Did Kardashian fame make Lamar Odom turn to drugs? A source close to the athlete told Hollyscoop that Odom's alleged drug use may have stemmed from the family reality show, "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."
According to the source, he has always smoked weed but started doing more hardcore drugs throughout his marriage to Khloe Kardashian.
"Lamar got into deep drugs because he couldn't handle the pressure of celebrity and the [Kardashian reality] show on top of all the stress he's already got, like his troubled past that always haunts him, his father's addiction," the source said. "He started doing pills and now it's led to other drugs and gotten worse this past year."
According to TMZ, Odom has a serious crack cocaine addiction and did a secret stint in rehab but bailed after only one day. He then tried to get help through an outpatient program but failed to attend his first meeting with a drug counselor.
It has been reported that Kardashian has kicked Odom out of their house. TMZ reports she gave him an ultimatum and told him that he either needed to get better or the marriage was over. The basketball player has been staying at their downtown Los Angeles apartment and so far it doesn't seem like he is trying to get professional help for his alleged addiction. When TMZ caught up with the athlete Odom denied that he had a drug problem saying that he was "happy" and his marriage to the reality star was fine.
Hollyscoop's source claims Kardashian and Odom are not doing fine and have been living completely separate lives. The source revealed that the announcement of a split should be happening soon.
"Khloe has checked out the marriage, a divorce should be happening soon, there is no other option at this point," the source said. "Khloe says she didn't sign up to marry a crack head."
