Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian went from appearing to have it all and a tightly maintained marriage to the favorite target of the tabloids for the last couple of months. Things started off when multiple women began to step out and accuse Lamar of having affairs with them behind Khloe’s back, and three of them would go on to sell their stories to the tabloids. However, those close to the Kardashian clan dropped a bombshell as they claimed the real issue between Khloe and Lamar is his alleged substance abuse. Although there are conflicting reports regarding what the athlete is addicted to, TMZ and other sources close to the Kardashian family are claiming the NBA Free Agent’s addiction is crack.
Lamar remained silent about the accusations up until he denied having a drug problem to the paparazzi recently, and he even claimed that despite what the media is reporting, for him “life is good.”
It’s been reported Khloe and Lamar are living apart after Khloe gave him an ultimatum to move out or go to rehab, and ultimately Lamar just ended up leaving and moving back to his bachelor pad. Although it’s been reported Khloe desperately wants to save her marriage despite Kris Jenner’s urging to move on, a new report from PEOPLE is claiming that those close to Khloe are saying it’s actually Lamar who wants out of the marriage as he’s refusing to fight for it. The source says:
“I believe Lamar is the one who wants out [of the marriage]. It’s not looking good.”
Friends of Lamar apparently thought Khloe would save him from the drug issues he’s been battling since 2001, but Khloe didn’t learn about his troubles until a couple of years ago.
Well how was she supposed to know about Lamar’s drug problem if she married him in like three weeks?
Exactly. I think she’s still holding on now for pride reasons. She doesn’t want the whole world to be able to say I told you so. But we already are.
I don’t know why Khloe just won’t file the papers herself. You cannot help someone who doesn’t want to be helped. Not to mention he’s been cheating on her for years. Just cut your losses.
She knows she needs to let go. She just doesn’t want to yet. But I’m sure mommy will be finding her a new man soon.
Well I kind of came to the conclusion he didn’t want to be married anymore when all his mistresses starting talking.
This is why you don’t rush into marriage with anyone. Had Khloe and Lamar taken their time, she could have learned about his drug issues and passed on marrying him. I think the only thing Khloe wanted was a ring and to upstage Kim finally. Now she sees it wasn’t worth it.
Agreed!!! You and me were thinking the same thing. I always felt she wanted to get married before Kim because he mom treats Kim like her favorite. It’s so sad how Kris does the other girls who are not Kim.
Kris only loves Kim more because Kim is her in younger form. Both of them are soulless creatures who only marry/date for status reasons. They only love themselves and money/fame.
Well I mean he’s on drugs. I’m pretty sure marriage is the last thing on his mind.
You never give an addict an ultimatum. He doesn’t want to be married anymore because she’s telling him he has to do something he doesn’t want to do. All addicts have to quit because they want to. Not because someone close to them said so.
This. That’s what it all comes down to. I seriously hope he gets help but he has to want to.
I’m not sure what these two are holding on to to be honest.
These two always tried too hard. “Oh Lam, Lam!” “I love my Lam, Lam!” Well Khloe, Lam Lam was smashing other women all along and smoking crack. Now get some dignity and file the paperwork already. You never had a real marriage. You may have fooled some, but most of us knew you two weren’t as happy as you seemed. Happy couples don’t have to put everything on display all the time. That’s why the main ones on Facebook all the time bragging never make it. There’s a reason for that.
Anyone with a brain won’t be surprised when these two divorce. We called it YEARS ago.
What is she waiting on? A new season of KUWTK? This marriage is over. The man slept with multiple woman and he does drugs! Get a divorce!
U guys know nothing about Marriage do u????
Thank you!
@YeaISaidIt and PRoy
So you’re going to tell Viv she knows nothing about marriage because she is advising a woman to get out of a marriage to a serial cheater and a drug user? Wow. Ok, so should the woman who gets abused by her husband stay married too? I’d LOVE to know why any woman would give that kind of advice, and especially why you two feel women should stay with abusive husbands and unfaithful husbands. Both of you remind me of the women who told my aunt NOT to divorce her husband even though he was beating the snot out of her. No one should stay in an unhealthy marriage to someone who does not want to change.
The bible also says that there are two grounds for divorce.
1. When a spouse is repeatedly immoral.
2. When they are not a believer.
In fact, this verse in particular says cheating/adultery is grounds for separation:
“They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication (adultery), and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.” – Matthew 19:7-9
Lamar has committed number one on numerous occasions. This marriage isn’t even safe for Khloe anymore. She can contract a STD from Lamar and he can end up hurting her if he’s high. It’s not uncommon for addicts to become abusive. I bet you both would feel guilty if you told a woman to stay with a cheating husband and he turned right around and gave her AIDS.
BTW, I’m a married woman. But if my husband ever puts me in a situation that is dangerous to my own well being, I’m not staying. That is not love and I don’t believe that God intended for any of us to go through that. Both of you need to stop telling women to stay in unhealthy relationships. That’s sick and wrong on so many levels. This man does not want help and he has not honored his marriage. Cheating is not of God, and neither is drug abuse. He’s not even safe enough for his kids to be around anymore. SMH.
