Lamar Odom Uses Twitter to Defend Kardashians, Slam Father
For the first time in more than two tumultuous months, Lamar Odom, 33, has publically addressed his current situation regarding his wife and his alleged drug use.
The husband to Khloe Kardashian, 29, and former NBA star tweeted last night to defend his wife's family against his estranged father Joe Odom, who spoke to media earlier in the week, blaming the Kardashians for his son's woes.
"I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of s***. He wasn't there 2 raise me. He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me," he wrote. "For the first time since they left, came a blessing of a FAMILY that I married into. FAMILY. That man wasn't even invited to my wedding."
Odom, who was arrested for suspicion of DUI on Aug. 30, continued that his father hasn't even met his mother-in-law Kris Jenner.

Odom has said on his and his wife's reality show "Khloe & Lamar" that his father Joe Odom is a drug addict.
"He is my downfall!" he said. "His own demons may be the ONLY thing he gave 2 me."
