The matriarch wants to keep Lamar on her shows and doesn’t care if it comes at the cost of his basketball stardom, HollywoodLife.com can EXCLUSIVELY report. Do YOU think his career is doomed?
Kris Jenner is trying desperately to keep her reality empire intact, and she doesn’t want to lose Khloe Kardashian‘s husband Lamar Odom from her stable of stars — even if it causes him to be kicked out of the NBA forever!
Kris, 56, is pushing Lamar, 32, too hard, sources close to the family tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.
“Kris is eager for Khloe and Lamar to do another season of their reality show, but Khloe has been telling her that she is not sure yet,” a friend close to the family tells us. “She doesn’t want to push Lamar into doing anything he doesn’t want to do, because she knows it will only backfire. Kris thinks doing another season will help their relationship, but the real reason she wants them to do another season of Khloe & Lamar is because she thinks the show keeps them relevant. Plus, if Lamar doesn’t get picked up for the NBA, the focus of the next season can be about them starting a family and undergoing infertility treatments.”
Unfortunately, NBA insiders tell HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY that Lamar’s reality stardom could cost him his basketball career for good.
“Lamar should get the shows out of his system now, because nobody wants to deal with the headache it will bring to the locker room if a team signed him,” sources say. “Teams have to deal with enough, and these outside distractions will not be welcomed. Teams are now worrying about younger and cheaper players that are not headcases who do reality shows — they are against it.”
Do YOU think Lamar should quit reality TV, HollywoodLifers?

Don’t understand why this almost kris Jenner an almost 60 years old woman wants to be everywhere in her children lives and make money out of them. She should just chill out and take care of her husband and play with her grandson. It must have been an ill advices to Kim that she speedily plunge into the divorce mode.
Leave yours girls alone to mess up or make great of their marriage. You are too old to hang around your already old daughters.

Hey Kris – stay out of your grown children’s life. Allow Lamar and Khole to enjoy the ups and down of married life.

For ten years I was in a relationship. We never used binthcortrol of any kind. Never had any surprise then I meet my husband I started eating healthy, cut caffeen, sofas, excess sugars, & eat more veggies & fruits. First time was it. Some people told me it had to do with our blood types but I think my hormones changed & the healthy eating & citing out the crap had to help too.

He already attacked a child over an award she worked hard for. The President Obama still think Kanye is an a**hole. He abused is 2 girlfriends and one has already came out in the media an stated Kanye cheated on her repeatly with Kim. Kanye never has came out publicly denying these claims nor Kim because they know it is the truth. Supposely when Kim arrived at Kanye place he wanted her to join him with a blonde model but she declined. Kim told staff to leave the room and only said no because she was not in the mood. I thought he loved her so why is he treating her like a common wh#re.

Let’s face facts. Khloe and Lamar seem to love each other. But look at all the other celebrity couples who have had a reality tv show and gotten a divorce. I think they both need to leave reality television and focus on their marriage and whatever else they want.

I think Lamar has already chosen and it has nothing to do with Kris Jenner. Already in the past week, he has been photographed publicly twice with the Kardashians. If he was really concerned about his basketball career and being taken seriously, he wouldn’t be breaking his neck to be out there. I suspect that he’s lazy and unprofessional hence the Mavericks wouldn’t have released him. He’s caught up in this lifestyle. He’s not handsome but it must be intoxicating to have the paparazzi following him every where.

I hope this is not true, and that Lamar still wants to play basketball. I feel he should step away from reality TV so he can focus on the game, and hopefully get picked up by another team. Khloe should do everything she can not to be a distraction. I don’t think I could stomach watching a reality with Khloe and Lamar if he were not playing. But maybe he could get a job coaching high school kids? Or does he think he’s above that? I don’t know, but for him not to be aspiring to play, at some level, seems a real shame.

Also in light of of what is happening with the New Orleans Saints, all sports are starting to shy away from cameras that don’t need to be there and snooping media. Bad timing to bring a camera crew to film a player. Bad timing to have a player connected to mass media.
It’s hard to understand odom’s blindness to kris jenner’s lack of cosideration for his well-being and career. odom has volunteered to become the poster-child of ‘this is what happens when you do business with the kardashians’ It goes beyond career suicide, he’s completely lost his dignity.

