As we discussed yesterday, Lamar Odom is improving. Considering how bad everything looked for Lamar on Tuesday and Wednesday, his slowly unfolding recovery seems nothing short of miraculous. Sources told E!, TMZ and People over the weekend that Lamar is breathing on his own, he’s off the ventilator, and he’s responsive to questions, which seems to indicate that neurologically, he’s doing well. But Lamar is still experiencing renal failure and if he does recover to some degree, it will be a very long process. Here’s what People Mag is saying:
While Lamar Odom continues to recover from his medical crisis last week, estranged wife Khloé Kardashian “won’t leave his side,” a source tells PEOPLE.
“She wants to be there so that whenever he opens his eyes, he sees her,” the source says.
Kardashian, 31, “is happy he is off the ventilator and is breathing on his own, but she is still scared and still concerned,” a family source also tells PEOPLE. “He’s woken up and his heart is stronger, but there is still concern about his organs.”
Both sources confirm that Odom, 35, is no longer on a ventilator. “Things are looking brighter,” the family source says. But Odom has not been texting, the source says. He has been able to talk, though it’s unclear how much, the family source says: “I think it’s minimal.”
Odom awoke Friday from a four-day coma, after he was found unconscious Tuesday at a Nevada brothel. Cocaine and opiates were found in his system and he had suffered multiple strokes, PEOPLE confirmed.
“His organs still aren’t that strong,” the family source says, adding that “they don’t know the damage. Lamar still has a way to go,” the source says. “It’s promising, but he is not home-free.”
Sources are telling TMZ similar things, that his condition is promising but his recovery will take months. Sources say that the doctors believe “an undetermined amount of damage to his body will be permanent” and that Lamar will need months of physical and speech therapy. Sources also say that Khloe is determined to be with him the entire way, “say she has vowed to stay with him through the entire ordeal … and that includes all therapy.” TMZ also notes that since everything with Lamar has gone down, Khloe has not mentioned anything about her boyfriend James Harden. Which… I mean, is anyone judging her for that? Khloe and James have only been together a few months and it had “fun fling” written all over it. Of course she’s focused on Lamar right now.

Let’s just hope they won’t surround him with their usual media circus, that’s the last thing he needs during recovery.
PMK will never let that happen. Cameras will be rolling the entire time.
I sure hope they got the bit on film where he woke up and said “hey baby” while intubated.
That will be some Emmy worthy viewing.
Right? Convenient phrasing, that.
He needs to wake up and order that entire soul-destroying family out of his hospital room and out of his life. Here’s hoping he surrounds himself with people who love him for him and who couldn’t care less about the publicity.
Run, Lamar, run!
Pretty sure he’ll stick to the people who rushed to his side.
If he was furious for what Khloe did with the portrayal of him on the show and it sent him over the edge…imagine what he will feel like and do when he finally is out of the hospital bubble and is in contact with other friends and sees what Khloe has been leaking to press about his condition and how she has allowed this to be portrayed to the public. Hopefully, the truth about his life taking a nose dive after his involvement with her will become clear. I’m not saying he was an angel, but his life took a bad turn after marrying her. I mean they only knew each other a month and got married. That family is dangerous and if he was some less famous less wealthy guy the marriage never would’ve happened. They are users. It’s going to hit the fan and hopefully he will expose them once and for all as he promised when he said…one more time I’m exposing you guys…Khloe and her angle hasn’t changed. She is toxic for him…sorry it’s the truth. Hoping he cuts them out of his life and gets healthy. Living well is the best revenge. God be with you, Lamar.
Of one that lov’d not wisely but too well…I don’t doubt Khloe loves Lamar. But I also believe, strongly, that PMK sees RATINGS BONANZA flashing behind her eyelids every time she blinks, and that she will manipulate Khloe into doing all this on camera.
*SMH* This family…
This. I really don’t have any doubt at this point that she carries a torch for him, for good or for ill. She truly seems to have a connection with him. Still, I’m hoping (as someone else pointed out too) that this whole thing doesn’t get Kardashian-ified.
Exactly. EXACTLY.
I kind of think it shows good character for her to help take care of him. She has zero obligation to him now that they are technically almost divorced.
Whether or not they get back togehter is inconsequential. Being a caregiver like this is really hard and taxing. Khloe might just be able to save the rest of her morally reprehensible family
You don’t see “new storyline” written all over this? Most of the K clan just flew back out there. Are we really to believe they don’t have a film crew with them? What else would they be doing? Excuse my cynicism, but . . .
I vote for “new storyline”. The Kardashians are all about the kash.
Reports indicate they do not have a film crew with them & hospitals do not allow it either.
I vote for new story line. Even if blackwidow Kris has to wear a camera in her hat.
New storyline all the way. Ugh. There’s gotta be some way that there can be a legal ban on that right? Can Lamar get that instituted?
Your cynicism makes sense, but as long as he’s got someone to support him through the years of rehab he’s got ahead of him, then IDK – I just don’t think all that matters.
I vote new storyline as well. Khloe as hero instead of victim of Lamar …. can’t see her giving up her gym schedule to hang with him though.
MK on Dlisted said it will be the “Khloe Saves Lamar” show.
He nailed it.
Well yes but I really was trying to give at least one of those women the benefit of the doubt. I really can’t stand that family.
But I also work with chronically ill patients and caregivers and I’ve seen devoted spouses leave mid treatment because they can’t handle it. So if she’s willing to do this, she’s a bigger person than many. If her motivation is suspect, she won’t stick around.
Wonder what the new reality show is going to be called, “Lamar, the way to recovery” or something like that! Just wait and see! Disfunction Junction…that is what that family is. They reached a new low with all the fake calls from Lamar to Khloe so she could discuss his problems on KUWTK and leaking his medical information to the press Disgusting!
Call me cynical, but what choice does she have. If she isn’t with him and seen to be taking care of him, it will play out badly on her public reputation. Being a caregiver is hard and taxing, you said it, but they have tonnes of money and that goes a long way toward employing a professional team to help out. It’s not like a normal joe-blow having to give up their job to look after their ageing parents 24/7.
I really hope that story in the nypost was not altogether true about the camera crew accompanying the family to the hospital. That really would be too sick.
I agree – it’s not like she’ll be doing any actual work, and I somehow think that the money for the professionals will be coming from his own account or insurance. They only way I would ever believe that she actually loves him is if this entire event, including anything about his rehab, stays off that hideous show of theirs. If she wants a relationship with him, it seems clear that she cannot be on that show anymore. But no doubt she’ll justify a way to stay on the show, and to broadcast all of his business on the show as well. This people really are a sickness in my mind.
Yes. I’m not sure how much of her “care” is genuine v. saving her reputation. And I don’t beleive at this point, that Chris manipulates Khloe. Khloe is a big girl and makes her own decisions. She’s become part of the soiled money grubbing machine that the KKlan is.
She’s vowed to take care of him. It hasn’t happened yet. We’ll see if she actually does it. Lamar has an incredible amount of rehab in front of him (and don’t forget that he has substance abuse issues) and those two were split up. Caretaking someone like that is incredibly difficult even when your relationship is solid.
She may oversee whoever is the manager of his care, but I seriously doubt she will be very hands-on like the average person would have to be. She / they have the money to hire 24/7 staff, as needed.
He allegedly spent more than 75 grand on that four day escapade. Paying for in-home care or a rehab facility stay probably is not an issue.
