A clip of Lamar Odom speaking candidly about his terrifying drug overdose last year has been released ahead of an upcoming special on The Doctors.
Just days after entering a rehab facility in San Diego, California, the 37-year-old former husband of Khloe Kardashian opened up about his near-fatal overdose in a Nevada brothel last October that left him in a coma.
Asked what is his last memory before waking up in hospital,Lamar says: ‘Being in that damn brothel and thinking I was going to just rest a little bit.
‘I wasn’t in a good place mentally, especially mentally, before that incident happened.’
The former NBA star appeared to well up as she continued, ‘Me and my wife at the time were going through some things. I was in a dark place.’
A rep confirmed Lamar’s entry into rehab earlier this week with a statement to Us Weekly saying:
‘After consulting with his family and friends, and meeting with Dr. Travis Stork of The Doctors, he has decided it is best he take time to focus on himself.
‘He is dedicated to leading a healthy lifestyle and being the best father he can be to his children’.
