Khloe Kardashian appeared on The Ellen Show on Friday. It was a pre-scheduled appearance to promote her book, and it’s looking more and more like Khloe barely canceled any of her appearances for her book. I’m not sure how I feel about that, but I do think it’s possible that Lamar Odom really did tell Khloe to leave him alone at the hospital. Maybe? I don’t even know at this point. Everyone’s got a different story and different sites are running different exclusives.
When Ellen DeGeneres asked Khloe about Lamar, Khloe was sort of all over the place too. Khloe says that Lamar doesn’t know why he’s in the hospital and he doesn’t ask why either. Khloe also said: “He’s really confused a lot — sometimes he knows who the president is and his birthday, and sometimes he thinks he’s 26, and I say, ‘I bet you wish you were 26, so do I!’” Khloe also joked that she’s “part of polygamy now” because she has a husband and a boyfriend (James Harden). Here’s a clip of the interview.
If it sounds like Khloe is skirting around the idea that Lamar has significant brain damage and severe aphasia, you’re probably correct. I’m going to give Khloe the benefit of the doubt and say that she’s trying to be positive about Lamar’s condition privately and publicly, plus it’s not really our business to know exactly how he’s doing. Still, TMZ put Lamar’s situation in harsher terms:
Lamar Odom’s in rough shape — having a tough time with communication and mobility — and we’re told it’s so bad, he can’t recognize some close friends and family. Our sources tell us Lamar has made little progression in the last couple weeks. We’re told he’s only able to speak a word here and there, and at times he seems “empty.”
The scariest part … Lamar can’t recognize longtime friends and even family members when they come to visit. We’re told docs believe he’s suffered significant brain damage.
Yeah, this is probably true. We can’t even get a confirmation on whether he’s walking, you know? It sounds like some days are better than others and he’s still got a long road to recovery ahead of him.
