Lamar Odom Begged Khloe Kardashian to Keep Him Off of KUWTK Just Weeks Before Collapse, Source Claims

As you’ve likely heard by now, Lamar Odom was found unconscious in a VIP suite at the Love Ranch brothel in Nevada on Tuesday night.

As more details have emerged, it’s become clear that Odom was profoundly distressed in the days leading up to his collapse, and many feel that his depression and anxiety were brought about in part by his continued unwanted fame.

Friends and workers at the Love Ranch have stated that they feel Odom’s relapse was triggered by watching Keeping Up With the Kardashians on Sunday night.

The 35-year-old NBA star has struggled with addiction issues throughout his life, but apparently after watching his estranged wife’s reality show, he became noticeably despondent and even more careless than usual with his drug abuse.

Now, sources tell Radar Online that part of the problem may have been that the Kardashian family refused to leave Odom out of their reality show drama. 

A source says Lamar recently “pleaded with Khloe to stop having the production crew from KUWTK film their phone conversations. He wanted them to remain private.

“But he was powerless to stop it because Lamar had previously signed off on having phone calls recorded when he was married to Khloe, and part of the show.

“Khloe would either ignore the texts and voice mail messages asking her to stop, or she would tell him, ‘You owe me this after you humiliated me by cheating with other women."”

The source says the combination of Khloe’s relationship with James Harden and her decision to continue featuring conversations with Odom on the show created a tremendous amount of stress for Lamar.

“Lamar had no idea that he was going to be Khloe’s storyline during the past season. She is always talking about how much she loves the guy, but has no problem exploiting Lamar for her gain. How low can Khloe go?

“The Kardashians all have Lamar’s blood on their hands. [They] demonized and exploited him for their stupid show.”

Clearly Lamar’s relationship with Khloe was just one of many factors that led to his current state, but the Kardashians and their popular series may both be the subjects of harsh criticism in the days to come.

Chelsea Houska: My Porn Name is Farrah!

Among the lighter, funnier quotes from last night’s Teen Mom 2: Unseen Moments special on MTV was a group discussion of faux porn names.

Specifically, what moniker Chelsea Houska would pick …

The back and forth between fab four Chelsea Houska, Jenelle Evans, Leah Messer and Kailyn Lowry was mostly light-hearted and upbeat.

Not exactly what you see when you watch Teen Mom 2 online on a regular basis, we know, but that made for a really fun change of pace.

Case in point: During Kailyn’s rapid fire questions, she was asked what her porn name would be. You know, if she were to join that trade.

That’s when Chelsea burst out shouting “Farrah!”

All the girls could not help but laugh at the reference to the infamous Teen Mom star turned Backdoor Teen Mom star, Farrah Abraham.

(Kailyn cleverly chose “Britney Spearhead.”)

As for those Jenelle Evans sex tape rumors, she claims she’s been offered a lot of money to film one, but won’t be going there, thank you.

No Jenelle … for your kids’ sake, thank you.

After the wildest, most tense season yet, with domestic violence, parental neglect and more on the table, it was nice to hear the girls laugh.

Especially since none of them are planning on getting into porn for real. Yet. We think. If they do, “Kendra” could be a good name as well …
