Lamar Odom was doing cocaine at another woman’s house during his marriage to Khloe Kardashian when he heard a voice around the corner call him “Lammy.” It was Kris Jenner.
Six SUVs pulled up outside the house, and Lamar Odom was taken straight to San Diego, “no questions asked.”
He shared the story on the podcast Nothing’s Off The Table with Louis Ruggiero, going back to the depths of his addiction during his marriage to Khloe Kardashian. He’d gone to Big Bear with a woman he knew, getting high the whole drive up. When the woman got scared, she called Khloe and told her where they were.
The two ended up at the woman’s house, where Odom kept using. Then he saw a head come around the corner. “The lady says, ‘Lammy,’ and it was their mother,” he said. “I remember I was f**ked up.”
Odom, 46, married Khloe in 2009 after knowing her just 30 days. He was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel in 2015 following a near-fatal overdose, and their divorce was finalized in December 2016.
Now he says he’s thankful the family stepped in. “I’m grateful for that family for trying to take care of me as best as they can,” he said.
