Lamar Odom Fired From ‘Keeping Up With The Kardashians’ Over Partying Ways

Lamar Odom has allegedly been fired from Keeping Up with the Kardashians due to his reported recent downward spiral and strained relationship with estranged wife Khloe Kardashian.
According to reports, Khloe and Kris Jenner have now had enough of Odom after he recently returned to his unhealthy ways, and they have resorted to banning him from the E! reality show.
An insider alleged to Radar Online that Kris, who serves as manager for the Kardashian and Jenner clan, has decided not to renew Odom’s contract to continue filming the family for further seasons of the E! reality show.
The source claimed that for the past season of the show, Lamar appeared “on a per-diem basis.” However, according to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians insider, Jenner is now “not offering Lamar any type of contract for next season or any season thereafter.”
“Instead of using the money that he made from filming last season to better himself, he used to keep up his party lifestyle,” a source told the site. “Everyone was hoping that he would pull through this and become a different person, but he has not.”
And now it sounds like the entire Kardashian family, including Lamar’s estranged wife Khloe, who he is currently in the process of divorcing, are done with Odom for good.
“They all feel that he has really disgraced all of them and their show,” the source claimed of how the Kardashian clan really feel about Odom. “The whole family is just done with [Lamar].”
Reports that Lamar Odom has been fired from Keeping Up with the Kardashians come amid claims that Kris Jenner had allegedly been encouraging Khloe Kardashian to cut all ties with her soon-to-be former husband, who she married following a whirlwind romance in 2009, for some time now.
A Kardashian insider told Hollywood Life earlier this week that Jenner has been telling Khloe to cut off contact with Lamar, and Odom’s recent second downward spiral was the last straw for the Kardashian matriarch.
According to a source, Jenner was “encouraging Khloe to stay away from Lamar at all costs” because “she knows how vulnerable Khloe is around Lamar and doesn’t want to see her get hurt over and over again by someone who is emotionally unavailable.”
The insider also admitted to the site that Kris was worried that if Kardashian continues spending time with Odom, despite their impending divorce, the two could potentially reconcile.
And it sounds like Khloe has taken her mom’s advice about Odom to heart.
“Khloe has detached herself in every possible way from him,” a Kardashian insider recently told Radar Online of how the reality star has decided to end things once and for all with Odom. “She does not want to carry the burden when he dies.”
“Lamar has chosen drugs and alcohol over Khloe and her family,” the Odom source continued, “and there is nothing that anyone can do to stop him. It is just sad.”
What do you think of Kris Jenner’s alleged decision to fire Lamar Odom from appearing on future episodes of Keeping Up with the Kardashians?
