After individually sending their thoughts and prayers to Lamar Odom via social media this week, the young members of the Kardashian-Jenner family have released a joint statement.
With Odom allegedly brain dead and with hope tragically running low, the sisters gave fans a brief update on their personal status, while also touching on their latest business ventures.
Via a message posted on the new websites of Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, the siblings wrote:
“As a family, we’ve decided to hold off on publishing content across our apps while we continue to support and pray for Lamar. Thank you for your kindness and understanding during this difficult time.”
(Kourtney Kardashian does not have an app.)
Following a weekend of partying at a brothel in Nevada, Odom was found unconscious on Tuesday afternoon.
Tests have revealed both cocaine and a dangerous herbal supplement were in his system at the time of the incident, with Khloe, Kim and Kris Jenner flying to Lamar’s hospital bedside as soon as they learned the news.
Other family members later joined them, although everyone except Khloe has now headed back home to California.
Odom, however, remains in a coma. His prognosis has not improved and some outlets have reported that, even if Lamar survives, he will be brain dead.
The two-time NBA champion has battled substance abuse for many years.
He fell off the wagon after about four years of marriage to Khloe Kardashian, disappearing for a time and eventually admitting to infidelity during his drug binge.
Khloe as left with no choice but to divorce Lamar, although they are still legally married and she is therefore in charge of his medical decisions.
Since the couple’s split, she has also been very open about her strong feelings for her estranged husband.
According to a People Magazine insider, Odom is on his “last leg.” He’s hooked up to ventilator and the family is “preparing for the worst.”
Adds this source:
“Khloé has always loved him. And that has never changed and if he didn’t have issues, they would be together. She’s devastated.”
