AceShowbiz - Lamar Odom's father Joe Odom reveals to Page Six that he was booted from his house in Los Angeles and forced to move back to Brooklyn after Khloe Kardashian refused to keep paying his rent. The 62-year-old man claims his daughter-in-law didn't even tell him about it.
"Khloe didn't even have the guts to tell me herself that my rent wasn't going to be paid anymore," Joe says, "She got the guys who handle Lamar's money to call me and they said the rent wouldn't be paid, I gotta move and my phone was going to get cut off."
Lamar had paid his disabled father's $4,000 rent for 10 years until Khloe reportedly kicked Joe and his wife Cecelia last November. "She disrespected me. She decided to kick me out of my home when Lamar was in hospital in Nevada," Joe claims.
He continues, "I just wish I could be at his side in LA to support him, but Khloe doesn't want me there. Whenever I call him, she answers. She must be checking his texts, too. I can't always get through to him anymore. She may be Lamar's wife, but I'm his father. She shouldn't have cut me out of his life like she has."
Joe says he was finally able to contact Lamar last week. He is concerned about his son after he was spotted drinking alcohol in an L.A. pub last month. He says, "Drinking is a slippery slope to all kinds of vices, and I want Lamar to stay away from it. It won't help his recovery. I'm praying he makes it, of course."
Khloe's representative hasn't commented on the report yet.
Lamar is attending daily rehab at Cedars Sinai Medical Center while he recovers from severe kidney damage from his three-day bender.
