Lamar Odom should be probably more grateful. He beat death probably multiple times. He beat death. Yeah, this is what you're doing. You rail against the Kardashians if you want, the one sister saved his life. He helped save his life, was there for him. Lamar Odom tries to [00:00:21] downplay Khloe Kardashian saving his life. Here's what he said during the recent interview. So in the documentary you said something about you like the lifestyle. Was there love there too or was it just the lifestyle? No, was definitely a lot of love there. We decided to get married [00:00:36] after 30 days and their mother was able to put a beautiful wedding together and I don't regret it. No, she and I mean, I have to say after watching this documentary, she stood by your side. She saved your life. Do you feel that way? In some ways, God saved my life. [00:00:53] oh My Lord saved my life. Yeah, honestly to put it in perspective you talked about that night and that picture that we just saw in Vegas you suffered 12 strokes Six heart attacks. Yeah, you were in a coma for three days in the in the documentary It talks about the fact [00:01:11] that Chloe stepped in Tried to keep everybody out so that you could just get better and you know She stayed by your side for four months for four months. Yeah after filing for divorce. Yeah When you look back on that time, mean, I have to say a lot of us were saying, know [00:01:26] what, Chloe, she wrote hard for you. Yeah, she did. She took care of me. um Begaugh took care of me the most. She revealed that your dad wanted to take you off life support. Yeah, I was knocked out and sleep at that time. But if you know Joe Odom, I don't think that's [00:01:44] something that would ever come out of his mouth. You weren't asleep, you were in a coma for three days. And Khloe Kardashian was ride or die. She wrote for you and you didn't die. And I get it. Then she left, it's over and you can't get back in. And now, it's time [00:02:05] to minimize the woman's sacrifice. We got it. Omar Odom is back in the hot seat online and this time it all revolves around his comments about his ex-wife Khloe Kardashian. Even the dig about the mom put on a beautiful wedding. Come on. And his own father, Chloe had already [00:02:22] filed for divorce from Lamar when he overdosed on cocaine, alcohol, cannabis, and a Las Vegas brothel October 13, 2015, as well as ruptured kidneys, collapsed lung. Lamar suffered six heart attacks, as you heard, 12 strokes, in a coma, three days. When Lamar eventually woke [00:02:39] up, it was Chloe who remained by his side throughout his four-month recovery, helping him learn how to walk and talk again. This is after Odom had multiple affairs during their marriage. This is all depicted in the Netflix documentary. Now in the doc, Kardashian looked back on the [00:02:57] relationship and the part she played by unintentionally enabling Odum while he was dealing with his drug abuse in an effort to protect him. In particular, she detailed how she would clean up behind him in hotel rooms, specifically getting rid of spoons and tin foil to keep the cleaning [00:03:12] staff from selling a story and discovering his issues. She also said that she'd often look for him in alleys and motels, knowing that he was somewhere getting high. I was such an enabler without knowing I was an enabler, she said. Kardashian also cited his family trauma as [00:03:30] a form of rationale for his behavior and explained that she felt she had a responsibility to try to fix him and love him enough so he'd choose differently. I remember just keeping all these secrets and feeling horrible about myself, she said. She later added, I was fighting every [00:03:45] single day either to protect him. to not let him get caught, which sounds insane. I didn't sleep for a year. August 2013, Kardashian staged an intervention with Odom, giving him the ultimatum. He had to choose his addiction or his marriage, even though she wasn't ready to end the relationship. [00:04:05] However, based off encouragement from her friends, she was confident that given the high stakes, it would be enough for the basketball star to wake up and get his act together. Sadly, that wasn't the case. I was advised to do this intervention and the interventionist said, you're gonna [00:04:21] go in there and tell him you need to go to rehab. And if you don't stay for a three month program, you're gonna say you're getting a divorce. Kardashian explained in the doc. She later said everyone around me was like, he'll never say he wants a divorce. We do the intervention. I give my [00:04:41] speech. And he was like, okay. I wanted my passport and yeah, let's get the effing divorce. I was looking around like, wait, wait, I don't want the divorce. You guys, interventionists, [00:05:00] the interventionists told me I have to say this. Lamar left immediately, was like, we're getting the effing divorce and I'm never coming back here again. Kardashian claims that although she and the former NBA star were in the middle of a divorce at the time, she quickly went [00:05:16] to be by his side at the hospital because they were still legally married and she still cared for his well-being. However, once she arrived, she claimed, Odom's now late father Joe, who was a longtime heroin addict who left him when he was younger, had popped back into the picture [00:05:33] and was present there as well. Her recollection of that time Kardashian claimed to Odum's dad was trying to take him off of life support and that she had to step in and let him know that she would make medical decisions on his behalf. What's more, the reality TV star said that [00:05:51] after giving him a pair of Nike shoes and $100, Joe left and never came back. After all this, she would think this traumatic event would bring Kardashian Odom closer, but sadly that wasn't the case. Determined to see him through betterment, Kardashian shared that four months after he [00:06:09] got out of the hospital, she rented a home with a caregiver and a chef in order to help him ease back into his regular life. However, when she randomly decided to visit him and check on his progress, she caught him in the act of smoking crack once again. Once you know the [00:06:26] smell of crack, the most identifiable disgusting smell, and