My point was more that it’s easy to make a grand proclamation now. We’ll see if she actually follows through, because this stuff isn’t easy. And if he had multiple strokes and organ failure, chances are he has years worth of therapy in front of him, not months.
I latched on to the caregiving part of the comment because I provided daily care to both my parents for years (while working full time and having my own home to look after). It is a long, hard road that requires patience and selflessness.
It will be interesting to see if she follows through, and to what degree. The narrative seems to change daily, so it could always be watered down (along the lines of, she will always support him — but she just won’t be there all the time).
It’s not like anyone actually expects Khloe to take care of him and provide the rehab. That of course would go to people who are licensed, qualified professionals. But even when you’re not the person directly providing care, it is HARD. Even if the financial is taken care of. And these two are on shaky ground to begin with, and it’s not like she’s the straightest arrow out there. It’s easy to say “I’ll be there every step” but he’s supposed to be her ex husband for a reason. This puts strain on even the healthiest relationship. And as I said, it’s easy to make the big proclamations now, when they haven’t even left the hospital.
As many others have said, a Kardashian won’t be actually looking after him. They don’t have time for that. Devoting hours and hours selflessly to another person is not part of their programming, however PMK may choose to spin it.
Lots of Kardashian trolls here…waving at PMK. We see you.
I’ve seriously had enough of all of this Klan and everything they represent. Am not opening any more Kardashian posts.
Khloe has always been the Kardashian that seemed likable.. Before she got the butt implants and started palying along with the absurdness of the rest of the family.
Maybe this will bring Khloe’s humanity back?
its not like she has ANYTHING ELSE TO DO!!!
(but i believe theyre in love)
What they’re not saying is that he’ll probably be on long-term dialysis, unless he can get a transplant(s). You can live just fine on it…had plenty of relatives do so, but he’s rather young to face this.
My thoughts exactly. Dialysis ain’t glamorous or ideal, but it can work.
Especially when you have enough money to have the medical equipment in your house.
This is the long stretch and it will be truly exhausting. Stroke recovery is hard without the dialysis part. Combined I cannot imagine the strength of will needed to succeed. I have been through the stroke recovery part with a family member and it is challenging, a lot of life changes are required. I would be surprised and (sorry to say) disappointed if Lamar recieved a transplant. Drug use is one of the top reasons he would be at the bottom of the list.
Young people can live 40 years on diaylsis but you have to be perfect.
I personally don’t believe KUWTK are doing this for ratings. I am almost positive Kris and Kim begged Khloe not to do this and were asked to leave.
Since Khloe has decided to go this route, I wish she and Lamar success.
My family is currently dealing with someone who was just in ER, Hospital for renal failure. It happened 3 days before Lamar’s OD. The doctor’s still do not know what injured his kidneys, it has been determined it was acute and although he is on dialysis, it’s looking like a temporary thing thankfully.
I have been engrossed in reading all the Lamar posts as so many commenters here have shared their stories and knowledge of renal failure. The one insight I can add is that the doctor advised our family that it take about a week for kidneys to heal so being on dialysis – temporarily is something that does happen. Perhaps Lamar’s kidneys are healing and he will not have long term kidney damage? Who knows. But from when this story first broke, to say I’m shocked he is alive and off life support is an understatement.
I wish Lamar the best in his recovery and hope it’s private as it should be and not made into entertainment.
And if he’s an addict, he’s not eligible for transplant until he’s been clean for a certain amount of time. So he will be on dialysis for a while.
So three weeks ago you were scared for your life and needed bodyguards, your divorce would have been already pronounced if not for the court backlog…. But now all of a sudden you are a devoted wifey by his bedside. And people are buying this? Because now all of a sudden, after he overdosed on drugs with hookers, he is once again your husband and …? I am sorry, all I see is a plot for ratings taking advantage of Lamar’s hitting rock bottom. She would convince me of her change of heart if they somehow shop the divorce paperwork (can it be done?) and they spend the year completely away from kameras, so Lamar can get better both mentally and physically. But the chances for that are zero, IMHO.
Maybe it’s possible she still cared about him but not about his behavior while he was on drugs or that he humiliated her by cheating on her in a very public way. It’s possible his behavior scared her or maybe she was using it for the show. It doesn’t mean that she is still doing that. It’s entirely possible she still loves him. Relationships can get very complicated & so do people. Not everything is black and white, there are shades of gray with every situation. I’d wait and see what happens first before automatically jumping to conclusions. The same people that are doubting Khloe’s intentions also doubted that Lamar had a drug problem too…turns out the doubters were wrong.
This woman allowed a phone call from Lamar, where he told her about his best friend’s death from an overdose, to be taped and aired on the Kardashian reality show. And I’m supposed to believe that she cares one bit about him? This level of disrespect and disregard ain’t grey in my mind, I’m sorry.
But that is exactly what I said. Right now I am not buying what I perceive to be an act from a member of a family who lives on Kamera for ratings. BUT if she actually goes through with caring for him off camera and they work on the issues – his, hers, theirs, whatever… I will be be glad to believe her sincerity and devotion. Right now, pardon me for thinking that as a Kardashian, all she is doing is just another great PR move.
I didn’t doubt he had some problem with drugs, I simply saw no reason to believe the escalating tales we were being fed by the Kardashians. They are not known for truthfulness but are indeed known for lying and exaggerating for their own purposes, especially when deflecting attention from another story such as his cheating.
You do not need to be an addict to have problems with drugs. Like alcohol, they can be used to run away from problems rather than dealing with the underlying issues, as a temporary fix. Cocaine in particular can kill and maim with infrequent and even first-time use. But any drug can have serious side effects for particular individuals, depending on their particular body chemistry, it’s just that some drugs are especially likely to cause problems. People who think they’re safe because they are only casual users are quite wrong.
@sauvage- how about the level of disrespect that Lamar showed Khloe when he cheated on her? Like I have said repeatedly it’s entirely possible she does care despite her actions leading up to last week. We are all different, it’s what makes life complicated at times. You cannot possibly know her motivations, reality show or not. Sorry, I chose to give people the benefit of the doubt. If I am wrong, it won’t be the first time and it won’t be the last. At least I am not judgmental or cold.
@vauvert- I’m the opposite, until I see footage of Khole besides his bed saying I love you Lamar and him responding, I will give her the benefit of the doubt. She’s the only one, though. Personally she is the only family member i can tolerate… up to a certain point. Her defending Tyga’s relationship with Kylie completely disgusted me. That being said until I see her use Lamar’s overdose for publicity, I will argue the opposite.
@jwoolman- it seems that the Kardashians were not feeding tales though. I’m sorry he did not have just some problem with drugs, he’s an addict and him overdosing confirms it. The guy is 6 foot 10 inches, there is no way a line or two of coke would have caused the damage it did. If there were track marks on his arm, that means he was SHOOTING UP DRUGS. No casual user does that, sorry. Did the Kardashians exploit his drug use for publicity? Sure, they did. But they did not make it up.
Tammy- we don’t know the true level of his drug use two years ago, when the K Klan was spinning their tabloid stories about him. They simply are not reliable sources.
The mere fact that headlines everywhere are screaming “Khloe will be by his side” shows you that this is not about love but business. If she loved him, she wouldn’t need to turn his condition and rehab into constant headlines. This entire situation was been all about her and her family. If she loved him she would keep things private, but this is about headlines, not devotion and certainly not love.
