Lamar Odom hasn’t spoken a whole lot since he became a frontpage headline on newspapers across the world thanks to a supposed drug problem. Consequently, he’s been verbally battered from damn near every corner of the Internet by fans and members of the media. For the most part, he’s simply taken the shots on the chin without even attempting to move out of the way via a publicist, agent or anyone else, but apparently, the big man draws the line when members of his so-called family get involved.

Recently, Odom’s father, a recovering drug addict in his own right, gave an interview in which he bashed the Kardashian family, blaming them for his son’s downfall and calling Kris Jenner “an evil bitch”. That didn’t sit too well with Lamar; so, he took to Twitter and unleashed a giant middle finger aimed directly at his dad. You can check out the text below…

”Won't continue 2 speak on this but I have got 2 let this out real quick. I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of shit. He wasn't there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me. For the first time since they left, came a blessing of a FAMILY that I married into. FAMILY. That man wasn't even invited to my wedding. He has never met my mother in law and some of my other family. How can a man who has NOT once called me to check on my well being have the nerve to talk so recklessly about his own "son". He is my downfall! His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me. He disrespecting the ONLY FAMILY that has loved me without expecting anything in return. They are the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this! This goes to out to everyone!”

Lamar has had problems with his father for damn near his entire life; so, it’s no surprise he’d go on another rant about him. What is surprising, however, is how vehemently he defends the Kardashian family, despite the rumors that he’s unwilling to work on his marriage. Those certainly don’t seem like the words of a man who isn’t invested, but by his own admission, he’s in the middle of a “dark time”. For all we know, he could think Khloe is better off without him. If he can stop acting like an idiot and commit to living a drug free life, that’s definitely not true.

Pop Blend’s sincerest thoughts go out to Lamar during this time of need. Here’s to hoping he looks toward his real family, the Kardashian’s, and heads into rehab.