If she wants to divorce, she has every right. And I do believe she will eventually. And she should not be judged for that when it was Lamar who broke the covenant he had to his wife.
But whatever. Kudos to Viv and every other woman who tells women not to stay in unhealthy relationships. It’s not okay period.
*standing ovation* Please let these ladies know. I saw firsthand what kind of bad comes from women feeling like they have to stay in a terrible marriage. Some of them end up dead because ladies are telling them they need to stay married! Wake up ladies, there are some situations where a woman needs to walk away! This is not back in the day anymore, we do have a right to make sure we are not putting own lives and our children’s lives in danger. So what should Khloe do when he gives her AIDS? Or some other STD that prevents her from having kids? Ugh! I’m tired of women making other women feel like they have to tolerate everything a man puts them through!
Wow, really ladies? You’re just going to put down the rest of the readers on here because you don’t agree with our opinions? Very childish and classless PRoy and YeaISaidIt. I suggest you treat people with respect and be grown, ok? BTW, I’ve been married for over 15 years. I don’t talk too much about my personal life on here because it’s just a blog where we all give our opinions on celebs, not ourselves. If you’ve never been married to someone who cheats notoriously, or someone who’s addicted to drugs, it may make you feel superior to push for that couple to stay married. I pray neither one of you ever ends up in that situation because you might eat your words. Or you can be like the women back in the day that tolerated everything their husbands put them through just to say they were married. I thought women were past that in 2013. I guess not.
@ Queen, thanks for bringing logic back into this. I’m sure it will fall on deaf ears though.
I agree with you! Time for women to get some damn backbones!
I completely agree with both Viv and Queen. Even as a girlfriend I would never knowingly stay in a situation where I am treated like that. Women really need to learn to value themselves more. I swear I constantly feel as if I were born in the wrong generation. I always look like this O_O when I hear some women my age talk about their goals or their thoughts on life. I don’t know the age of the ladies that commented, but I’m pretty sure it’s close to mine smh
I think I would have left already. You cannot make anything work with an addict who does not want help.
I say this all the time but you just cannot rush into 1) getting to know someone and 2) marriage. It’s an even bigger disaster if you do both.
If this ain’t the truth!
Where is Khloe’s dignity?! The man is not even faithful and then on top of that he’s on drugs! There is nothing else to wait on. Get that divorce, pray for him and move on for your own sanity.
Khloe is a ride or die chick for real. I would have been chucked up the deuces. Just sayin…
I only care about his kids. And he needs to get help for those kids and no one else is more important right now.
This came from People Magazine? LOL, Kris Jenner is at it again. She has People in her back pocket like she has TMZ, US Magazine and E!. I wish this family would let this man be. Smh.
Yeah I’m sure People’s source for this is Kris Jenner herself. She’s so messy.
The sick thing is Lamar’s issue has made all of them relevant again. That’s why I think Kris Jenner sent this in to People Magazine. She’s just loving all the attention Khloe is getting. I’m sure Kim is working on something to steal the spotlight back. Blonde hair didn’t work, so I’m sure that tired lie of her and Kanye getting married will be next for the thirtieth time.
This is the only thing keeping the family in the news if you really think about it.
You’re right. That’s why I think they are behind these stories. It’s got to be coming straight from that family.
You’re absolutely right. Everyone in the media knows the game. Kris Jenner’s four favorite places People Magazine, TMZ, US Magazine and E! will keep doing her dirty work because she pays good! Lamar has decided to be his own man and live on his own and they are trying to make him out to be the bad guy. He needs to walk away from this family and get some help. I have no doubt in my mind the Kardashians made his drug problems even worse! Those women ruin every man they ever come in contact with.
Khloe ain’t leaving until Kris Jenner finds her husband number two. Ever notice why the Kardashian girls don’t stay single long? It goes against the contract. Their relationships keep them in the media. Single Kim and Khloe won’t be on TMZ as much. LOL.
Well, if he wants out. He need to put down the pipe long enough to file. As long as she’s still the wife, she still entitled to his money. So, the longer they’re married, the longer he pays.
Call me crazy but I think these two will work it out. I think they really do love each other. #shrugs
Run away Lamar as fast as you can!
This marriage has been over. Khloe just doesn’t want to come to terms with that. That’s understandable because I know it hurts.
I honestly feel more bad for Lamar than Khloe. I hope he ends up okay. I could care less what happens to her really.
Khloe get that druggie out of your life!!!! regardless of what people say about you, nothing worst than a druggie and they don’t care who they smash let him tell his story walking before you get HIV… besides he ain’t nothin to look at……………
Umm do you guys remember one of the episodes when Lamar didn’t wanna have any type of intimacy with kloe…she tried everything possible and he just wanted to sleep…..well maybe there you go he probably loss interest in her….who knwos