I am with Vauvert on this one. She willingly set him up so she could have a story line just a few months ago. Nope I am not buying this at all. She will be there as long as there is media interest or until a judge finally finalizes their divorce. I wonder what James Harden is thinking now? Was any of that for real or was he in on having some sort of a fake relationship? If I were LaMar’s family she would be gone and if I couldn’t kick her out I’d get rid of her extended family very quickly.
For that matter, how is his medical information public knowledge? Such caring individuals releasing his private information to gossip pubs. Then again – we have only gossip pubs reporting his condition. For all we know, none of this is real. It’s all OTT – OD’ing in a brothel???? I’m skeptical. If that had really happened, no one would think his soon-to-be-ex was remiss in not caring for him. This stinks like a set-up reality show stunt.
Probably planned out by the people who live in the center of the earth.
Yep. If she really “loved” him and cared what was best she would’ve honored his wishes and not put him on blast during this whole ordeal. Her sincerity would be evident bc the whole spin in the press would’ve been hush hush to give him some dignity.
Khloe will be there, and so will all the cameras, because she’ll threaten to leave his side if he says no. No means no, Kardashians.
They’ll document it. Khloe n Lamar 2gether through therapy, drugs n love. There is no way she would step away from her $$$$ making practiced show n not b in spotlight somehow. Tweets n pics of therapy while focusing on her scandally dressed for pics while leaking info of how SHE is dealing with all this.
So why hasn’t Khloe tweeted or instagramed a photo at all? Why hasn’t she posted anything on how she’s dealing with it? Where are the cameras? Is it possible she didn’t bring any? Is it possible she still cares about him?
Khloe hasn’t done it because that mother of hers has been front and center feeding *all* of this info to the press. But it’s cute the way you keep trying to turn the narrative to that family being loving and concerned lol
She doesn’t have to tweet or instagram, that’s what all these “sources” are for. We have had front row tickets to her vigil from day 1. In fact if you didn’t know better you would doubt that he had actual family there too, his kids and his aunt. When Lamar flatters his eyes or has a hint of a smile or says any words at all, it’s not only to a Kardashian but we are instantly updated by anonymous sources. She may not have cameras running but trust me, there’ll be lots of talking head interviews about this last week on their trash show. The Brave Solitary Vigil Of One Khloe Kardashian.
@Naya…excellently put. I do think she cared/cares for him but when the media dies down so too will this new devotion. Not to be mean but she is now in the forefront of the family Kircus & not a backseat clown to Kim
Didn’t the sisters all post the same message on their websites/apps, saying they are taking “family time” during this period and wouldn’t be posting anything for a while? That’s kind of win-win; It makes them appear koncerned, karing and kompassionate, (sorry…!), but addresses the oldest rule in showbiz – always leave them wanting more.
Everyone on here seems so knowledgable about how all this stuff works (unlike me), so can anyone tell me please:
A) Have any of these reports of his dire condition a few days ago, to this miraculous turn of events today, been officially confirmed by any health professional taking care of LO? Or are they just the usual K sources? For all we know, he may not have been as bad as first claimed, and may not be as well-off as is being leaked now. It’s just that they embroider the truth so much, it’s hard to believe anything they say.
B) Is there a reason why they’ve always got bodyguards around them? Is it to make the world believe tgey are so important that others might wish to harm them? Have they previously had cause to be scared for their safety? Or is it just part of their shtick?
C) Why do they all drag along the hangers-on…ahem…best friends… almost everywhere they go? Are they the true “information sources”?
I’m interested because we don’t see this level of famewhorey carry-on in Australia.
@Zzzingara, I can partially answer question #1 – Physicians or anyone associated with the hospital/care of Lamar cannot release information on his condition due to HIPAA laws. Now, if the family gives permission for the hospital to release the information then the hospital can do so (and many times this happens). As far as #2 & #3, who knows. There have been a couple incidents where fans have gotten too close and therefore bodyguards may be needed.
Thank you, swack. I’d thought as much for my first question, as it’s very much the same here. Doctors are very careful about releasing information, as they should be. I’m on extended sick leave at present, and my mobility is very limited, so have had the telly on more than usual. This story has been getting a bit of coverage here, but mostly on the gossip section of morning shows. It did get mentioned on the news a couple of times when LO was rushed to hospital, but I don’t recall ever seeing a health care professional making any sort of comment.
I wonder if we’ll ever know whether his health last week, and progress now, was exaggerated? I think I need to get back to work…
I hate to be cynical but of course they will be – Mama Kris is probably drooling at all of the story lines that will come out of it for their pathetic show.
I’m glad he’s doing well, but someone needs to get him far away from that family and let him recover in peace.
Sadly that is what I think. They are probably thrilled this happened so they can have a storyline where they look like caring people. Kris is dancing she is so thrilled Lamar almost died.
Absolutely. He needs to get a restraining order out on everyone in his life named Kardashian or Jenner.
These people are emotional vampires and now that Lamar’s painfully sad situation is such a juicy storyline for their TV show, they will never let him go. He needs to realize that they will suck him dry and toss him aside just like before. They will build him up and then kick the chair out from under him because it’s good entertainment for the show. Jesus.
Hopefully there are people left in Lamar’s life who still care about him for him, and hopefully he can lean on these folks in the future for comfort and support.
I agree with everything you all said. It just all fell into Ktis’ lap, didn’t it? She didn’t have to lift one fake-fingernailed finger. Does anyone think it’s like a crossroads for the KTrain? Will they all regroup, reinvent, regrow (the brand) and go on to be even “bigger” (pains in the arse) than they are now, or will this episode somehow cause deep fissures to develop, which might finally bring this train to a halt?
I’m just gonna say it. …SHENANIGANS.
Pimp mama K is gonna get an Emmy for reality scripting within five years.
President Kanye has called it.
I better get my broom
but he is better off without her. She doesn’t have his best interest at heart. Just two months ago she portrayed him as a stalker when she was the one that asked to meet with him at the gym. And she is letting her mom leak his medical condition to the media. Lamar’s recovery needs to be private. We shouldn’t have to hear a million different stories about what’s going on with him. And not to forget how just last Sunday they were protesting him in a negative light on their show. None of them care they are just trying to capitalize on the publicity.
I wish Lamar the best and I pray he gets it together and this is a wake up call for him. He is so lucky to be alive and continually showing progress as he is getting better.
I posted before I read this. 100% agreed.
this is an unhealthy situation and he needs someone else to care for him.
I think any major athlete who had this happen would be getting a lot of attention also, not just one connected to this family.
But their familes wouldn’t leak every medical detail to the press AND they certainly wouldn’t make the news about the athlete’s recovery all about how THEY are feeling about it.
In 2013, Michael Schuhmacher, a retired, famous German racing driver,had a very serious and nearly fatal ski accident. There were many speculations and the press was informed by Schuhmacher`s agents. There were no unknown sources telling the press about his condition and the family did not show in public.
Exactly what I said multiple times. I so agree. They would be already divorced if not for the court backlog. She had moved on – and on – and this whole nursing him in his darkest hour is so calculated.
Khloe’s dress is beautiful. I want it. I think it would look nice on me.
And, best wishes to Lamar for a continued recovery!
I get the feeling he survived while his friends dropped like flies ODing because he’s just so big. And strong. Otherwise he’d be dead. Not sure what my point is other than he’s awfully lucky.
Yes, he is very lucky.
