14 DAY TRIAL // Rob Kardashian, reality star and sock designer of the Kardashian Klan, is in serious trouble and not just because he gained so much weight he was reportedly told by sister Kim he was too fat to be in her wedding photos. He’s been self-medicating with a cocktail of heavy drugs and things got completely out of control, says a new report.
Compared to the other Kardashians or even to his mother / manager Kris Jenner, Rob has always been very low key, in that he only made red carpet appearance when his presence was a must, he generally avoided the paparazzi, he didn’t court tabloid attention, and he did his best to make a name for himself outside of the Kardashian empire.
As he started gaining weight, he became even more low key, to the point where, before Kim’s Italian wedding to Kanye West, he had not been seen in public for several weeks. For a Kardashian, that must be some kind of record or something.
Then, he emerged to travel to Paris where Kim planned all pre-wedding celebrations to take place, and reportedly got into a fight with her because she told him he was “lazy” for not losing the extra weight and that he’d now ruin all her pretty wedding pics. Upon hearing that, he packed his bags and left for LA, skipping the wedding altogether.
A close friend is telling InTouch magazine that Rob was also depressed and, even if Kim hadn’t said those things, he would have probably still opted out of the wedding at the last minute. Apparently, he’s been depressed for a very long time and he’s been self-medicating – but the result is the exact opposite of what he was counting on.
Among his pills of choice are Norco, Percocet, and Xanax. Rob is also smoking a lot of weed and is drinking Sizzurp (aka “Lean”), a cocktail made of prescription-strength cough syrup, Sprite, and candy that gets you high and is quite addictive as well.
As per the pal, before the wedding, Rob holed himself up at his Sherman Oaks, California house, doing nothing but “heavy drugs.” “He’d just lie around his place smoking weed, doing drugs, watching movies and eating. He said he ‘needed’ the pills,” the friend reveals.
“The reason he left Kim’s wedding wasn’t just that he was embarrassed to pose in photos. He only knows how to party to excess. He is so depressed and needs help,” adds the pal.
As it happens, the so-called friend doesn’t say if anyone from Rob’s circle, be it his family or his other friends, is doing anything to help him out, to make him understand he has a problem and that he should get help for it.
Shortly after Rob landed at LAX after the wedding debacle, he contacted celebrity trainer Gunnar Peterson to enlist his services to get back to a healthy weight. He hasn’t been seen since and, as far as the media knows, his whereabouts are a mystery.
