I see what you did here…..”The irony of Odom’s misadventure is that he lived in that depraved Kardashian lifestyle, then went to a brothel and apparently actually thought he was getting a change of venue.”….not bad …lol
You really have no sympathy or compassion, sad example of a cold hearted human .
Love it when people who haven’t left the SCV since 1968 feel able to comment on the lives of others.
Betty,
While on many levels I feel sorry for the man (and anyone getting caught up with the K-clan) – on this rare occasion, you and I aren’t far apart.
At some level personal responsibility trumps prior family misfortune, assuming mental competence. If there are overriding issues of mental illness or organic disease – all bets are off on condemning bad behavior and medical treatment should be the course.
That aside, assuming competence, for society to work we’ve got to be responsible humans, acting responsibly on our on behalf and towards and for others.
Lamar Odom did the spiral and apparently has hit bottom. Often the bottom is the fist step on the way up. Let’s hope the Kardashians don’t twist his head, further.
Is this really Jim that wrote this piece?!
I can try to find sympathy but for a man, who has children “older children at that” I have no sympathy. He needs to put on big boy pants and be a man.
Before anyone uses the drugs made him do it aspect.
Well I before I started my life as a husband and father, I too was a drug addict and knew even as a addict that I could not be with anyone until and only if I stopped that lifestyle. In order to not ruin anyone else’s life but my own.
Betty’s columns are a regular read of mine. Who doesn’t want to start their day by reading an old bigot and her conservative fairy tales? The sad fact for her is that this town, state and country are becoming more liberal by the day. She once told me she would be phsyically sick if our President won reelection. I smiled and walked away.
Lamar has his problems and hasn’t made good decisions yes. But who are she to judge him?
The only column on here worse is Messina and his weekly confused dribble.
drivel, not “dribble”
So now Betty jumps on the story after criticizing main stream media. Oh the Irony.
Fame and fortune have nothing to do with being broken. It happens to people of all ages, genders, and economic levels. Shame on you for casting such strong judgment and contempt for a man you do not know and a family who has done you no harm. Why not use your literary skills on something positive and uplifting?
Lamar Odom has taught us that the best way to reunite with your estranged wife is to get high on herbal viagra and nearly die at a whore house. Who knew?
It never ceases to amaze me of the venomous statements spewed on situations that are often not in the control of the subject. I don’t believe Lamar called the media. Lamar definitely has issues. And we must not be so quick to judge what we don’t know. And yes, I find it so incredible that his life has become the reality sitcom for all to see. He needs someone with sincere empathy, compassion and patience who isn’t interested in putting their hands on his wallet but helping him connect with his soul. Until you have dealt with an individual you love who is suffering from more than one addiction, I don’t believe you can be a great judge looking outside from Awesometown where none of his life problems ever exist . . .
Please shut your decrepit piehole, and stick to stories you copy and paste. You are a cold hearted and sick woman.
Poor Lamar….getting sucked back into the Kardashians….
I will have to do my research to see if she has ever written about the drug problem in the SCV, or is it just because this is all over the news? Has she written about the sex activities in the SCV, or is it just because this is in the news?
What Lamar is going through is no different then what everyday people struggle with. We should not judge him nor anyone else who has had or is currently battling an addiction if we’ve never been in those shoes. We don’t know what goes on in his everyday life, or his deep down rooted issues. We should not criticize him nor his wife’s family for what we see on public display. That’s like making judgement on you from your public displays which are your articles. Are your articles what make you who you are, or are you more than what you write?
Blame it on El Nino.
Jerry, Betty is a dear friend of our family… She is not a bit– … Smh
