The Six Craziest Stories From Lamar Odom's Tell All Book
For those of you who don’t know, Lamar Odom has been on a bit of a media tour lately. He recently released a tell-all memoir: ‘From Darkness to Light’, or as I like to call it, ‘Foggy Tales From An Allegedly Clean Crack Head’ with a TON of wild stories about his time in the league leading up to his retirement and his near fatal overdose in 2015. Personally, I think he’s insincere. This clip convinced me of that, but that’s beside the point.
Because regardless of whether you like or believe Lamar as a person, you have to acknowledge that some of the stories he told in the book are absolutely insane. Here are some of the craziest ones as broken down by TooFab dot com:
He got fucked over trying to cheat his way into college:
According to Lamar, a man named Pastor John Massey Jr. was paid $15,000 to change some grades on his report card to As and Bs. But when he saw his transcripts, they were filled with Fs — “I had been had,” he recalled.
He also revealed that someone else took the SATs for him, “to ensure my college eligibility.” The only problem: the guy did too well and it raised suspicions. His scholarship to UNLV was rescinded.
Rule number one of cheating is don’t raise any suspicions. If you’re a D student, cheat your way to a B -. If you give yourself an A people will question it. Also, don’t pay a PASTOR $15,000 to change your grades- pay a priest. At least they have a moral compass.
He had a FORTY-person orgy after getting signed to the Heat:
After his beginnings at the Clippers, Odom was drafted by the Miami Heat. With that move came a brand new six-bedroom, nine-bathroom home, which he christened on one huge party attended by “every stripper, groupie, and side piece” he and his friends knew.
“All in all, there were about forty women there, and it didn’t take long for half of them to get naked,” he explained. “It escalated quickly into a full-blown orgy. People were having sex in the pool, the Jacuzzi, on the lawn, in chairs, standing up against a heat lamp. Everywhere. I met a pair of twenty-year-old twins who had zero problem with any request. For most of the night, I kept them to myself.”
I’ve never signed an NBA contract and I’ve never had a forty-person orgy, but I can confidently say that I wouldn’t be able to handle either. So I kind of get how things got out of control. New money, new city, you want to get wild. Not sure how his dick worked considering the amount of Miami-based-cocaine he was doing at the time, but it seems par for the course.
Khloe (allegedly) beat the shit out of a girl she caught him cheating with:
Odom said he “had broken my vows with Khloe so many times” before she started checking his Black Card statements. One night, she tracked his movements to the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood, where he was shacked up with two strippers and a lot of drugs.
Around midnight, there was a “pounding” at the door — and on the other side was Khloe, Kris Jenner and their security team. “Khloé opened the door and pounced on the first girl she saw,” said Lamar.
“Try to imagine the scene: Khloe’s beating the shit out of one of the girls who tried to protest. She’s dropping vicious blows all over the top of this girl’s head,” he claimed. “Kris is screaming and her security guard jumps in and pulls Khloe off the beaten stripper. Khloe tells me to gather up my things, and the guards quickly remove all traces of the drugs. We sneak out of a back door of the Roosevelt and disappear into the night.”
This is my favorite story out of all of them. Kris, Khloe and their security team running up on a group of strippers, stealing Lamar, and disposing of his drugs. You know it was Kris’ idea too. She probably had the whole E! camera crew there with her. Of all the Kardashian women, Khloe would be the last one I’d want to throw hands with.
Kris helped break up the marriage to ‘protect the brand.’
As their marriage fell apart, Lamar claimed Kris called him saying Khloe wanted to speak with him after a SoulCycle class. But when he approached Khloe outside of the studio, she had no idea what was going on and photographers were there filming the whole incident.
“It had to be Kris,” he said. “Kris knew this was my last chance, but she didn’t want a drug addict in the family. It wasn’t good for business. Any chance I had left with Khloe exploded on the spot.”
He added, “It was always about her brand. I was nothing to her.”
No surprises there.
He broke up with Taraji P. Henson because he was afraid he couldn’t get coke in China.
In 2008, Odom met Taraji P. Henson at a party in Hollywood and they clicked immediately.
The two broke up after he wouldn’t go to China with her while she filmed “Karate Kid,” worrying that he wouldn’t be able to feed his cocaine addiction while there.

He bought a fake dick in order to pass a drug test for the US Olympic team.
When Odom was recruited to play for the US team at the Olympics in 2004, he was also required to take a drug test. “There was absolutely no way I was going to pass,” he recalled, “I’d been smoking weed every day that summer.”
The solution: “We ordered a giant rubber black c–k to arrive the next day.”
Odom’s trainer, Robbie Davis, then urinated into the fakey just before the test was administered, with Lamar then strapping it on and peeing into a cup. It worked.
Reags blogged this a while ago, but I can’t help but I laugh every time I read the phrase, “giant rubber black c–k”. We get it, you have a big dick.
There were other moments in the article listed out that I almost included but decided against it. Like the time he was so high on ecstasy he started punching holes in the walls because he thought people had bugged his man cave with microphones. Then there was the Dennis Hoff story which Keith blogged yesterday.
Again, all these stories are unconfirmed, but they’re still wild to think about how this guy was living two lives. An NBA champion by day and an absolute lunatic by night. It’s just as sad as it is interesting. Hopefully he gets the peace of mind he’s looking for.
