Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian are having marital issues, you guys. He went on a binge and disappeared for a few days, and while details are scarce, we have a somewhat good idea of the bottom line: Lamar Odom is seriously into drugs (you guys) and it’s probably crack. No but really, sorry if I sound flippant, I don’t mean to. This shit sucks. The latest update, from TMZ is,
Sources connected to a Westin hotel in Memphis tell TMZ … in March of 2012, shortly before Lamar was cut from the Mavs, he stayed in one of the guest rooms while his team was in town playing the Grizzlies.
Our sources say when Lamar left, hotel employees found major carpet damage … including quarter-sized burn marks. The damage was so bad, the hotel had to replace the carpeting in the room.
Our sources say hotel employees also found white powder on the desk blotter and the room reeked of noxious smoke. Our sources say it was obvious there was serious drug use going on in the hotel room.
The Westin is one of numerous hotels where NBA players stay when they’re on the road. TMZ has contacted a number of these hotels in various cities. We’ve learned from several hotel employees … they had complained about the state of the rooms when Lamar left — similar to what happened in Memphis — and this was while he was playing for the Lakers.
Our sources say no one on the Mavs knew Lamar was a substance abuser while he was on the team, but everyone knew something was seriously wrong with him.
We’re told that during at least part of the time he was playing for the Mavs, Lamar was smoking Oxycontin and cocaine.
Odom’s problems were so severe, he was cut from the Mavs mid-season and paid in full just so he would go away.
TMZ broke the story … the drug use escalated to crack — and we’re told Lamar’s level of crack use is now alarming and life-threatening.
I mean that’s just awful. And that’s not a judgement thing, I mean, being addicted to crack is an awful thing, for everyone. I honestly hope that he gets the treatment he needs.
This shit can kill you.
Sidenote: how the f-ck do you smoke Oxycontin??
You could crush Oxycontin into powder and put it in a pipe. You can smoke crack rocks. Why not Oxycontin?
Uhh, ‘complained about the state of the rooms’, sp they want people NOT to stay in their hotel? ;-0 If I were charging mad amounts of money for my hotel rooms, I’d just change the damn carpet and shut up about it..;) Those guys aren’t there for a school field trip, it’s their lives and careers on the line; no idea how they can’t pick the right place to stay @
