IFWT_Odom

Lamar Odom’s real family, not the Kardashian’s, attempted to have an intervention for him but he wasn’t having it. Despite the fact many of his family members were ready to participate to hopefully talk to him and help him, reports say as soon as he walked into the room he turned around and walked right out.

“Extra” was told that several family members were on hand, including his aunt, JaNean Mercer; his kids; and his ex-wife Liza Morales.

Sources say Lamar’s cousin Alvina Alston reached out to Darryl Strawberry to have Lamar get on a plane to start his rehab at the Darryl Strawberry Recovery Center in St. Cloud, Florida. Ron Dock, who has counseled Darryl and is responsible for his recovery, was at the intervention, with Darryl himself reportedly joining via Skype.

Interventions are no joke so we shouldn’t jump to any type of judgement of Odom. Being confronted with all your demons by people who love you is not something that happens easily. Reports say that Odom is still in town and his family hopes to be able to get him to agree to the intervention very soon.

News of the family trying to help him comes after Lamar was reportedly drunk and vomiting and had to be removed from a Delta Air Lines flight on July 11.

I think we all hope Lamar gets any and all the help he needs while there is still time to do something about it. Salute to his family for caring enough about him to try something like this.
