OT - Breaking. Lamar Odom found unconscious and unresponsive at NV Brothel

[Iceman]

Even if he comes out of this, he will probably have significant brain damage. Sad story. All people that know him say he is a great human being. Tough upbringing and the divorce from Klohe probably put him over the edge.

You need to recalibrate your BS meter. There's no way she'd have that authority in this situation.

Their divorce hasn't been finalized so legally she's his spouse

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom Are Legally Still Married

Interesting situation. The Odom's are not legally divorced, just separated. And she is dating James Harden. But she has the right to decide when to take Lamar off life support, not his family.

As Khloé Kardashian keeps vigil by Lamar Odom's hospital bedside, she is still legally his wife, PEOPLE has learned.

Though Kardashian, 31, and Odom, 35, both signed divorce papers in July, a judgement has not yet been entered into court. As of Wednesday afternoon, Odom is in a coma and remains unresponsive after doctors discovered cocaine and opiates in his system, a source tells PEOPLE.

Following a whirlwind, month-long courtship, the stars tied the knot on national TV in September 2009. The marriage fell apart after the former basketball player's cheating scandal and drug relapse, and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2013. The proceedings stalled when Odom wouldn't sign the papers, and a judge threatened to dismiss the petition all together in April.

The Kardashian's only claim to fame is as celebrities. Publicity is their only skill. And now that the Caitlyn Jenner publicity has ebbed, here is their latest.

She is the decision maker on whether Lamar Odom lives or dies . . . while she is dating James Harden.

But the bottom line is that Lamar Odom is the one who has gotten himself into this situation. In more ways than one.

What a tragic story!

Doesn't matter. If there's any doubt about his capacity to recover, it would take months to get to a plug-pulling situation, and even then it would have be to negotiated among anyone who could claim to have Odom's best interests at heart.

A spiteful spouse can't jump at the opportunity to kill you if you happen to lapse into a coma. Don't be ridiculous.

Why are they showing a pic of LMA?

Lamar Odom has shown no signs of consciousness or improvement two days after being admitted to the hospital.

Four of Odom's organs, includes his kidneys, continue to fail.

"The doctors are concerned it has been too long that he's been in this condition and now it's not looking good," said a source.

This is looking more and more like its not going to end well. For a guy that overcame a lot of adversity, he couldn't fight it anymore.

Right, exactly. It's the doctors' call, not some tabloid bimbo's. True, Kardashian could probably prevent the plug from being pulled, at least for a while, but to suggest that she'd be in a position to authorize it without the full support of the medical staff is absurd.

The tabloid bimbo is his legal wife.


At some point (and it may be here already) the doctors will present that option to her. No one, regardless of bimboness, could pull the plug without medical staff saying the person had reached point of no-return.



Not sure why anyone is blaming her to begin with. LO was messed up before he got married, and continued to do drugs and cheat after. Not a fan of them, but to blame her is unfair.

True .. by all accounts, he would've already been dead if not for her. She tried to help him at every turn.

Of course. You do not have the authority to kill someone just because you are married to them. Pulling the plug decisions only happen after the situation has stabilized and its clear that recovery will never happen.

I have been with people in these kinds of situations many times.

Thanks for the update, Counselor. I never said "jump at the opportunity". I said (as his wife) she has the right to decide to take him off life support. I didn't touch on the procedure from there because I am not a lawyer.

Agree with all this.

Lamar is clearly a tortured soul. People always play the; He has everything, what a tool! card. Mental illness doesn't only affect the poor and unsuccessful.

I pray that he gets through this, gets help and gets his life turned around, as I do for all depressives and addicts.

Agreed with all of this. I don't understand why some here have such a hard time understanding the legal rights of a spouse. Obviously just like any other married couple, the wife or husband would need the medical staff to put them in that situation if/when it worsens.

Also agreed on the last part. Odom apparently told the women at the brothel that his biggest regret was screwing up his marriage by cheating on Khloe and that it ruined his life etc. From everything I've seen, Khloe is probably one of the more sane Kardashians and I don't think she's responsible for Odom's failures.

 

[BC867]

I am glad to hear that Lamar is awake, speaking and breathing on his own.

Although he is not out of the woods, hopefully he will be on the road to recovery.

Needless to say, here's hoping he has learned the most important lesson of his life and takes steps to act responsibly in the future.

And that the publicity hungry Kardashian clan acts responsibly in helping him.

Of course, he'll need to get and listen to professional help. Judging by his ********** expenses, he can afford it.

Not so clear now. I agree at first it seemed grim but not now.

He might seem like he's on the upside now, but brain injuries work in mysterious ways most times.

I hope you'll have the opportunity to warn his doctors.

Yep. That's why talk of pulling the plug did not make sense.

Hopefully this serves as a wake up call and sets him straight.
