Lamar Odom had allegedly filled a hole in Rob Kardashian’s life that kept him from spiraling out of control. Now that the basketball star has been ejected from the family and the house after cheating on Khloe, Rob seems to have simply stopped caring about anything and keeps to himself.
An anonymous source has stated that after Odom had left the family, Rob went into isolation, but not before turning to excessive partying and weight gain.
Why would the loss of the “bromance” be such a big deterrent to the Kardashian brother’s happiness?
Rob Kardashian had been devastated by the loss of their father to cancer . After his sister Khloe had married the basketball star, Rob had allegedly found someone he could relate to, a kind of father figure. Lamar Odom had inspired Rob to get into shape and even start his own business, and they were always hanging out. They were best friends, and Rob idolized the basketball star.
After Khloe Kardashian had discovered that Odom had been cheating on her and proceeded to kick him out and begin the divorce process, it appeared her brother’s deep depression had been triggered. Rob had allegedly lost his “rock” and seemed to give up. The basketball star’s drug use appears to have been an influence on the depressed Kardashian, but not as much as his mere lack of presence in Rob’s life.
One thing that seems to upset Rob more than anything right now is how the family keeps talking about his weight issues on Keeping Up with The Kardashians . He is reportedly growing more isolated and according to the anonymous source, Odom was the key to everything.
Initially, when Khloe had started noticing Lamar Odom’s deviant behavior, they had begun fighting, and it allegedly began to unravel Rob’s reality. To him it might have felt like his parents were fighting, and when Odom just vanished out of his life, that was what allegedly sent Rob on a downward spiral, having lost another father figure.

The anonymous source said Rob still talks to his sister:
“It’s embarrassing enough, so much so that he’s just isolating himself, especially from the family. He still talks to Khloe, but he just doesn’t spend as much time with her because he wants to isolate himself.”
Who is this anonymous inside source? We don’t know, but it seems they’ve spoken to a few celebrity news sites.
Will Rob Kardashian recover from this alleged blow to his feelings or could he end up being the next Kardashian to be harassed by the tabloids over his alleged “bromance” with Lamar Odom?
