Lamar Odom Update: NBA Star Ejects Khloé Kardashian, Convinced She's Using Him for Publicity?
Lamar Odom recently ordered estranged wife Khloé Kardashian out of his hospital room, amid rumors he is angry she has used his hospitalization for publicity and to further her own fame.
Us magazine reports the former NBA star is also agitated over reports Kardashian has been keeping his children and other family members away.
"Lamar said he needed space and wanted to be alone," a source said. "He told her to get out."
Odom has been hospitalized since being found unresponsive and bleeding from the nose and mouth last month at the Las Vegas brothel where he had been staying. The 31-year-old Kardashian has largely remained by his side throughout the ordeal, and she recently moved to have a judge stop proceedings on their pending divorce.
But word is Odom's friends and family have now "turned him against Khloé" and even claim she recently tipped off paparazzi about her reality TV family visiting Odom at the hospital. In addition, Kardashian is rumored to have recently required Odom's family members to sign confidentiality waivers before visiting him.
"I'm supposed to sign a waiver not to talk about North West, a child I have no interest in what's so ever," Yahoo reports cousin Sherae Clark-Williams posted on Facebook.
Before that, Odom's father Joe claimed he also wasn't allowed to visit his son, again putting the blame squarely at the feet of Kardashian.
Meanwhile, those close to Kardashian deny all the rumors, including the report that Odom ordered her out of his space.
A source said, "She's focused on making sure Lamar is stabilized." The source added Kardashian wasn't even on hand when Joe arrived and only had power over who was allowed to visit him while he was still in a coma.
During one of the brief times she left his side, Kardashian was spotted in Houston visiting with NBA boyfriend James Harden.
