Breaking his silence: Lamar Odom talks 'dark time'

Lamar Odom is finally speaking out following what he calls a “dark time” in his life.

The NBA baller — who reportedly has been battling an addiction to crack, was arrested for DUI late last month and is rumored to be splitting from wife Khloe Kardashian — took to Twitter this week to break his silence.

In his Twitter post, Odom said the Kardashian family has been the “ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time.”

“Only person 2 blame is myself,” he continued. “Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this!”

Odom didn’t have such kind words for his father, former heroin addict Joe Odom, who spoke out about his son following the drug allegations — and talked negatively about the Kardashian family.

“He wasn’t there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. ...,” Lamar said. “He is my downfall! His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me.”
