Lamar Odom is reportedly “not playing fair” with Khloe Kardashian.
According to a new report, Odom blames the 32-year-old Keeping Up With the Kardashians star, who filed for divorce in May, for his ongoing troubles, which reportedly include an addiction to drugs.
“[Lamar Odom]’s really acting the victim with her, blaming their split on all his problems,” an insider told Radar Online on September 21. “Khloe rarely gets off the phone from him without being in tears.”

Khloe Kardashian did her best to help Lamar Odom overcome his struggles after he suffered a drug overdose in October of last year, but by the spring, Odom had reportedly returned to alcohol and drugs. In turn, Kardashian chose to end their marriage and their friendship.
“[Lamar Odom]’s even told her he’ll die if she leaves him, which is horrible for her to hear,” continued the insider. “She’s done so much for him and then some, but it’s never enough – and the fact he persists with his partying has left her with no choice.”
Last October, upon hearing the news of Lamar Odom’s overdose, Kardashian immediately boarded a private jet and flew to his side to be with him during what was expected to be his final hours. Days later, Lamar Odom surprised doctors when, after days of organ failure, he awoke from a coma and began to communicate.
Although Lamar Odom’s recovery was far from speedy, Kardashian dedicated herself to supporting the former NBA pro, and after he was transferred to Los Angeles in late October, she was by his side. She even rented him a home near her and her family after he was released from the hospital in January. Still, as the Radar Online source pointed out, Lamar Odom doesn’t appear to be at all appreciative, and his antics are taking a toll on Kardashian.
“Everyone’s telling Khloe to block [Lamar Odom]’s number, but she says she can’t do that to him because if something happened, she’d never forgive herself,” explained the insider. But the source added, “She just can’t keep taking responsibility for his problems.”

Lamar Odom is currently living in New York City where his kids, daughter Destiny and son Lamar Jr., live with their mother, Liza Morales. Meanwhile, Kardashian and her new boyfriend, Tristan Thompson, have been enjoying trips to Mexico and Miami, much to Odom’s alleged dismay.
“[Lamar Odom] wouldn’t be so pissed about Khloe dating life if she dated outside the NBA,” an insider revealed to Hollywood Life last week. “He feels like she’s hooking up with dudes in the league to f**k with him and his mental state. When he saw pics of them together he was hurt.”
“He still very much loves Khloe,” the insider continued. “He would be back with her in a heartbeat if she’d chill out and stop trying to control every aspect of his life.”
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson were first spotted with one another in August at a nightclub in Los Angeles. Then, weeks later, after house hunting with a couple of their friends, they traveled to Mexico where they were photographed riding jet skis and enjoying their hotel pool before flying to Miami for even more fun in the sun.