That may have some to do with it, as it would possibly take more but not necessarily true. My daughter’s fiance was a drug addict, xanax was his drug of choice. He was a big, strong man. All it took was not getting his drug of choice and snorting heroin instead – one time – died that same night. I think luck played a part in this also.
Am I the only suKKKKKer here, lol? I can totally understand how she would want to be there with him and for him. I’m not the least bit a fan of any of them and have literally never watched any of their shows, but I think her intentions are, dare I say…pure???
I think her intentions are pure too. Imo, he’s the love of her life. They were so cute together, I hope they work it out.
I agree.
Actually starting to respect Khloe!
If we weren’t getting all these anonymous “leaks” and if she hadn’t set him up to look like a stalker, I might agree. If this is how Khloe treats people she “loves,” I can’t imagine how she treats people she hates.
Too early to tell. I’m hoping Khloe’s intentions are good, but I don’t trust her mother or Kim and the pressures they will put on her. If the cameras start rolling and it all shows up on their idiot show- then we’ll know whose intentions won out.
I’ve heard that Kobe has been with him also. If that’s true, hope Kobe keeps a close eye on the Koven. Demon Mother is just waiting to pounce. In addition to looking for an opportunity to get him to agree to filming Khloe & Lamar: The Rehabilitation, I’m sure Demon Mother is especially concerned about making sure Lamar doesn’t make any changes in his will or insurance beneficiaries as well, which are both highly favorable to Khloe even if divorced. He really needs a non-Kardashian of sufficient stature protecting him right now.
No I think her intentions are good right now. Her mother will be the one to mess things up. Khloe has always seemed to be less about the cameras than the rest of them, besides kourtney.
Regardless, khloe has a loooooooong road ahead of her as a caregiver. And she is going to need support too. Not just Lamar.
I agree. She loves Lamar alot, hence the stalling of the divorce. I hope he gets better and does better. I believe all that silly crap on the show previously was for ratings….and that it has been hard for her to deal with his drug issues and the embarrassment of his cheating. It will all work out how its supposed to.
This is an A frame relationship and Lamar needs someone else to take care of him.
It was not long ago she was accusing him of abuse, of stalking her. Nothing has changed, just this latest crisis. It’s an unhealthy situation, emotionally, for these 2 people.
Hear hear! He needs to start afresh just focus on his sobriety.
Even trying to have a relationship especially one with so much baggage may be detrimental to his peace of mind and well being.
In rehab, aren’t people told not to have any type of romantic relationship for at least a year so that the person can work on him/herself? He really needs to do this in private and has the means to do so.
Obviously they aren’t being told to break up with their husband or wife. But getting back into a unstable and possibly toxic relationship with an ex isn’t going to be recommended. They are suppose to have a stable environment around them. If there’s drama with the person they are with it may lead to relapses. They should be focuses on their own health and well being. If you are trying to repair a broken relationship at the same time that is going to be tough.
Of course she will.
And somehow, some magical way, little updates about every step of his recovery and when he smiles, laughs, and looks at her adoringly will be leaked to the media as well.
You know, ‘somehow’.
Learn from past mistakes Lamar, start afresh and be determined to remove all negative and destructive influences from your life. Drugs and people.
I am in the skeptical camp. While I don’t know if Khloe’s unwavering devotion will last, I suspect certain members of her family are seeing a sympathetic storyline for at least another season.
Granted, his situation had to be serious, but I think some of the medical details the first 72 hours may have been a bit exaggerated. Wonder who leaked the more dramatic aspects? Could their name start with a K?
For all those who think this won’t be a story line, you might want to read this:
http://nypost.com/2015/10/18/how-the-kardashians-destroy-peoples-lives-for-reality-ratings/
The way that article portrays all the men in the Kardashians’ lives as helpless innocents with no agency of their own is pretty offensive.
Disick seemed really cool with reality TV and everything Kardashian until he was exiled from the family and told the gravy train is coming to its final stop. Humphries also knew what he was getting into, but he wanted the goose that laid the golden egg. What about poor Kanye? How is he handling these Evil Women who are clearly attempting to victimize him? Looks like Kanye might actually be rich and professionally savvy enough to know that he doesn’t want to be a part of that circus that they call a reality TV show. WOW. Looks like men DO know how to take care of themselves after all! Don’t want to be a part of a reality TV show? Then just SAY NO or better yet, don’t marry a Kardashian.
Yes, this family is toxic as f*ck but I am so freaking tired of people treating grown men like babies who are incapable of making good, sound ADULT decisions for themselves.
@Kitten, You make excellent points here. No one was a truly innocent victim. Disick was arguably their most willing participant as long as the paychecks kept coming. I actually don’t believe that the majority of his filmed shenanigans were even real. Those who don’t watch might not know, but one episode in the earlier days showed him supposedly so drunk and out of control that he shoved a $100 bill into a waiters mouth. I thought it was total bullsh-t for ratings, but it was the act that created the “Scott the Wild Drunk” character. It was all fun and games for him until he really started to have problems. But the Kardashians really don’t care, someone could be on the verge of death, those cameras are going to keep rolling.
I thought it was wrong of Khloe to use Lamar’s struggles for a ratings boost. This includes her using their phone calls as part of her storyline, but at the end of the day, Lamar had to give the OK.
I will say this much though, I liked a lot of the verbiage used in the article, particularly the emphasis placed on the Kardashian/Jenner clan being “fame-obsessed.” Just about every relationship these people have had has been destroyed by their quest and thirst for fame. It’s their formula to expose every last detail about themselves and as a result, they want to be able to do the same to those involved with them, and it usually ends up in failed relationships but they don’t care. They truly place fame above all else in life.
Did Kim have to post a photo of her and Lamar dancing and post a caption about how her and Kendall were able to make him laugh? This is where I agree with the article–just because Khloe was married to this man/maybe still loves him, the rest of her family feels like he’s open game to garner attention or sympathy for themselves. Kim was just on TV telling Khloe she’s disgusting for still speaking to Lamar. Now she loves him and he’s wonderful? They’re such awful people, it’s almost hard to comprehend.
Yes, I agree. Men are not helpless creatures and these women do not share my values, but they aren’t magic evil witches. Everybody is an adult here. I find it troubling that people are getting off on blaming the women for everything from Rob’s weight gain to Lamar’s overdose. I don’t like them, either, but there’s something misogynist about the delight.
Kris H may have know what he was getting into, but I don’t think he expected to be handed divorce papers after 72 days of marriage.
@kitten
I agree with you to some extent but when someone starts having serious issues such as Lamar, it’s time to shut the cameras off particularly if he is asking for it. That is common human decency. you don’t want to contribute to kicking someone who is down.
@Daria-No lies detected in your comment but I just have to paste this portion: “It’s their formula to expose every last detail about themselves and as a result, they want to be able to do the same to those involved with them, and it usually ends up in failed relationships but they don’t care. They truly place fame above all else in life.”
Yes exactly, and the way this family operates has been NO SECRET for the 8 years that these people have had a reality TV show. If you and I know that they will do anything for money and fame, then the people who agree to be on their reality TV show know as much as well. Even if we were to be incredibly generous and say that perhaps Humphries or Odom didn’t know what they were signing up for, they have a TEAM of people advising them about the right moves to make for their career and public image. They have very good lawyers that they pay a lot of money to review contracts like the one that they signed before agreeing to appear on KUWTK.