there's nothing you can confuse it with. And I remember stopping by the house and I smelled crack. He was in the bedroom, sitting on the edge of the bed smoking crack. And I just punched him in the face, hard ashing [00:06:41] explain. That proved to be her breaking point with her expressing to the now disgraceful player how frustrated and betrayed she felt in that moment. I just put my life on hold to f and take care of you. How did you get this? You don't have a phone, you can't talk. You [00:07:00] were called her yelling at the time of the doc. Well, lo and behold, he had a phone. He was better than I knew. He was playing me so I can continue this lifestyle for him. I said by Monday you need out of this house, I'm done. I'm not paying for a thing. And I never want [00:07:18] to speak to you again. Folks online were quick to call out the former NBA player for casting down on Kardashian essentially. making her out to be a liar and instead choosing to believe his father. I love Lamar, but I need him to be honest. Chloe wouldn't lie about what his [00:07:33] dad said. He exhibited the same behavior on their show, said another. Another person expressed, what reason would Chloe have to lie against his dad? This man pisses me off, man. One other user also noted, after everything she's done, listen to how he talks about her. Even [00:07:55] going as far as suggesting she's a liar. Men don't deserve anything, especially not your sacrifices. Women, stop doing that. A guy has no remorse, no sincere apology, nothing at all. So there's some people who can't get past the K word, Kardashian, and think that, well, [00:08:17] they're just always out for attention. But if you took the name out of it and just said, and now don't take the name out of it, this woman did this and did the right thing and sacrifice for this man who yes has a disease and addiction, but is also an absolute clown. [00:08:33] A joke and a shell of integrity. That's what he is. And this is a sick story. And may his father rest in peace, but he absolutely did exactly what Khloe Kardashian said he did. [00:08:50] And the fact that Lamar Odom, who's out peddling whatever he's peddling, And has something now because Khloe Kardashian preserved it, including his life, can't even bring himself and is hiding behind God. Who did save him? That's what you believe you believe. His stomach turning to [00:09:08] me, real sicko behavior. Your turn. Yeah, I haven't watched the documentary yet, but I am familiar enough with the story. I was going to say that I don't actually have strong feelings about the Kardashians, but I do, of course I do. I mean, I'm not a fan of theirs, I don't [00:09:27] watch their show. I do think society will generally be better once they're finally irrelevant, if and when that ever happens. They're obviously billionaires who are involved with some very questionable people, with some very questionable things. Maybe they stole Britney Spears' money, [00:09:43] etc, etc. But I think of all of them, Chloe is probably not the worst one. I do, yeah, I do feel bad for her in this very particular context. She does seem like someone who really did put her life on hold for this man. And I don't know this firsthand, but anyone can [00:10:02] imagine that dealing with and loving an addict is not for the faint of heart. Even if you've just seen movies about it. You can see that they are very manipulative people. Maybe they didn't start off that way, but that is just a symptom of addiction. And it can be very, [00:10:18] very difficult to deal with. Lamar Odom is now healed and better, but perhaps he has more healing to do outside of his physical body. Maybe there's still some wounds there that he needs to address and deal with. If he can't, whatever happened between him and Khloe, I [00:10:35] don't really know the details of that and I'm not interested to know. But whatever did happen, credit where it's due should still be given, right? She did stay by your side during all of that. She did prevent someone from pulling the plug on you, all of these things. And [00:10:50] yeah, I don't see why she would lie about something like that, especially when there's enough material. Even without that little tidbit of information, if she wanted to talk and go get attention from the press over all of this, she could still do that, right? It's already a story, it's [00:11:06] already a documentary. That one little tidbit isn't significant enough for her to just make that up. And again, this is Chloe we're talking about. She rarely is making headlines for things. Of all the Kardashian-Jenner, she's not the one who's always out there at events grabbing [00:11:25] headlines, walking on red carpets. She's not that one. So she did this and she wanted to have a family. I think she did love this person. And I'm not going to take something from someone when they did actually do something or try to do something good for somebody else. [00:11:42] this is a crazy take from Lamar Odom. And it's weird that he's going around publicly saying this when everyone saw what was happening. We were more elusive through that whole time than he was. So everybody else knows better what was going on than he did during that time. [00:11:58] Chloe. Perhaps it's similar to her sisters in one way and you can tell when they're walking away from you. But other than that, she seems to be a truth teller and ride or die. I still [00:12:17] remember the episode where Kim came over and Lamar said something to her and she instantly was in confessional saying Lamar has a cavity, he smells breath. know. It was crazy times, crazy show, crazy marriage, and crazy life and death That's been interesting. I do want to [00:12:36] clarify something that I said though. I don't mean to imply that we know more about his situation than he does. But it's still just like, why wouldn't he listen to what she's telling him in this particular instance? I just want to clarify that. His story, you're right. You [00:12:52] said it correctly, and she has the right. I think, because normally I say, do you want to even speak on this? Why are you doing the documentary? But you know what? Then I thought about it's her story too. He's the principal. She's not the main character. She is definitely a recurring guest star.
