Before checking himself into rehab last week, Lamar Odom sat down with daytime talk show “The Doctors” to open up about everything from his overdose to his “demons.”
“There are reports that you’ve still been using substances—is that true or false?” Odom is asked as he remains silent.
“I wasn’t in a good place mentally, especially mentally, before the incident happened,” said Odom. “My wife at the time (Khloe), we were going through some things. I was in a dark place. So, I guess they say everything happens for a reason. So, I guess the reason is I’m here and I can tell the story.”
Odom says that he wasn’t even aware of what had happened until the Kardashians broke the news.
I couldn’t talk,” he added. “Nothing would come out when I would open my mouth. So, I was scared.”
A portion of the candid interview airs Friday. The remainder of the interview will air in January after Lamar Odom returns from rehab. “The Doctors” will also air a follow-up Q&A with the former basketball star at that time.
