Lamar Odom is getting very defensive! Hours after media outlets bashed the former NBA star for ambushing his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian, at her early morning SoulCycle workout in Beverly Hills on Wednesday, the 35-year-old athlete is defending his actions.
In a video obtained by TMZ, an upset and clearly emotional Odom denied harassing the reality star, claiming that the two reportedly had prearranged plans to met up at her SoulCycle class. Odom is also calling out his ex for not setting the record straight about the alleged ambush.
"I am not, not, not the person that they're trying to make me out to be - whoever's doing it," he told the cameraman. "I live in Las Vegas. So was there an address or a place given, or I just guessed right? Did I just guess right where this girl [might] be? I know Khloe, so how would you think I ended up there?"
"I would think there was some communication between you two," the cameraman replied to Odom's outburst.
"It's hard for me to keep my composure," Odom continued. "To everyone who knows and supports me I'm sorry but the dog has to fight back. [They say] I'm a womanizer, a drug addict. It's awful."
The former Lakers star followed up his rant by promising to air the couple's dirty laundry if a similar incident ever occurs again. He later added, "Nobody got followed, nobody got hassled, nobody got harassed, nobody got grabbed on, none of that. Probably the most hurtful part, somebody should be calling up saying, 'Hell no that didn't happen, that's ridiculous, that's crazy. I don't know. It's just not the truth.'"
Odom continues his rant in a second video, explaining that unlike his ex-wife, he does not seek out media attention.
"I don't Twitter, I don't Instagram," Odom said. "Me and that girl fell in love. That's our business. If we want to give you it, if we want to let you in our house we can let you in, and f--king, we can kick you out at the same time."
Kardashian, who is currently dating NBA player James Harden after ending her relationship with rapper French Montana, filed for divorce from the two-time NBA champion in December 2013. Their divorce was finalized last month and the two are waiting for a judge to sign the papers.
