Friends and family have been trying to convince Lamar Odom to seek
help in the wake of him resorting to some of his old habits, but the
former NBA star is reportedly not interested in hearing what other
people have to say.
A report from Extra claims some family members made an unsuccessful attempt at staging an intervention for Odom
in New York Friday night. A source told the gossip publication that
Odomโs aunt, children and ex-wife were among those in attendance, but an
โextremely surprisedโ Odom walked out.
Odomโs cousin has reportedly reached out to Darryl Strawberry in an
attempt to have the former MLB player convince Odom to start a program
at the Darryl Strawberry Recovery Center in Florida. Strawberry is said
to have joined the intervention via video chat.
Things do not appear to be going well for Odom more than eight months
after he nearly lost his life to a drug overdose. His estranged wife
Khloe Kardashian has kicked Lamar out of the home she was renting for
him, and Odom reportedly caused a scene on a plane recently and had to be removed. He obviously needs professional help.
