Famously, Khloe and Lamar tried to get pregnant. Though … Khloe has suggested that she wasn’t trying in earnest, once she saw their relationship deteriorating.
“It’s heartbreaking for him that she’s having a baby with someone else.”
Which means that he still has feelings for her.
“He‘s not over Khloe.”
Yikes.
“Their divorce is still a painful subject for him and one of his biggest regrets is that he wasn’t able to get her pregnant.”
Well, surely he should be happy that he didn’t get her pregnant, or they’d be putting a child through a divorce.
(Unless he believes that a baby would have fixed their relationship. It doesn’t work that way, folks)
“And now that she’s having someone else’s baby it’s a big reminder of how he failed.”
Failed in their relationship.
But also, in his mind, failed as a man.
You know how it’s been suggested that Lamar Odom is sterile?
Since Khloe is pregnant, apparently that rumor is picking up steam. And Lamar’s not loving it.
“People are giving him grief over it too, saying this proves all their fertility troubles were his fault; it’s humiliating.”
“And the things she said in her announcement only makes this worse.”
Certain phrases in particular.
“The stuff about how God’s timing was right all along might be true but it’s still a huge slap in the face to Lamar.”
Basically, she was saying that not only was her relationship with Lamar not meant to last, but divinely ordained to end.
“He wishes she could have been more thoughtful about the words she chose.”
You know what?
As happy as Khloe is and as much as what she does with her uterus is absolutely not Lamar Odom’s business, that last bit sounds fair.
It never hurts to be thoughtful.
It can be so easy to get carried away, telling a joke or celebrating something in front of someone for whom it’s a sore subject.
Choose your words carefully for your audience, folks. It’s part of being a nice person.

Lamar Odom is "Out of Control," Source Sadly Alleges
According to a new report, Lamar Odom did not collapse at a nightclub last week simply because he was very tired from working out.
Shocking, we know.
This is what a spokesperson for the former reality and NBA star actually alleged, however, after Odom fell to the floor early Sunday morning at Bootsy Bellows in Los Angeles.
Due to Odom’s history of drug and alcohol abuse, it was questionable why he was even in the establishment.
But Lamar’s rep downplayed the incident shortly afterward, saying Odom is doing “well” and adding by way of explanation:
“He was dehydrated and had been in an intense workout earlier in the day. It was also very hot in the club.”
No one really believed this at the time.
Most celebrity gossip followers figured Odom had, unfortunately, fallen off the wagon once again.
And now a People Magazine report appears to back up this assumption.
“Lamar is spiraling again. He’s out of control,” an insider tells this publication of Odom, adding in further disturbing detail:
“He was better this spring, but things got worse over the summer and everyone is worried things are going to get even worse and they’re scared for him.”
We can’t verify these claims outside of relaying them to our readers, but it wouldn’t come as a shock that this would be a challenging time for Odom.
Ex-wife Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with her first child; she’s expecting a baby in early spring.
Moreover, she’s expecting this baby with Tristan Thompson, who is also a professional basketball player and who also mostly plays power forward.
This is the same position Odom played throughout his career.
So it really is if Khloe has directly replaced her ex-husband with a new and less hurtful version.
Lamar has admitted to cheating on Khloe during their marriage.
