Lamar Odom has been at the center of gossip for weeks now after going on alleged drug binges and having affairs with multiple women. He chose to remain silent on any of the issues being talked about in the media, until today. Lamar’s father, Joe Odom, did an interview as a way to reach out to his son to get him the help he desperately needs. In the interview, he slammed the Kardashian family and said that his son would be better off without them, including wife Khloe. Here is what he said in the interview:
“Someone’s got to speak out, I’ve got to do something about this. It’s simple. They brought him down. He would be better off without them. Let him go and get his life together. I think the best thing for him would be to have a clean break, divorce Khloe and as a single man try and get his life back together…
The mother has been talking a lot of trash about my son, saying he’s on drugs and stuff like that. She’s got something against my son, something against my family. Kris Jenner is very negative. She’s an evil b*tch. She doesn’t care about Lamar, she just cares about their image and money…
I blame Kris in particular, she’s been through a lot of stuff herself. She’s no Cinderella. I can’t really say if the Kardashians are doing drugs, but my son would never use hard drugs. I can’t pinpoint right now who’s giving it him, but I’m going to investigate. The Kardashians haven’t been a good influence on my son.
They don’t give a f*ck about my son. It’s more about the damage they do to the Kardashian brand. They brought him down. He’d be better off without them. Let him go, get his life together. I wish he had never got married to Khloe to be honest. She’s controlling. Those Kardashian women all are. You get married they think they wear the pants. You just bring them your whole paycheck, that’s how it works… I saw her totally differently when I heard the way she talked privately. It isn’t pleasant. In public she’s nice, but if you see her personally you see the real person come out of her. The mother’s like that too. The whole family, they put up an act. They haven’t been a good influence on my son. It’s been the curse of his life… I heard Kim say they don’t have crackheads in their family. That pissed me off. Look at where she came from. We don’t want porno stars in our family. They’ve got to get him treatment. Nobody’s perfect. I would like him to get his act together. If something’s wrong he’s got to man up and talk about what’s going on with him.”
Not taking too kindly to his absentee father’s attack on his “family”, Lamar fired back for the first time in weeks. He attacked his father for never being there for him and passing on his demons to him. Here is Lamar’s response:
Won’t continue 2 speak on this but I have got 2 let this out real quick. I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of shit. He wasn’t there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me. For the first time since they left, came a blessing of a FAMILY that I married into. FAMILY. That man wasn’t even invited to my wedding. He has never met my mother in law and some of my other family. How can a man who has NOT once called me to check on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own “son”. He is my downfall! His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me. He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this! This goes to out to everyone!
There is a lot of bad blood between this two and putting it out in the public was probably the worst idea. Odom is clearly struggling with something and needs help privately. While it is understandable why his father believes the Kardashians are only making things worse, he probably should have picked up a phone. However, if this lead to Lamar getting help, then it was worth it.
