The tabloids have been running a ton of stories about Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom and the state of their marriage lately. I guess their marriage has always been tabloid-bait, but the coverage seems to have taken a weird turn. Like, Star Magazine, Life & Style and In Touch Weekly are all convinced that Lamar is cheating on Khloe regularly and that he’s a frequent customer of lap-dancing establishments and clubs with ready-and-willing club girls, etc. I’ve been ignoring the stories for a while, but I just thought I’d cover this week’s story because L&S got an interview with a coworker of the stripper who serviced Lamar recently.
Life & Style has exclusively learned that on Jan. 16, while Khloé Kardashian went on national TV to publicly defend her marriage and assure fans things were fine between her and her husband, Lamar Odom, that same night, Lamar was more than 1,500 miles away admiring strippers at Downtown Cabaret in Minneapolis.
While at the upscale Vegas-style strip club in the heart of Minneapolis, an eyewitness tells Life & Style, Lamar and some of his Clippers teammates were escorted from a private booth on the side of the main stage into the $500-per-hour Champagne Room where Lamar handed out roughly $2,000 while enjoying extra attention from a stripper named “Jasmine.”
“She’ll do anything back there [in the Champagne room],” a co-worker revealed to Life & Style. “She was all over him!” And Jasmine got rewarded handsomely for her attentiveness, admitting Lamar took good care of her, and that Jan. 16 was her most profitable night in weeks. “I can’t wait until he comes back. He promised!”
As Life & Style previously reported, over the past few months, Lamar has been spotted boozing, flirting and partying it up with pretty girls at clubs all over the country, while Khloé is nowhere in sight.
Sigh… I kind of think that there might be something to this. I know, I know, I’m about to get yelled at by Khloe. But the stories are becoming so constant, and Khloe’s denials feel weaker and weaker. I think they’re having marriage problems. I believe that Khloe doesn’t want to give up on him or the marriage, but I think Lamar might be looking for a way out. This is really sad, right? I like Khloe and Lamar together. Sad.

I believe it. According to a blind item that was revealed yesterday, Lamar is living in a hotel while he’s in LA and has been seen openly courting other women.

I can’t believe I care but I’ve always had a soft spot for Khloe. I was hoping they’d work out but didn’t he have a little bit of a bad rep, in the relationship dept, before meeting Khloe? I don’t know if it’s true but Media Take Out is claiming she’s pregnant and I think other outlets are picking it up. I don’t know what to think considering Lamar’s behavior.
I’m with you totally. I have a soft spot for her and hoped that she would have a chance at a decent marriage because she seems more real to me unlike the rest of her family. I know she’s part of the empire and all but still . . . .
*sigh*….me, too. Khloe is the only Kardashian I’ve ever had any empathy for. I hope these rumors are exactly that, but it feels….legit, somehow. I hope the tabloids are just reaching. Good luck, girl. 🙁
Ugh. I hate any circumstance that can have me having sympathy for a Kardashian. But of them all, Khloe is the only one who seems to have a soul.
Frankly, I just do not get why any sane woman would marry an NBA player, are any of them faithful? Only a poor fool would marry one for love, that’s for damn sure.
Good luck Khloe, don’t you let him play you for a fool!
I agree with all you say.
I’m sure Kris will step right in to insure that Khloe isn’t made a fool (sarcasm).
I’ve never been a Kardashian fan or a watcher of their shows. Frankly, Khloe has seemed the most down to earth. If true, I wish her the best.
No woman should put up with another man’s B***^&%$
sounds like shes really in denial about the state of their marriage. i feel sorry for her cause shes so in love with him. i think if so many tabliods are saying the samething it must be true.
I feel bad fro this lady…I mean she never wanted to get involved with this family, ‘fact I will be happier if she is not a Kardashian!But there’s is something about them that that just sends men packing; Scott doesn’t want to marry into into, Kris couldn’t stay in it, Bruce is sick of them and the last one Lamar, is done already!!Kloe had a chance of something beautiful with Lamar if she could just steer away from the publicity and build her own family. I guess the men feel challenged at every given point!!