As far as the oversharing on social media or the hard-partying that goes on in front of the cameras, the Ks are really not that different than most of their celebrity counterparts, even if they are perhaps a more extreme version.
Hell, I have FB “friends” who post pics of their kids in a hospital bed or post personal details about their partner/wife/husband/family member. As someone who doesn’t frequent social media and is pretty private overall, frankly none of it makes sense to me. This family is f*cked up for sure, but I side-eye the people who gravitate towards them as well. Maybe I simply have higher standards for whom I choose to befriend or date (much less marry) but I wouldn’t hang out with someone who was filming a reality TV show because I know it’s scripted, edited, and manipulated for maximum entertainment. I simply don’t have anything in common with people who make a living that way.
@ GNAT- THIS completely: “I find it troubling that people are getting off on blaming the women for everything from Rob’s weight gain to Lamar’s overdose. I don’t like them, either, but there’s something misogynist about the delight.”
It smacks of misogyny.
@Hannah-How about going one better than shutting off the cameras? How about Lamar and his family refuse Khloe and the Kardashians entrance into Lamar’s hospital room? Wouldn’t that fall under his legal right to privacy while staying in a hospital?
@Kitten: they are completely mercenary. They will sell ANYTHING, from relationships to break-ups to pregnancy and death. Everything. Their personal life is their business, after all. So instead of saying “oh these poor guys, caught in their web” I immediately side-eye any guy that gets involved, because at this point they know what they’re getting in to.
Kitten
I thought I read that legally she’s responsible for him as the divorce isn’t finalised? That surely means she can’t be kicked out nor is she likely to kick out her own family? His family can’t control her if she’s still legally his wife. As for him.
he was in a coma until the weekend I wouldn’t expect him to get into a fight with her straight away. I doubt he is strong enough for that.
By the way I wasn’t merely referring to this particular situation I was thinking about previous episodes. He clearly wasn’t well for a long time. It was time to shut off the cameras quite a while ago.
Read it yesterday, and it pretty much exposes these people for what they are. Do I believe Khloe is truly distraught and keeping vigil by Lamar’s bedside? Yes, I do. As for the rest, this was a storyline made in reality heaven for them. They can try to fool the public into believing they are caring human beings, rather then the cold calculating manipulators they are. As the article says, they are taking Lamar’s fight for his life and making it about them. How were they even allowed to walk into the hospital with a camera crew? May this be the beginning of a new lease on life for Lamar, and may it be the beginning of the end of the Kardashians.
I’m thinking (and could be wrong) that they may have tried to walk in with cameras and were stopped. Thus the denial that they took the cameras with them.
Don’t know but according to the article a source called it a “shit show” and said they are trying to run everything and walked in with cameras rolling. We joke a lot here about them having sold their souls, and Kris is called Lucifer’s Homegirl. But honestly they have sold their souls, they have absolutely no moral compass and as far as PMK is concerned there isn’t anything I think she wouldn’t do for attention, fame and the almighty dollar.
Daria- Lamar did not have to give the ok. The contracts he initially signed undoubted allowed them to use his name and image even after he left the show. He asked them many times to stop. They didn’t stop. That’s nowhere near giving the ok, that’s being trapped by a lousy contract. I doubt he even thought it would be a problem and was just to make sure they could air reruns ad nauseam.
Wow. I had assumed since he was no longer appearing on the show that he wouldn’t be bound by contract, so they couldn’t use anything pertaining to him directly without his consent. They really gross me out.
What about his kids? Are they there? Aren’t they concerned?So tired of the media reporting as if khloe is more important/distressed/affected by this than his poor kids!
It’s because Momager is giving gossip outlets a blow-by-blow, how Khloe will be there for him all the way through, how she kissed him, how momager is comforting her daughter, who’s flying back in. The kids nor their mother are leaking every little detail about how wonderful they are to their dad and what they said to him, etc.
His kids are there…they’ve been there since Wednesday? Thursday? Obviously they care but they are kids & I would find it very disturbing if the media started asking them questions right now. I think his aunt or the mother of his kids issued statements.
I am not asking for statements. That’s not what I said. I asked why every article makes her out to be the primary victim? The kids are almost like a footnote. I know they are there. That is why it’s weird.
if this was your friend you wouldn’t be most concerned how the estranged partner of several years is holding up. Youd think about the vulnerable kids first and foremost. There’s something wrong about the angle of these stories.
You asked “What about the kids? Are they there?” I answered. You did not ask why every article makes her out to be the primary victim… but I would imagine that every article is reporting about Khloe because that is all they have to report on. No one is relaying about the kids’ state of mind but simply that they are there.
I honestly would find it repulsive if someone relayed to the media how the kids are doing. Leave the kids alone, respect their right to privacy. Khloe and the rest are adults and if they chose to issue statements, then that is their right. But to issue statements or stories about how the kids are holding up would be intrusive. I was annoyed that TMZ took photos of the kids outside of their hotel, it’s not right.
It was what’s called a rethorical question.
I understand you want to defend them but do not put words into my mouth, as if I have suggested the kids the privacy should be exploited. What?? This was not my meaning I just find it rather odd that the narrative should be such as it is. She has not been with him for years.
the kids stood to loose a father so young , that is life shattering event, horrible. It never leaves you, believe me I know. This is my meaning. This is not about exploiting anyone. Let us discuss without adding thoughts to each others post that are not there.
Of course everyone should have privacy in this situation. But that isn’t possible when reality stars are involved. It’s the nature of the beast.
A rhetorical question? Really? LOL, how is anyone to know it was a rhetorical question…
The narrative is about Khloe because that draws the most clicks… either it’s the Kardashians making it about themselves and Khloe (as others keep suggesting) or it’s the gossip sites that are reporting about it or it’s both. That is what sells, unfortunately. Not how the kids are doing.
Yes really that was a rhetorical question. I thought it was apparent from my tone. Lots of misunderstanding here. Let’s call it a day. Have a nice day!
The Kardouches are going to milk this for ratings. I’m sure homeownership as dropped every season. This will be the boost they needed.
What a group of vampires.
Sorry. Viewership
Fun cakes- I like “home ownership” better than the correct “home viewership”. Gives me the image of people fleeing their homes in droves to get away from the TV set stuck on the E! channel…..
I think she really loves him. I think she left cause he is an addict. Speaking from experience, addicts are super hard to live with- and they are manipulative so I can understand why she acted like he was stalker-ish- they can be when you actually leave. It’s commendable that she is there for him now but she needs to let this man rehab both physically and mentally. Away from her, away from the cameras.
Yes!
She also talked about how he was cheating on her, which is what he did to his ex-partner also and wouldn’t stop. That’s why he and the mother of his children broke up.
Khloe may indeed love and care for Lamar; however I for one will believe her sincerity, as well as that of her family, if they keep this and Lamar’s recovery off of their show.
This is THE ONLY comment I’ve read that makes any damn sense. You’re skeptical, which is fair, but you haven’t condemned them for something they haven’t done yet. Keep being awesome, Monie!
Aww shucks…thanks! 🙂
Since Lamar needs months of rehab, does that mean CNN and rest of the media will give us 24 hour updates on his health, since he is such an important American icon. The Donald, Hillary and Bernie 24 hrs news cycle is looking pretty good right now.
“Lamar Odom needs months of rehabilitation& Khloe and the Kameras will be there for all of it.”
There. Fixed it for you.
