    Dang. This sounds like the movie Blind Side which I was just watching last night before I heard about Lamar.

    The worst thing you could do is set this 'standard' in judging people. People are different, there are many people that grew up in worst circumstances that turn out alrite if not even better.

    I guess it depends. He was financially successful but alright he wasn't given his current situation.

    Sorry, you're just far from the first person I've seen whose first reaction was to direct criticism towards TMZ.

    There are many screwed up things about this situation... anything having to do with TMZ doesn't make the top 10.

    Lamar Odom lost it Sunday ... and the trigger was an episode of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians."
    Sources at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch South tell us, Lamar seemed normal during his stay until he got a call from someone about the show. Some of the women who were around Lamar say he became irate, complaining about the way he had just been portrayed on the show.
    As for what was on the show ... Khloe got 2 calls from Lamar. When she got off the phone Kim criticized Khloe for being flirty with Lamar. In another clip, Lamar called Khloe to tell her that his good friend Jamie had died. When she got off the phone she worried Lamar might spin out of control. And in another scene Khloe fled a club after she heard Lamar was trying to get in.
    We're told Lamar remained upset until he was found unconscious.
    Up until getting the call, people at the Ranch say Lamar was "chill." There was no evidence he had been high on drugs or alcohol. We're told when he arrived Saturday, he ordered a single bottle of cognac and when he was found unconscious a third of the bottle was left.
    As we reported, people at the Ranch say Lamar had been using an herbal substitute for Viagra. Someone at the Ranch who was around Lamar tells us he was popping 8 to 10 herbal Viagras at a time. There are perils to the drug -- it can cause dangerously low blood pressure and it can restrict blood flow to vital organs.
    Another source at the ranch says Lamar was taking the actual Viagra drug from a prescription bottle.

    ^ When reality TV goes too far. Kardashians make me sick - you've been in the limelight long enough, turn the cameras off and stop airing your personal lives which is now hurting others.

    I really don't see how you can possibly blame them filming their reality show.

    Bottom line...Lamar had his own demons.

    Simply putting the blame on Khloe or the Kardashians is being really unfair to an unfortunate situation.

    This, it's extremely disgusting if true. These trashy sluts with no talent should make no money, hate how society and brainless teens pump money into these kind of people.

    It's well known he was struggling with his life, why does the show need to trash on him years after their relationship? The producers are probably more to blame, but the Kardashians exactly know what's in the show and what to do to increase ratings.

    There was a show the other day on the OJ case from the 90's that Kris Jenner was in frequently. Had to shake my head when Kris recanted the time when she was there when Nicole who was only 17 met a married OJ. Later, OJ talked Kris in to calling Nicole's parents house to get Nicole to come to the phone. Kris Jenner had no idea even 20 years later how f upped that was.

    The Kardashian family is garbage.

    pretty crazy, I've actually met Lamar once at a hotel in San Diego when thet Lakers had training camp here. Seemed like a pretty chill dude although my friend who worked at the hotel said he would camp out in his car at night and smoke weed all night and hit up the breakfast buffet in the morning.

    This is literally what he wanted.... if it was accidental then yeah I would get it. But he was on a roll with drugs and other vices, so why feel sorry for him.

    Flame me I give about the same f***s as he did about living.