What did she expect? Didn’t she marry him after like a month of “dating”? Sorry but you can’t really “know” someone after dating for a month
Yes, that was always a red flag for me. You don’t really know someone after such a short time. And the stuff you learn later might not make you happy.
I agree completely. Frankly, I’m surprised it lasted this long. Who marries an NBA player after a month and expects full disclosure and faithfulness for the rest of her life?
I always get the impression that she is way more into him than he into her. Sad, because I like them together.
I’m rooting for Big girl Khole.
She’s beautiful and seems real. Every marriage has problems and strippers aren’t your best sources, I serviced Lamar, I’m famous so come see me!
At least she’s hanging in there and fighting for her marriage, good for her. She’s made it past 72 days, has no illegitimate babies and seems to accept herself as she is w/o tweaking her face….I bet that just pisses the whole clan off!
As for paternity, if her “daddy” hasn’t been around all this time he’s apparently worthless so let it go people.
I wonder if what’s really going on is a sort of “time to choose – a real life or your pimp mama” situation. He has been inside long enough to see the guys get neutered by Kris and the whole thing beaning Kris H and may realize this nonsense harmed his career too in addition to being bad for Khloe. He may even know about plans to hand the Kimbo baby off to Khloe…and he may be taking a final stand. Pure speculation, based on something similar that happened to a friend last year. Choose, and choose wisely = this scenario, now recast in the tabs by pimp mama.
I don’t know what to believe. Those magazines will print anything to make a buck. If saying that Lamars a whoredog sells magazines, than that’s what they will do.
please don’t make lamar the bad guy… i mean come on. as someone pointed out, being with one person in the family means being with the whole family and that is a lot (esp. with Kris).
so the guy went to a cabaret strip club with some friends. big deal, is that not what many do (silly things you probably wouldn’t want everyone to know about) with good friends?
back celebrating sharapova’s loss in the aussie open. i know, i’m a bitch that it makes me happy but i can’t help it! take the final li NA!
Lamar is the bad guy, though. What MARRIED man goes to a strip club with his single friends? I would kill my husband if he went to a strip club. Nothing to do with jealousy but EVERYTHING to do with respect for one another. You have a wife who loves you, why do you need to watch other girls take their clothes off? Why do you need to go to the champagne room and touch her? Yes Kris is unbearable but that doesn’t give him a reason to play his wife. Sorry, but he’s a dick.
+1 All the way girl!!! Go home and play with your wife, or remain single and uncommitted. Too many people out there want it both ways – does NOT work.
There are plenty of people (myself included) that would be completely comfortable with their significant other going to a strip club. It’s disrespectful if you do it knowing that your spouse doesn’t like it, but maybe Khloe knows and doesn’t care. I wouldn’t care. Diff’rent strokes and all that.
Ugh strip clubs are so gross, and I’m relieved my man feels the same, but to each his own. I’ve known a cool stripper and apparently faithful men who frequent them. Some of them take their wives or girlfriends.
If your husband is going to one and you know about it and you’re fine with it, that’s one thing. But if he goes and lies about it or just doesn’t tell you, that speaks to something more.
Kristen – I think it’s a little different when your husband is a famous NBA player. No one wants to see pictures of hear stories about their husbands from strippers, let alone have it all over the web.
I wouldn’t mind if my husband went for a friends bachelor party, because they went to his, but my husband doesn’t have a wandering eye and a streak of bad relationships, whereas Lamar does. But just for the hell of it – why does your husband need to go to a strip club any other time you know? I’m not a jealous or controlling wife, my husband and I are very open, I just don’t think a strip club is a place for a man that’s married and has a family.