I hope she truly means this and means it without all the publicity, cameras, etc. He is in no condition to tell her no – especially if he still loves her.
So a few months ago she was terrified of him and he was stalking her.. Now she’s vowed to stay by his side. I’m probably being much to harsh on her, but I would not dedicate my life to taking care of my violent stalker.
I totally agree, but just playing devil’s advocate here: if Lamar was bad enough on drugs to have had crack, heroin, and cocaine in his system all at once, and was so bad that he ODed, maybe she had a reason to be afraid of him.
I still can’t help but believe that she set him up and was sending mixed signals because she was speaking to him on the phone and then acted like he was a serial killer when he showed up at her gym, but I don’t know, there’ve been so many conflicting reports over time that I’m not sure what to think. Lamar has gone off on reporters multiple times defending the Kardashians as the only family that has ever loved him and wanted nothing in return and calling Khloe an angel and all that, but there are a lot of claims that say he felt exploited and betrayed by them.
They’re a gross family, but if someone I loved was strung out on drugs and wanted to pop up places I was at, I would probably leave also. They really didn’t need to drag him through the mud in the media though.
He defended them when he was still in the circle and not their target. Once they threw him out, they did what they do best to all the men who leave or are dumped. The started a media campaign that tarnished him, all his foibles exposed to the previously unsuspecting public whilst setting Khloe up as a saint for putting up with it all.
He tried to give his side of events eg that stalking incident where he insisted that Khloe had asked him to meet her at the gym only to find cameras rolling and her acting like he was stalking her.
The longer he was outside their circle, the more they used him to make her look good. He asked her not to air his phonecalls and her response was that he deserved the negative press for what he put her through.
It must be so horrible to think you’ve been accepted and even loved by a family and then spat out and used by that same family who are completely unrepentant about it.
No one is perfect, and Lamar, Khris H, Scott, Rob come with a mother-lode of issues, but of the men who have escaped unscathed, only Khris H (and Reggie) have a loving family on their side to pick up the pieces whereas *Lamar, Rob, a d Scott have no one.
*ps: I wonder why Lamar chose Khloe + the Kardashians over his kids? Not saying he doesn’t see his kids or doesn’t have a good relationship with them, but he seems closer to the Kardashians. I was genuinely surprised to find he had kids throughout his Kardashian episode.
I don’t recall anybody reporting that Lamar was physically abusive even under the influence. Not everybody is. He is a very large man and that can make someone feel afraid regardless, but Khloe knew him quite well. I think she was very angry with him about the cheating and has never let go of that. She probably felt a mix of real concern and vengeful anger, which would explain why she didn’t put a lid on it when he was obviously so distressed by being used on the show. If the report is correct that he really lost it on the weekend after hearing about the show, this might be a much needed wake up call for her that playing such games can have serious consequences when dealing with someone who is emotionally fragile.
Not to ber overly cynical because I haven’t read all the news and where it came from, but is there a chance his prognosis was made to sound worse than it was for this very reason. I wouldn’t put it past PMK to throw out worst case scenarios only to have a “miracle” recovery. All at the hands of the loving Khlloe Kardashian. Ratings bonanza.
I posted a similar suspicion. My skepticism kicked in about 72 hours into this health crisis, when the stories were not the same (one camp was clearly painting a far more dire picture at first).
The more dramatic the details, the more astounding the ‘recovery’ will be.
I don’t know – he had several strokes, he was on a ventilator to breathe and he was in a coma. That’s pretty much confirmed and that’s a very serious situation. They might exaggerate it if they could, but I’m not sure they needed to in this case. I do think his recovery this far was against the odds.
Thought they had placed him in a medically induced coma. My daughter’s mother-in-law had a massive heart attack and was put in a medically induced coma. This is suppose to help her heal. She never came out of hers, but the difference between her and Lamar is that she lost oxygen to her brain and according to reports Lamar did not. So also not sure what odds he had but it was reported 50-50 at one point.
As @swack points out, some accounts reference ‘medically induced’ coma. And, the brothel manager (not owner) who was on the scene clearly said that Lamar *was* breathing. That is why he did not do CPR, according to his interview and the 911 excerpt.
As for strokes, they could have been a series of mini-strokes.
It’s also interesting that Reverend Jesse was saying there were signs of improvement early on, but someone quickly got out a news flash that things were still dire.
As a medical professional I will say this – there is no way he opened his eyes and while still on the vent said to Khloe, “hey baby”. He wouldn’t be able to speak. Gesture with his hands or nod maybe, but it didn’t happen like it is being reported on some media outlets. Unless an employee is violating hippa and releasing medical information what we are hearing is leaks from the kkamp or speculation IMO.
She admittedly loves him and is technically still his wife. I would do the same in her situation. However, if Ryan Seacrest, the mother and any of those involved document this for more attention and ratings on that garbage tv show, they should all hand over their souls to Lucifer.
They already have.
The man cheated and took drugs & may have introduced SIDs to his then wife. Yet, the wife & her family gets all this criticism for being there when he finally hits rock bottom. They’re crucified no matter what they choose to do.
Exactly
How do you introduce SIDS? Are you implying he gave her a std that lead to a baby getting SIDS?
Do you mean STDs? SIDS is sudden infant death syndrome. (spellchecker problem most likely)
his infant child died of sids… is that something passed on by parents? i thought it was a random sleep related death?
I think it was just a spellcheck error and the poster intended to point out that he might have passed on STDs to Khloe, as can happen when a husband uses prostitutes or has affairs. I don’t think I’ve ever heard that he did, but it’s a real risk.
Auto correct, it was meant to be STD. Most used logic & connected the dots. 😉
In addition to the hate on the K Klan, this shows how ridiculous we all are – https://instagram.com/p/9DOYcemA0u/.
Its a very dysfunctional, toxic relationship. Lamar needs to get into counseling withOUT Kloe..
I think she genuinely loves him and always has. Maybe I’m naive but I really think it’s not about the show. If it was all about press for her, she could get that from dating other celebrities, etc like Kim. She doesn’t need Lamar for that. I think she can’t give him up because she loves him so much.
But just because she loves him doesn’t mean she wasn’t scared sometimes of his unpredictable behavior while he was under the influence. I think that is what the restraining order incident and her leaving clubs to avoid him was about. She loves him but is scared of his behavior.
Khloe has always been the caregiver of the family and likes to help the underdog. Think about her relationship with Rob. I think now that Lamar is vulnerable and helpless it makes it easier and safer for her to love him openly again. I truly feel for her.
For as much as I believe Khloe left Lamar over the drug addiction, and that she really loves(d) him, she went from “least objectionable” to “most annoying” Kardashian over the past year.
Her comments on tape about the Caitlyn transition seemed immature and incredibly self centered (my breaking point with her……claiming her issues with the transition should be considered just as much or more than Kylie/Kendall…because she had known Bruce longer @__@), she double downed on creating her own brand, and she seemed joined at the hip with Kim when is never a good sign. ANd then there was the whole “hes stalking me, I’m afraid” dynamic that was not a good thing for public consumption either. The Kardashians didn’t cause Lamar’s addiction, but they sure didn’t mind profiting from it either.
My point? Wish I could believe that she’ll be there the whole way for reasons of love and support, but candidly I fear it will be for the ratings (literally and figuratively).
