Khloe Kardashian reportedly kept Lamar Odom’s struggles with addiction private from her family for much of their marriage, according to TMZ.
TMZ, citing unnamed sources, reported that Odom has dealt with a crack addiction for at least two years. The outlet also reported that when Khloe sought professional help, including hiring private investigators to follow him, she told them the issue was performance enhancing drugs rather than the full extent of the problem. According to TMZ’s sources, she decided to open up to her family once stories about Odom began to surface and relatives started asking questions. One source described her as a real trooper who has been going through a very hard time.
TMZ also reported that the couple is separated, though neither has taken steps toward divorce. According to the outlet, Khloe effectively declared a separation when she asked Odom to leave the house on Wednesday after he turned down an intervention. TMZ’s sources said she made it clear that if he did not get help, she wanted nothing more to do with him. The same sources said neither has consulted a divorce lawyer yet and that the couple signed a prenup before they married.
The day before the report, Khloe posted on Twitter that it was hard to listen to people talk badly about her family and that she is very protective of them.
Neither Khloe nor Odom had publicly confirmed TMZ’s report at the time of publishing. Baller Alert will keep you updated as this story develops.
