Lamar Odom has defended himself, after reports emerged on Wednesday that he 'ambushed' his ex wife Khloe Kardashian outside her morning fitness class. Speaking to TMZ on camera, the former NBA player insists he did not 'follow, hassle or harass' the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, suggesting that their meeting was prearranged.
According to an earlier report on the site, Khloe was confronted by her former husband outside SoulCycle in LA on Wednesday morning, but Lamar is keen to tell his side of the story. An onlooker said Khloe attempted to ignore him but he grabbed her arm. She allegedly screamed: 'Get off of me, get off of me. Stop. Stop.'
As another witness allegedly asked if Khloe wanted them to contact police, Lamar allegedly screamed: 'You're not going to call the cops on Lamar Odom.' Khloe is said to have responded: 'How did you know I was here?' before reportedly running to her car and driving away. Lamar though has insisted he didn't ambush his ex, telling a TMZ reporter in a new video that 'nobody got followed, nobody got hassled, nobody got harassed, nobody got grabbed on, none of that...It's ridiculous, it's crazy...It's just not the truth.'
Pointing out that he lives in Las Vegas and therefore has no idea of his ex's daily routine or hangouts in Los Angeles, he asks: 'Did I just guess right where this girl may be?' 'You know I know Khloe right? You know I was close to her?' he says to the reporter. 'So how would you think I ended up there?' When the reporter replied 'I would think that there was some communication between you two,' the sportsman agrees, telling him 'OK then.'
In a sometimes angry rant, Lamar apologises for yelling, but admits he's at breaking point. 'It's hard for me to keep my composure, to everybody that I know and that supports me I'm sorry but that's it, the dog has to fight back,' he says.
'Ya'll beat me down, degraded me, said I would do everything in the world. I'm a womaniser, a f**king drug addict, everything. I probably couldn't even get f**king hired at Home Depot right now because of how people look at me, it's over...If it happens again I will air everything out.'