PS–seriously why show a picture of him as a Dallas Maverick ? He was in Dallas for a cold minute and a half, and a horrible distraction to the team. He’s known for his Laker days….and as a Dallas Maverick fan, all I can say is we would really rather forget his short tenure in our team. It was a bad dream and thankfully it was over quickly. Don’t remind me please.
Khloe has never seemed very mature to me. She was doing things on the show with Lamar that screamed teenage fantasy, not really mature woman, and he seemed kind of embarrassed by it. I can believe that she loved him and to some degree still does, but she lacks good models in her life of mature relationships and has always had the pressure of the Kardashian “do anything for ratings no matter how stupid” attitude, mistaking constant talking about sex with maturity. This situation might be making her grow up fast.
The kidney part is worrisome. Can a person survive with kidney failure? I know there is dialysis, but that can’t go on indefinitely I don’t think. I really do wish him the best.
HELLO, I’m the only person who thinks she is so stupid! He is a drug adict, who cheated on her! WTF, they are sending the wrong message to people.
I’m happy he’s better. I hope he continues to be on the upswing and also changes his lifestyle after his hospital stay.
I really hope that Lamar will survive and regain his health and self esteem. But I have a few problems with this whole thing. I believe that Khloe loved Lamar and may still however she defines love although it may be longing for a relationship that no longer existed. When a relationship reaches a point where one person is unhappy or self-destructive it is easy for the person who wants to continue to think that if it could only go back to what it was and felt like at the beginning. But most often that is not realistic. Either both find a way to cope with a new reality together or separately.
What strikes me with this situation is that for most people who end a marriage or relationship of this intensity go through different stages .Somewhere in there comes the desire to do something to spark hope and change. Start exercising, learn a new language, move to the place you always wanted to be and ideally come out of it with a new and improved version of oneself on an emotional and spiritual level.
BUT Khloe comes from the Koven and the way to feel better, the way to get back at or get back with or to show the world no one can keep you down you add extensions and dye them blond,green-whatever, shill diet pills, wear a corset and snap endless pictures of your fat injected lips and butt. Yes-whatever the problem in this crew maybe the fix is always about the look. The road to recovery and happiness is to “improve” your looks and make money doing it. Therapy? No this is easier. Read a book ? Explore a new interest other than fall fashions? Why waste time when the way to show the world that you survived and to fix your problems is as close as your iPhone app with your trainer,assistant,hairdresser and manicurist on standby.
Of course she’ll stay by his side. She’s devoted to whatever is going to give her the most media attention.
Exactly! Nobody cared about her and that French Montana or James Harden. If she hadn’t continued to trash Lamar she wouldn’t have had an interesting storyline. I totally believe she set him up to look like a stalker outside of the gym at 6:30 am.
Uh… being a cheater, fighting the divorce, stalking her, and then overdosing in a brothal kinda fit together, dontyathink?
Nic- well, he signed the divorce papers so going to a legal brothel hardly qualifies as cheating. Visiting a brothel also has absolutely nothing to do with stalking. Odd that he chose to live elsewhere than his alleged target if he really was a stalker, and odd that she freely admitted in public that she talked with him regularly with nary a word about stalking. Then she gets a storyline “Lamar is a stalker” and acts disgusted to see his name on caller ID.
Sure, I’ll spell it out.
It’s obtuse to pretend he didn’t cheat when they were married.
He delayed signing the papers by disappearing… which is what fighting a divorce looks like.
He showed up at her gym unannounced, which is stalking behaviour.
And then he overdosed in a brothel, which is not something that people do unless they have a long history with drug abuse and extremely promiscuous behaviour.
The official story reads true to me. And I see nothing to blame Khloe for in any of it. Sometimes, people just have rough lives, self destructive tendencies, and addictive personalities. And sometimes those people have wives who love them cannot stay with them. Why is any of this hard to believe?
I find it hard to beleive he’s “okay neurologically” just because he has spoken and can answer a few questions. He had multiple strokes. I’ve never know a person to have numerous strokes and be “okay neurologically.” I hope he is, but I’m doubting it just the same.
Khloe is pretty much in a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation. If she had instead continued on with her life and signed away her power of attorney when it was discovered she still had it, most people would be calling her a callous harpy abandoning a man that she claimed to love in his time of need. If she had said she wasn’t helping him on his road to recovery, she would have been read for filth for only being there when the prognosis looked grim.
She may not know who else should have power of attorney. Certainly not his father. I wonder what happens when his 17 year old daughter turns 18. Would her next of kin status override Khloe’s, or does the initial designation stand? Or does she need to be older? What about when the signed divorce papers are processed? I could see delaying that until things are more settled, though.
With the power of attorney, though, she holds the keys to deciding who gets to visit. I’m concerned that his children’s mother (not some anonymous source) has said that his children have not been allowed to be alone with him. Does that mean a medical staffer has to be present, or that Khloe has to be present? Was it her decision, or is it hospital protocol? I don’t recall anything like this when my mother was in the hospital during her final illness.
When did she say this? Are you referring to Radar’s article?
But she does not have to “do it all”. He has a father and aunt and the mother of his two children. They could also help. They could have all taken turns at being with Lamar as they waited to see what would happen. Maybe they did that but it is being made to look as if Khloe is the only one there 24/7 at his bed side. Just saying.
Yes, usually relatives and friends take turns in such a situation rather than one person being there 24/7. That’s what we did when my mother was dying of cancer. They let family visit any time, so I came a few hours early the day she died while her sister stayed home until regular visiting hours. So I don’t know why Khloe has to be there 24/7 with no respite. Maybe she’s afraid to leave? More cynically – maybe her mother told her not to leave, lest someone convince him to change power of attorney or insurance beneficiaries or the will. Kris Jenner would likely assume people would act like that because that’s what she herself would do in the same situation…
You all know this is a TV show right? It has heroes and villains and most of it isn’t real, right? And, you know that TMZ and Radar are full of it and make up scenarios that sell clicks as well, right? It’s an industry of gossipy soap opera tactics to push advertising.
I know there’s folks with pent up anger at modern reality, TV etc. and this situation seems to be taylormade to vent it, but is there really isn’t much objective evidence that much of what is being alleged about the the K’s exploiting this situation is true.
THANK YOU!!!!! +1,000,000,000,000,000
My two cents!
If you believe she truly loves him depends if you believe his version of the stalker story or hers.
If she set him up to look like a stalker
It can hardly be argued she loves him, or at least not in a healthy way. This is a very vindictive and insensitive thing to do.
Another thing that seems off is that shortly before they split she was trying for a baby.
A few people on this thread have said she left him because of his substance abuse problems.
Again it doesn’t add up. Why would you actively try to become pregnant with a man who has these type of issues?
The truth is out there…
I wondered about that, too. If he was such an addict, why have a baby with him? But I always felt that the real problem was when his cheating became public. Any problems he had with drugs were probably no different than what she was already familiar with in her circle of friends and family. They were trying to deflect from the real PR problem, the cheating. You don’t have to be a crazed addict in order to get killed or crippled by drugs, so his use earlier also might have been in the heavy but intermittent category (which is not always due to addiction, although it can be, some people are binge alcoholics/addicts). He described himself once as emotionally weak, so he might have turned to drugs only when he couldn’t deal with the stress and been functional otherwise.
