Lamar Odom denies stalking Khloe Kardashian yesterday (Aug 12) after witnesses and of course cameras caught the two in a verbal altercation.
It all started when Khloe was on her way into SoulCycle in Beverly Hills and Lamar approached. An eyewitness explained that Lamar was demanding that she talk to him. She kept walking as he was screaming. At that point Lamar touched Khloe’s arm and she screamed at him, “Get off of me, get off of me. Stop. Stop.”
Another eyewitness asked Khloe if she wanted them to call the cops, and Lamar screamed, “You’re not going to call the cops on Lamar Odom.”
Khloe then screamed, “How did you know I was here?” but witnesses couldn’t hear the answer.
Welp, there’s always two sides to a story.
In video obtained by TMZ, a furious and emotional Odom flat out denies any harassment took place, claiming that 31-year-old Khloe was involved in arrangements for him to meet her at her SoulCycle class on Wednesday, Aug 12, and saying he’s hurt that she’s not standing up for his character.
“I am not, not, not the person that they’re trying to make me out to be,” Odom said in the video, his voice full of emotion. “I live in Las Vegas. So was there an address or a place given, or I just guessed right? Did I just guess right where this girl may be? I know Khloe, so how would you think I ended up there?” he asked the cameraman who was filming his outburst.
“I would think there was some communication between you two,” the cameraman offered.
“Okay then,” he replied. “It’s hard for me to keep my composure,” he continued. “To everyone who knows and supports me I’m sorry but the dog has to fight back. [They say] I’m a womanizer, a drug addict. It’s awful,” he continued. “If it happens again I will air everything out. Nobody got followed, nobody got hassled, nobody got harassed, nobody got grabbed on, none of that,” he insisted before explaining that his ex-wife’s lack of comment is the thing he’s finding hardest to handle.
“Probably the most hurtful part, somebody should be calling up saying, ‘Hell no that didn’t happen, that’s ridiculous, that’s crazy,'” he said. “It’s just not the truth.”
In a second video, also shared via TMZ, Odom goes on to say he’s never courted media attention.
“I don’t Twitter, I don’t Instagram,” he said. “Me and that girl fell in love, it’s our business. If we want to let you in our house we can let you in, we can kick you out at the same time,” he added.
My two-cents: I’ve always believed the Kardashians had a choke hold on the media. Whatever they want people to believe is what the media will report. I do believe Lamar. However his struggle is going to be that he’s a user of drugs. And with that on his record there are some people that will never believe a word he says. Good luck to him.