LOL…if this story has any truth to it that might be the REAL REASON Lamar went through a meltdown and played so badly for the Mavs. He may be struggling with should he continue playing basketball even if the Lakers don’t pick him up next season him or should he quit and become a reality star…that’s just MO. He should keep his career.

Kris Humphries went through Hell because of this family and Kim . He still managed to hold his head up have a good season. He was the one this family was putting down because he was no Lamar Odom. What they did not know Hump is a survivor and a fighter. He is the real victim in this situation not Lamar. Did he once reach out to Kris an show him some support as his brother-in -law. No he did not. I believe the lockout, is main reason for the divorce and Kris wanting their private life private. Just like Kris Jenner said, Hump is only a bball player making a few million, Kanye is a multi -millionaire. Money trumps everything in the end.

I think Lamar should do what he thinks is best for him. It’s his private life and only he has to deal with things everyday. No one has the right to make that destion for him.

Yes, he has the right to decide whatever is good for him. It’s his life and no one else.

Lamar was making a lot more money with the NBA then the reality show pays him. He needs to try to get his game back and tell Kris Jenner to back off.

HEY @,
Who says he makes more playing B-ball than reality TV???? His career on TV could be longer. BTW, has he been showing you his W2? He can do it all!~

I’m sorry Kris Jenner, I’m not even going to hate you anymore. I’m going to laugh and deeply pity you. Your hunger and self gratification for fame and money is honestly disgusting. You’re ruining people’s lives with your imaginary life that you think everyone is in love with your family. You will do whatever it takes to stay relevant, and that, is honestly just sad. I can’t imagine what it must be like to live a life where the money is good, but you ruin your whole reputation and being for it. I’ll pray for you Kris, but I’ve heard that you’ve already sold your soul to the devil. Kim sextape definitely gave you an inch but you took the mile, now it’s time to pack up the Louboutins and go back to your home in the valley and be what Kendall and Kylie need, a mother. Not a momager.

Nicely stated!
Greed blinds people and, takes over their lives, which this family is the perfect example – morals be damned!
This woman personifies what a mothernever should be and, what is wrong with our young people today. No role models!
I also find the constant drumbeat in feeling sorry for Lamar pathetic; whatever happened to real ‘manhood’? Hopefully he’ll grow into a man with b*lls, or did Kris and Kloe lock them into a lockbox?

And does everyone see just how HAPPY Khloe is to be back in CA? She couldn’t wait to appear on talk shows and to start hanging out with Kim and the family…..saying….

I could not agree more, I will add one thing, I pray that Khloe loves him enough to do the right thing for them not Kris.
I will pray for them

I think Khloe will do what is best for her and Lamar and if that doesn’t include doing Khloe and Lamar, she will tell Kris where to go. Khloe has done it before and will put Kris in her place when she becomes a little too pushy. As does Kourt. Kim is the only one who seems intent on pleasing Kris at no matter the cost!

AMEN!!!!!! 100% agree with you!.. she’s a monster, she doesn’t care anybody but her stupid money and her “Fame”… she doesn’t get that actually everybody hates her and nobody likes what she do… and she’s not even an “A-list” celebrity!! she believes, she’s awesome and famous, but she’s not, if it wasn’t for Kim sex tape and cause she was Paris Hilton friend, Nobody would knew about them .. Kris Jenner is a fame-whore!

Lamar, kiss basketball goodby

Lamar, I cannot believe that you being the strong man that you are, has let this mommager and her daughter suck all the life out of you. What a shame. You have so ruined your career and your life.

Hollywood Life needs to get a life with all these LIES. First, you go and embarrass yourself with this month long crusade about Khloe and Lamar’s doomed marriage and you were proven false. Now, your next crusade is this. Reality TV is chump change for Lamar. He is NOT giving up his NBA career. And please STOP lying. NO ONE in the NBA would even speak to you. Lamar had permission to film during the season and to film the games. practices from the NBA. You have egg on your face.

Kris Jenner is gonna have Lamar just like the wimpy husband of hers. He is there for show,and nothing else, he is not respected by his kids or his wife. She talks to him like he’s a fool and the kids walk out on him when he is talking to them. She runs every body’s life. Lamar is gonna be programmed just like the rest of them . Scott is the only one who has guts enough not to let kris run his life.
