Lamar Odom is furiously denying reports that he's ambushing his ex-wife Khloé Kardashian outside SoulCycle in the grainy photograph TMZ posted yesterday. Sources told TMZ that they'd witnessed a confrontation between the two during which Kardashian appeared unclear as to how Odom knew her whereabouts. She also allegedly screamed when Odom tried to touch her arm. Kardashian reportedly drove away before the authorities could be called.
Early this morning, TMZ posted a video in which Lamar Odom says that the meeting at SoulCycle was not a confrontation, but a prearranged meeting. "I am not, not, not the person that they're trying to make me out to be...I live in Las Vegas. Was there an address or a place given, or I just guessed right?...You know I know Khloé personally, so how do you think I ended up there? It's hard for me to keep my composure...the dog has to fight back....Nobody got followed, nobody got hassled, nobody got harassed, nobody got grabbed on, none of that."
Odom then goes on to attack TMZ for meddling in his affairs, saying the site has destroyed his reputation to the point where he can no longer get a job at Home Depot. "Do not disrespect my space; do not disrespect my character...Y'all have discredited me, beat me down, took my confidence, took everything away from me. You will not do it again," he continues.
He went on to accuse TMZ of instigating feuds between certain celebrities. "I know what your company is about. I know what they're doing to brothers. I know what they doing to rappers. I know you want 'em beefing. I know you want 'em arguing. Y'all don't do Leo like that. You don't do Brad like that. You don't do them like that."
That's when the interview cuts off.
Khloé Kardashian has yet to respond to the situation on social media, instead posting a photo of a group text message with her sisters with the caption "Family over everything." Refinery29 has reached out to her for comment and will update this story as it develops. (TMZ)
