Just earlier this month (August 12th to be exact), Lamar Odom: former (slash) estranged, hubby of Khloe Kardashian, was caught out there when [what looked like] him rolling up on and ambushing Khloe after she came from the gym in Hollywood.
Witnesses at the scene threatened to call the police but Lamar cried foul and claimed Khloe set the whole thing up.
First on the scene was TMZ cameraman (and we all know my guy Harvey over there is chums with Kris Jenner-Khloe’s mom, so it was nothing to have him out there on the scene).
At any rate, in an angry rant, Lamar accused TMZ of racism and notated how TMZ never rolls up on and with their exposes’ of the Bad’s and Leo’s and such-just the rappers and ballplayers. As well Lamar threatened to expose Kardashian secrets if Khloe didn’t clean up this little mess he claimed she set up [to have him out there looking stupid, aggressive and desperate].
Before the video was cut short on all that…(since it circulated on August 13)…Lamar pointed out that the only way he had knowledge of exactly where Khloe was, as through communication—the two of them communicating (about Khloe’s location at this gym—at 6:45 a.m.)
Fast forward and low and behold….
Whatever happened on the scene (her histrionics and going “Hollywood” on him-by giving off the perfect improvisation impression that his presence caught her by surprise); it will soon be seen in its entirety on this upcoming season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
Insiders tell Radar Online:
“After a picture of the incident was published, Lamar obviously got very upset. He has also learned that this is going to be part of Khloe’s drama on the next season of KUWTK and it makes Lamar sick that she betrayed him.”
Odom was “stunned by her reaction at the gym last week,” the source said. “Lamar would never hurt Khloe, and it’s absolutely insane that she overreacted. This isn’t the Khloe that Lamar was married to.”
There’s a lesson in this, and this is that [lesson]:
I don’t give a sh/t how rich and/or famous. Modest, middle, or broke (or what, if any kind of history you have with a person); under NO uncertain terms is it good to deal with, hang out with, or associate oneself with somebody who will do anything for “something.”
I’ll repeat (because I didn’t say: that will do “something” for nothing) But rather, again: under NO uncertain terms is it good to deal with, hang out with, or associate oneself with somebody who will do anything for “something.”
The ugly in that is that no one (rich to poor) is exempt from that.
The beauty in that: Your peace, pride, and dignity intact in steering clear of people like that-because they don’t play fair when there’s no war.
At any rate, the fact of the matter is: Having limits and boundaries is the only principle. The only righteous and real friend you have in life is a person with boundaries and principles.
Even your worst enemy (who hates your guts) could have boundaries and principles and that is still better for you in the distance than a former lover or friend close to you who doesn’t [have boundaries and principles]. I promise you this.
Because why? People who will do anything for “something” will have your tail caught out there, caught up and/or messed up [for whatever that “something” was worth to them] with no regard for what kind of position or circumstance they put you or others around, in.
How to remedy, and rid yourself of people like that (to avoid being caught out there)?
It simple.
- Examine what they are doing with themselves and their lives
- Examine how (the means) by which they are doing it (and multiply it by scruples, morals and what, if any personal boundaries they have)
- What are their goals and end game in this life and lifetime?
- Examine WHAT they are willing to sacrifice for #3 (observe to make sure they don’t have the propensity or desire to make that “what” a “who”…pay attention to the fact that I said “what” not: “who…)
It’s all a matter of principles and boundaries.
Principled people with boundaries will cash in (rather than sell out) for a big payoff for themselves if it means it will put them[selves]-their person or character, in a less than redeemable light, or if it is bad for the greater good and all involved (even if they don’t like the subject or person).
In the game of life (especially with “fame” and money being high on the priorities of many people’s list today) if you are putting yourself in the COMPANY of anybody without principles and boundaries on what they would and would not do—you are playing with fire and in troubled waters.
The fact of the matter is: you cannot EVER predict what a person will and won’t do. But you CAN predict what a person would and would not do based on how they are hell bent they are on not making THEMSELVES looked at in a less than redeemable light or certain way due to a scandalous or unscrupulous (or selfish) act.
And a principled person is about all you have to work with in that regard. And they don’t even have to like you. They just have respect for themselves and boundaries on what they would and would not do and would rather die than be caught do anything for “something” (at the expense of somebody that could live to tell the world about it).
What’s unfortunate about Lamar’s situation in this, should that really be what Khloe did, is that (given his situation-on record for having been on drugs), he’s any easy target and scapegoat to rake across the coals. And that’s very sad and unfortunate that someone would take advantage of-because few will come to his aid or defense (given that very situation).
