POSTED BY WLAS August 27th, 2013 0 COMMENTS
TMZ is reporting that Lamar Odom has been missing for three days. According to the site, Khloe Kardashian’s husband vanished suddenly and his family believes he may be on a drug binge. Allegedly, no one has been able to contact him for nearly 72 hours.
TMZ first reported that multiple sources familiar with the situation said 33 year old Odom has been facing a drug problem for two years. Reportedly, he went to a rehab facility in San Diego last August, but left after only three weeks. The site also reports that Odom stayed clean once he left treatment and was able to play well for the Los Angeles Clippers this past season. But once the season was over, insiders say he slipped back into using “hardcore recreational drugs.”
Sources tell TMZ that within the last few days Odom’s family tried to stage an intervention, but he wouldn’t have it. On Wednesday 29 year old Kardashian allegedly kicked him out of the house and he hasn’t been seen since. Kardashian has been struggling to help Odom for a long time, keeping his drug problem a secret for almost two year in her attempt to salvage thier marriage.
“Lamar genuinely doesn’t think he has a problem -– it’s all ‘work hard then party hard’ with him until it goes off the rails,” another insider adds. “They really do love each other. But she really feels that this problem is out of control, and she’s hurt that he won’t get help.”
Kardashian took to Twitter today (Aug. 25) to seemingly share her thoughts on the situation:This is not the first time Odom has faced drug accusations. He was suspended in 2001 when he violated NBA drug policy twice in eight months, admitting to smoking marijuana.
By the time the ink dried on the missing person report, Odom reached ot to the Huffington Post to assure them he was not missing. In addition, Sports Center tweeted, an insider told ESPN that friends of Lamar Odom were reportedly trying to get him some help for an “unspecified drug problem” after he was found in an L.A. hotel room.
