Khloe Kardashian‘s troubled ex-husband spent two days with his captors while his girlfriend — and her 2-year-old daughter — were terrorized at gunpoint! According to a source, the frightening chain of events began in Portland, Oregon in early June when Odom went to visit his then-girlfriend, Savanna Waldrop, and her family.“
Lamar has massive separation anxiety so he flew to meet her in her hometown even though she told him no and she needed to have some time alone with her family,” a source told Radar. Before he arrived Odom told Waldrop he wanted to gamble. The only problem was the former Lakers pro was broke, so he had to borrow a whopping $10,000 from some shady locals. “
Savanna set up the loan and Lamar knew he had to pay it back no matter what,” said the source. “The bookies had no idea someone famous like Lamar didn’t have the cash to pay them back. And you don’t mess with these guys.” Odom soon found out the dangerous result of his lies. “Within 20 minutes the $10,000 was gone. He gambled it all — and lost!”
After 48 hours, the frightening turn of events came to an end when Waldrop paid the men $1,500, and the star’s camp forked over $2,800 of the debt. Finally, he was freed.
Not sure I’m believing Lamar was held hostage for two days. Can I believe he’s into gambling?
Sure, he’s an addict, so that part I’m 100% buying.
Let’s just hope Lamar is staying away from the mixture drugs and alcohol, we know going down that road will most certainly put him in harm’s way.
