Lamar Odom reportedly feels that Keeping Up With the Kardashians and the Kardashian family had something to do with his downward spiral.
According to a new report, Lamar Odom is failing to take any responsibility for his 2015 drug overdose and instead blames Khloe Kardashian and her family for his ongoing struggles.
“[Lamar Odom] said that he was so happy playing for the Lakers and playing with Kobe and his life started to fall apart after he met Khloe,” a source revealed to Radar Online on April 18. “When he met her and started appearing on all of Kris Jenner’s reality shows, that’s when he started to go off the rails.”

Lamar Odom married Kardashian in 2009 and throughout their relationship, the couple appeared together on Keeping Up With the Kardashians , as well as their own spinoff series, Khloe & Lamar , which aired for two seasons on the E! Network.
“[Lamar Odom] blames Khloe and her family. Being on the shows was the beginning of his terrible times,” the source said.
In 2013, amid his marriage to Kardashian, Lamar Odom began making headlines for his alleged drug use and multiple affairs, and in December of that year, Kardashian filed for divorce. However, despite the couple parting ways, they remained in touch on and off, and when Lamar Odom suffered an overdose after partying at a legal brothel in Nevada, Kardashian immediately flew into town to be by his side.
For days after his overdose, Lamar Odom remained in a coma, and many believed he would not make it. Then, miraculously, the former NBA star woke up and was transported from a hospital in Las Vegas to a hospital in Los Angeles, where he would be closer to Khloe Kardashian and her family. Once transported, Lamar Odom remained hospitalized for three months before his January release.
While many believed Lamar Odom’s overdose would serve as a wake up call, it reportedly hasn’t — at all. Not only is Lamar Odom placing the blame on others, he has yet to own up to his own mistakes.
“[Lamar Odom] ignores the fact that he is responsible for his own actions,” the source told Radar . “But his life became a mess after Khloe, that’s undeniable.”

In addition to Lamar Odom reportedly failing to take responsibility for his own overdose, he has been rumored to have returned to his partying ways after a photo surfaced of him at a bar around Easter.
In response to the rumors , Lamar Odom spoke to Entertainment Tonight , and he didn’t exactly deny that he was drinking again.
“I mean, it gets tough, especially if so much gets speculated,” Lamar Odom said of photos of him out at a bar. “Only a few people know the truth, and I just keep that close to my heart.”
Despite Kardashian’s divorce filing in 2013, she and Lamar Odom have remained married, and at the end of last year, they filed a petition to have their request for divorce thrown out. However, Kardashian is expected to eventually cut ties with Odom and has been linked to several men since their split years ago, but so far, there doesn’t appear to be any firm confirmation of when she will do so.
