Khloe Kardashian talked about her estranged husband's condition in a recent Lamar Odom news update.
Entertainment Weekly reported that the "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star opened up about Lamar Odom's hospitalization on an episode of "The Howard Stern Show." She revealed that the former NBA star's substance abuse issues were "what prompted [their] divorce."
Lamar Odom was found unconscious at the Love Ranch brothel in Las Vegas last October. News outlets confirmed that the former NBA star used cocaine along with heaps of "herbal Viagra."
Last month, Lamar Odom news confirmed that the NBA star's condition has improved but he still is struggling with memory loss. A source said that the former Laker player's health has been getting better and better.
Recently, it was reported that the former NBA star is recuperating well and will be moving to a live-in rehabilitation center soon.
Meanwhile, Khloe Kardashian admitted that she "never wanted this to happen... But I've always feared this would happen."
She also revealed that helping her estranged husband includes protecting him from what the media was saying about his overdose. "One day I came in, and he was Googling 'Lamar Odom overdose," she said.
"I grabbed the iPad, I said, 'What the f--- are you doing? I've been trying to protect you ... I have to remember, he has no idea what people know."
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star discussed how Lamar Odom's health went from better to worse in a report by Yahoo! "When he first woke up out of his coma, he was way more aware," Khloe told Stern.
"He then regressed - once he transferred to L.A., he regressed greatly, where he stopped talking completely and everything. Very scary. But when he first woke up, he was like, 'Hi!' almost like he woke up from a nap. It was so bizarre at first."
