While Lamar Odom lies in a coma at Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas, Piers Morgan has candidly blasted the Kardashians for their involvement in the former NBA player's condition. Morgan says the Kardashian family is to blame for Odom's current disposition since he couldn't keep up with the family's call for the limelight.

On his column for Mail Online, Morgan talks about the pitfalls of being a member of the Kardashian family. Odom, who previously played for the NBA Lakers, became a "public property" the moment he married Khloe Kardashian in 2009, Morgan wrote. While he was living a not so popular life as a basketball player, he catapulted to the limelight with his marriage to Khloe. Soon his married life was on television for everyone to speculate. At first he enjoyed the celebrity status but eventually, the pressures of being under the spotlight took its toll on Odom. According to Morgan, being involved with the Kardashian family's media-crazy lifestyle ultimately had a negative effect on the 35-year-old.

His basketball career was over. He resorted to substance abuse for which he reportedly went to rehab for. He was also arrested for DUI and was found cheating on Khloe. The couple eventually split and filed for divorce in July.

Morgan said the pressures of being a paparazzi target or of his life being dissected by the media since his marriage to Khloe eventually brought him down. "The sad, tragic truth about Lamar Odom is that he couldn't keep up with the Kardashians," Morgan wrote on his column, adding that Odom "should never have tried" in the first place to keep up to pace with them.

According to Morgan, even Odom's estranged father Joe blames the Kardashians for his son's demise. Calling the family as a bad influence for his son, Joe said the Kardashians hindered his son's career success.

"It's been the curse of his life. He hasn't really accomplished anything since he's been with them," Joe said as quoted by Morgan.

Despite Morgan putting the blame on the Kardashian family for Odom's condition, the family has been very supportive of Odom since they learned he's in a coma. Several sources told Entertainment Online that Khloe has never left Odom's bedside since arriving at the hospital on Tuesday. Kris Jenner was also spotted outside the hospital looking distraught as seen in this photo shared by the site.

A video shared by Mail Online also shows the very pregnant Kim Kardashian-West arriving at the hospital. Kourtney was also photographed visiting Odom who reportedly has a 50-50 chance of survival.
