Former NBA star and ex-husband of reality star Khloe Kardashian, Lamar Odom, is “fighting for his life” after being hospitalized in critical condition some hours ago, it has emerged. He has been taken to a hospital in Las Vegas, but it’s “not looking good.”

Lamar’s marriage to Khloe effectively ended in December 2013, when she filed the divorce papers. At the time, rumors that he’d been abusing drugs had already been making the rounds for over a year, and it is believed that his addiction only got worse afterwards.

A probable OD

In his chats with the paparazzi, Lamar would often say that he did not have a drug problem, insisting that the Kardashians were out to paint him as the bad guy in the way they discussed his divorce from Khloe on the show.

He also insisted that Khloe was still with him, even though she was seeing other men, publicly so.

TMZ is now reporting that Lamar went to Dennis Hof’s Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada, over the weekend, locking himself in a VIP suite with several ladies working for the establishment. He didn’t come accompanied by friends or anyone else.

Some hours ago, one of the women went back into the room only to find Lamar unconscious. She panicked and called for the manager, who called 911. Until paramedics arrived, the manager turned Lamar on the side and saw “mucus-type liquid coming out of his nose and mouth,” he says for the celebrity publication.

Apparently, Lamar was taking a herbal substitute for Viagra, but it is believed he was also doing drugs.

Lamar is in hospital and it’s “not looking good”

The same manager reveals that the former basketball player was rushed to the Pahrump hospital, where he was intubated. He was later moved to a Las Vegas hospital, but he is completely alone there because he has no family.

Sources close to the situation claim that he is in critical condition, fighting for his life. Prognosis is not good.

In August this year, Lamar gave the first sign that his situation was deteriorating, when he ambushed his ex-wife outside a gym in LA in the early hours of morning, having flown there from Las Vegas on purpose. He later claimed that Khloe had called him there and that he wasn’t stalking her.

He also said that he was “fine” but furious because the Kardashians and the media had ruined his life.
