Former NBAer Lamar Odom was in the hospital fighting for his life not too long ago, but it hasn’t stopped him from drinking heavily at times, it seems.
Odom reportedly flew from LAX to NYC on Monday, but slammed copious amounts of whiskey and beer at the Delta Lounge before doing so, according to TMZ Sports. There are eyewitness reports citing that Odom was “wasted” upon getting on the plane.
He didn’t even get to NYC, because he reportedly sprinted his way toward the bathroom and threw up in it. When passengers complained about his poor state of health, and the fact that he had vomit all over his clothes, he was eventually removed from the plane.
Per TMZ:
Two passengers in first class tell TMZ, Lamar went to 4B and sat down, but as the plane was about to pull back he bolted for the front, threw up in the galley and then walked in the bathroom and with the door open threw up again. When he came out of the bathroom, we’re told he had vomit on his clothes.
The passengers tell us the flight attendants “gently” escorted Lamar off the plane, and a cleaning crew came on board to deal with the mess. The flight attendants put Lamar’s carry-on belongings in a plastic bag and removed them from the plane.
Things aren’t looking good for Odom right about now. Khloe Kardashian seems to have cut him off, given that she recently kicked him out of a home she was renting for him, under suspicion that he was drinking or using drugs again.
Odom needs help, but most importantly, he needs to want help, to hopefully spark change and head back in the right direction.