Having a baby generally increases a celebrity’s brand. For the Ks, they may angle for more endorsements, have spinoffs etc. Basically it’s another step to consider for longevity and for Khloe, another way to wrangle spotlight from Kim.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge she cheated on him as well??? And she used drugs around him knowing he had problems in his past so can we stop painting her with the Kardashianed cleaned up version of things?? She flaunted her new relationships with French and Harding all over LA and social media all the while keeping contact with Lamar.
Yes she is there now but all the things she skewered him for : the drugs,the whores are what put him in that hospital. So of course she is there playing the victim….time will tell if she stays through the detox, r eh.ab for drugs etc and if she can change her own drug use to suit his new lifestyle
I will believe Khloe cares if there’s no mention of Lamar on the show going forward. He doesn’t have to appear on the show but if they keep talking about him, it’s a storyline. Not that I watch the show but CB will report it. If Schumacher’s and Angelina’s recoveries can be totally private, it is not impossible for Lamar.
This is not to say that Khloe should with no doubt, care for him physically or emotionally. It’s fine if she chooses to leave him alone after he pulls through this and recovers through his own resources and family by his side. If she thinks this relationship is toxic for her, she has the right to leave him alone and build her own life. But if she keeps talking about it then it’s a storyline.
I’ll believe she’s serious when she walks off the show herself. She needs to get away from the Koven. They’ve admitted that they were going their separate ways before the show. That would be much healthier for her and Kourtney. Let Demon Mother and Kim go it alone in front of the kameras.
@Jade–absolutely. It does not matter whether there are cameras. The succubus colony is profiting by the mere occurrence of the event. People think because they do not have cameras in the hospital that they won’t use Lamar’s near fatal weekend as a storyline? It is already a storyline, their viewers are getting sucked back in to the story that is unfolding online, on blogs, in NY Post. They will make more money because more clicks mean more sponsorship deals for lame-a$$ products. They are already profiting from this man’s near death experience. So who cares if there are no cameras? They new story ark is unfolding in a timely fashion and the succubus queen is lapping it up and her phone is ringing off the hook.
I’m surprised she’s so invested in him. He likely won’t have a basketball career after this. Maybe she really isn’t a Kardashian afterall and really feels what she says on the show.
‘Sources’ = PMK…. TMZ = Harvey up PMK’s bootie…. Klodzilla will be there by his side = Kamera Krew from the K! Network……RUN LAMAR RUN
He will never ever be ‘healthy’ again. That ship has sailed.
I thought it was pretty common knowledge she cheated on him as well??? And she used drugs around him knowing he had problems in his past so can we stop painting her with the Kardashianed cleaned up version of things?? She flaunted her new relationships with French and Harding all over LA and social media all the while keeping contact with Lamar.

Yes…..VERY “miraculous” indeed. Something about this whole thing screams publicity stunt, as with anything dealing with a Kartrashian! I wouldn’t be surprised a bit if this was all a ratings ploy. sick bastages!
I read somewhere that Lamar’s contract signed for the show allowed his phone calls to be aired. That’s why he asked Khloe to not air them and she did it anyway. All for subject matter. She could have kept those calls private. I do believe she loves him but she loves that paycheck too. I hope Lamar can make a full recovery and have the will and mind to fight this horrible disease. I hope Khloe is learning from this that some private issues are better left off the air.
They need to quit filming and releasing Lamar’s every move. What if he doesn’t want the public to know and is just wants this all handled privately it’s enough when someone goes to the hospital. Even if Khloe truly means well all this publicity is not good for him recovering just let him be in peace. The Kardashians are so sick trying to turn this into a reality show.
To be fair i don’t think it’s the kardashians are leaking things? Could be wrong?.. anyways, Daniel Artest seems to be the one giving the recent leaks (unintentionally feeding the press, recent Fb about lamar are public as well as twitter) as he has been keeping things up to date on social media, the press just twists it a bit, so it seems .
I think maybe his friends or people around him just maybe gives the press ammo so to speak

“Everyday is a day of forward improvement.”
“Media be lying. LO isn’t out the woods but you can be more optimistic. Keep praying!”

“Really hoping I can see LO before I leave. I know he’s had a good day yesterday and last night. Docs still monitoring. Yesterday he was able to open his eyes a bit. He’s sedated heavily. They’ll up and down the dosage to monitor the brain activity which is better than they expected. He tried to bite out the tube in his throat. He also was able to squeeze his wife hand, Kim hand as well. Still not out the woods but it’s better than nothing and those crazy media reports. Also as far as the tv show camera there. It’s all false. It’s very quiet up there. If u not Fam u can’t get up there. Keep praying for progress.”
“Yes LO is alert, stable, did a little talking breathing on his own. Today is a great day. Prayer works!!!! Amen!!!!”
“The Dr’s are nixing all visitors. And that’s a great thing. LO needs to get all the rest he needs. I’m headed home today. Upbeat feeling. 🙏🏾Even if LO saw Fam and gets excited it’s not that good. Docs want him in calm state and rest up. All family in wait mode. I’m just glad he’s doing well. I can leave happy knowing LO is good.”
“Man. It was sad reading all those “RIP Lamar Odom” posts and no one knew the deal. Shame on all of you!!!!!”
“And a big salute to Khloe for really holding the fort down much respect to her.”
“Khloe is with him. Father and kids as well. Just that tho. Others are in lobby chilling.”
Best wishes to Lamar, may he stay strong.
Never mind waiting for the story to be on the show theres an hour long E-special on right now in th UK.
Lamar wouldn’t be faithful to his ex (with whom he had 3 children) and basically deserted her once he got to California. He still is in custody/financial battles with her and their kids are 17 and 13. She had his back for 10 years, but he never married her. Khloe might be a lousy partner for various reasons, but he is too. He mistreated his ex and Khloe. I understand he has demons, but he never appreciated what he had with Morales or Khloe. I don’t think he appreciates his kids enough, either. It’s too bad Morales couldn’t move on with her life. Am I wrong in saying that she never replaced Lamar as her significant other? I feel sorry for Morales and his kids. In fact, I think I feel the sorriest for Morales. All she did was love and care for Lamar. She and the kids are the true victims in all of this.
Oh yes, the Kraptrashians will try to film this and milk this for everything it is worth. I only hope that other family members step in and demand their fair share of the profits of the story, and not let the greedy, nasty Kraptrashians garner all of the profits.
And all for the Keeping Up With the Kraptrashians, no doubt. Lamar was just about to divorce that Wookie, hopefully one of his true family members will step in and say “No” or show me the money, bitch. The Kraptrashians only have money in mind, that is for certain. Ugly people.
He is back in LA, helicoptered out. Now the K family won’t have to pay travel expenses for the paps.
If she really loves him, she’ll donate a kidney. 😉
That was good Loo. 🙂
Why would you report on Lamar Odom but keep it all about his estranged wife??? Why is her name in the title? Trying to convince us about how amazing she is?
So I saw.. And heard…
“First exclusive pic of Klhoe in the hospital!!” on Inside Edition.
So much for the Devil machine and Klhoe and the disgusting Kardashians not using Lamar, huh?
#BoycottKardashians.
Enough. Smh…..
Last time I remember hearing about them was the Soul Cycle “stalking” incident. Was that ever cleared up? Was it an arranged meeting and now that he went off the deep end … will she come clean? or was the whole thing made up. Ugh, I can’t imagine wanting the same person whom “thew me under the bus” be there for me after all the damage was done. Confusing.
Scott became an alcoholic, Rob became an obese recluse, Lamar became a depressed sex addict, Bruce became a woman… Oh my.
