While Lamar Odom has been in the hospital recuperating from the reported drug overdose and coma that nearly claimed his life, the Kardashian family has been visiting him regularly to keep his spirits up. And his wife, Khloe Kardashian, has been by his bedside the entire time. However, one person who allegedly hasn’t visited Odom is his dad, Joe Odom, and now Joe is speaking out and claiming that Khloe is keeping him from his son.
Joe was recently spotted by TMZ outside of the L.A. hospital where Odom is being treated and he told the site he’s angry that he hasn’t been able to see his son.
“I’m mad. I’m upset because this is the second time I came to see my son and they won’t let me see my son. It’s a lot of sabotage things going on,” Joe said. “Why can’t I see my son? I brung [sic] him in the world!”
When the photographer asked Joe what the problem is, Joe claimed, “They said I’m not on the visitors’ list.”
Joe claimed that Khloe is in charge of the visitors list, but when asked if Khloe has a problem with him, he claimed he’s not sure.
“When I was in Vegas, I saw my son every other day. Every day. I had no problem seeing my son,” Joe said, adding that he’s tried reaching out to Khloe. “I’ve tried reaching out to everybody. That’s why I’m [reaching out to] her now and it’s pissing me off.”
As fans of “Khloe & Lamar” may remember, Odom has had a tumultuous relationship over the years with his dad, who is a former drug addict. Joe has also publicly bashed Khloe in the past, saying that he wished his son had never married her and that the Kardashians are a bad influence on his son.
Joe’s complaints didn’t end there either. He then claimed that he doesn’t even know how his son is doing in the hospital.
“I can’t really say anything ‘cause I haven’t seen him in four days,” Joe said, “They won’t let me come in ten feet of him.”
Khloe hasn’t yet responded to Joe’s claims but it looks like this situation could get even messier over the next few days if Joe and Khloe end up feuding.