It depends. I will go to strip clubs with my husband because that’s fun. However, most of the strippers will do whatever else you want, so I draw the line at him going by himself. Not even because I don’t trust him, but I don’t trust them! Like I said, I’ve been to the clubs, I see what they do with the single guys in there…no. Looking is fine, touching is something else entirely IMO.
How does anyone know the WAG-status of Lamar’s team-mates here? For a man away from home a lot, strip clubs are a way to sit with a pretty girl, see her breasts, & have her treat a lonely man like he’s irresistible—without *really* feeling like he’s cheating on his WAG.
If my partner (if I had one 😉 did that while in town w/me I’d be furious, but years ago, had a between-corporate gig waiting tables at an urban club, & the whole thing… outer area & Champagne Room alike… struck me as being little more than a costly adolescent fantasy for guys who have to spend too much time away from home.
If Lamar is secretly hitting strip clubs when NOT traveling, though, she should kick him to the curb.
I was just gonna say that I used to have an issue with strip clubs earlier in my marriage (been married 6 & 1/2 years) but after a few years, I didn’t care so much anymore. I actually told my hubby when I was pregnant with our first to “go out with the boys, who knows when you’ll get to do it again now that we got kids”. Now all our friends are getting married, so he goes to the bachelor parties, and stuff, so no biggie.
And if we weren’t so broke right now, I’d tell him to take his friend whose gonna be a new daddy to do the same, as long as baby mama was cool with it.
By my personal rules, going to a strip club and looking = fine. Spending $2,000 in the private room = not fine.
But each couple has to set their own rules. If Khloe is fine with it, then it’s her choice.
I just wish this whole family would go away. Seriously, why does ANYONE care?
Don’t make him the bad guy??? Really? I wish people would stop feeling sorry for the dumb ass dudes that marry into that family. They know exactly what they are getting themselves into but they still do it. It is like playing in traffic then wanting to cry when you get hit by a car. Come ON!!!! On the flip side, it is the same w/women who marry athletes–you knew what you were signing up for so why complain? Khloe is not some groupie looking for a come up; she has her own money so I don’t get it.
I would be doing whatever the hell it took to get out of the marriage and that family, including doing lines off a strippers ass.
I always felt like Lamar and Robert were doing stuff on the down low lol but maybe thats just my mxm love coming out
Some women just look away when their husbands cheat; my cousin is like that. I am not ready for another Kardashian divorce drama in the tabloids.
If anyone asked Kris Hump what he thought of the state Of Khloe’s marriage, he shld reply “karma is a bitch, right…but, hey, I like Lamar and I wish him good luck”!
Shallow celebrities… why do they all sell their souls for $ ?! It must be a living hell – broken homes, broken marriages, money squandered on legal bills, plastic surgeries.
I like to watch (and comment!) but I could never play!
I think the real story here is whether or not Robert Kardashian was her father. God, what a nightmare for the poor girl. I like her, too. She seems far more real to me than Kim. Kourtney is possibly more real than any of them, but that is beside the point.
Also, I think Lamar is a whiney baby who bailed on the marriage once things started getting difficult. He was having a “hard time” and let his play suffer so dramatically that he had to get kicked to D-League, and there is no excuse for that when counselors and time off for bereavement or whatever is encouraged.
He wants kids, fine. So does she. It’s going to be a challenge of epic proportions requiring him to be there for Khloe is ways he in completely unprepared for, and he does want out of the whole thing.
I think she is lying to herself the way a lot of baller wives do who are left alone for long periods of time with the faithfulness of their husbands hazy, at least in the wives’ minds — how could it not be? I think Khloe really REALLY trusted Lamar, thought nothing but the best of him and their relationship, and had him on a pedestal; so this fall from grace is going to extra devastating to her, poor thing.
She’ll be fine in the long run, but yeah….sad.
I’m not sure about “Strippers” but Lamar 100% hangs out with escorts. I’ve seen pictures of him with notorious LA/Vegas escorts sitting on his lap. To hangout with them you pay them. I’ve never heard of a guy paying an escort just to talk. Maybe he is different lol
