Lamar Odom Not Missing; Khloe Kardashian "Knows Where He Is" Says Rep
Contrary to recent rumors and reports, Lamar Odom is not missing, his agent Jeff Schwartz tells ESPN.
"Lamar is not missing. His wife knows exactly where he is," Schwartz said in the interview. The statement was issued after recent reports circulated that the NBA player has gone missing for over 72 hours.
TMZ earlier reported that the couple has already separated and that Khloe threw Lamar out of their residence Wednesday. The separation was allegedly caused by Lamar's refusal to receive treatment for drug abuse.
The intervention set up by his wife was reported to be for a crack addiction problem that Lamar has been suffering from for a couple of years now. Hollywood Life also published a similar report citing an unnamed source who was close to the Kardashian family. According to the source:
"The entire family is rallying around Khloe. They support her whatever she decides to do. She's totally embarrassed because everyone thinks Lamar has been cheating and that she hasn't been able to give him a baby. But in reality he's been doing drugs [allegedly] and she hasn't wanted to start a family with him while he's like that. She's never been able to tell everyone the truth because she's been protecting him."
Another source from a report by the International Business Times claims that "Khloe is more concerned about saving Lamar than ending her marriage."
However, in a recent report by TMZ, the couple reportedly met up secretly in an attempt to save the relationship. Khloe allegedly drove to see Lamar at an undisclosed location.
Citing yet another unnamed source, TMZ also claims that Khloe has not given up on Lamar but will not consider getting back together with him until he has fixed his cocaine problem.
Following all these, Khloe has finally voiced out her frustrations over all the rumors and reports circulating her marriage life, tweeting:
