ESPN The Magazine was able to speak to workers at the brothel that Lamar Odom was found unconscious at and confirm many of the rumors that had swirled about that weekend.
One in particular being that a re-run with Keeping Up With the Kardashian upset Odom greatly.
Moore was off Monday. She heard later that he stayed in his room most of the day and didn’t eat as much as he had the first two days. When she asked her staff why, she was told he’d gotten upset after seeing a re-run of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” on Sunday night. Ryder doesn’t recall watching the episode with him, but said he could have watched it alone, when she wasn’t with him. A little before midnight, Odom asked Ryder and Monica for some late-night snacks. He wanted to make caramel apples, so the women went to a Walmart about 20 minutes away. When they returned, he was on the bed, snoring loudly. They decided to let him sleep.
Ryder said she had her weekly visit to the doctor on Tuesday morning. Ryder said that when she and Monica entered the room around 3 that afternoon, it was clear something was wrong.
“It scared me to death,” said Hunter, a brothel manager whose voice can be heard on the frantic 911 call. “The fluid that was coming out of his nose and his mouth and the sounds he was making, it was clear we had a real emergency in our hands.”
It could have been a coincidence or it could have been the breaking point. Odom had not been portrayed in the best light on this season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. There is also some speculation that the Kardashians (including Khloe) set him up to look like a stalker when he met her at a fitness center. Odom says it was Khloe who set up the meet, but Khloe portrayed it as if he was following her around.
One would hope that Khloe Kardashian understands now, while her family can’t be blamed for everything that has gone wrong in Odom’s life, he needs to be kept far away from the Kardashians spotlight and TV cameras.
If she really loves him, she will do right by him.
