Fucking Jesse Jackson, man. Guy is a downright liar.

This dude...

Isn't that how Jim Belushi died?

John Belushi, and no he took a lot of cocaine and heroin together, though I'm sure alcohol was involved.

 

[The Sarcastic Dude]

Damn. Hope he pulls through.

 

[17 Seconds]

Stop talking out your ass. From what I read, they're the only ones at the hospital. That's after his drug abuse, they're divorce, and his stalking of her. Khloe Kardashian is a good person, but it's so much easier to pass judgement from the outside.

oh, but you're on the inside, and you know that she's a good person?

wow@ the TMZ comment section, why did I scroll down to read them!?

Man...

Fucking hell, I hope he can pull through.

 

[Devilgunman]

Why are you people arguing about Kardashian here? Lamar is fcking fighting for his life. Have some respect.

 

[MC Safety]

I read the Yahoo story and it cites a source from E! News who says, " “Virtually every drug imaginable was found in his system."

That would be the most awesome quote ever if the circumstances weren't so tragic.

You poor soul.

 

[E92 M3]

Isn't that how Jim Belushi died?

As pointed out earlier, it was heroine and cocaine directly injected. Our organ system can take a lot, but sometimes it's just too much.

 

[bud23]

Really sad.

Hope he pulls through.

 

[chekhonte]

Losing consciousness and staying unconscious is a really bad sign especially if the medical team says it doesn't look good. My guess would be stimulant induced stroke or heart attack that starved his brain of O2 for long enough to cause damage.

Real bad times.

 

[mckmas8808]

That's exactly what you're doing. There's no other reason to bring that stuff up. Just because he's done bad things doesn't mean we should feel less sorry for him. Come on, man.

But we can't blame the Kardashian family either.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Damn. the stories keep getting worse and worse.


I hope he can recover from this

 

[Vire]

Any updates on his condition?

 

[Ensirius]

This doesn't look good.
Hope he pulls through.

 

[PadWarrior]

Man

 

[Social]

This doesn't look good.
Hope he pulls through.

As a vegetable? Rather die tbh

 

[YoungHav]

Why are y'all arguing over 3rd party relationships of people y'all dunno? Khloe doesn't care about his cheating right now so why should you?

 

[bluelightningduo]

All she cares about are the ratings.

Who's doing this?

 

[Hypemaster]

I'm sure he/she means make it back out conscious and healthy.

 

[Boke1879]

The only thing I'll say about the Kardashians. Khloe did the right thing going to see him. She was married to him and I'm sure she loved him at one point.

It's the mother I take issue with. If she really had the cameras crews at the hospital then that's disgusting. She seems more of a manager than a mother to these girls

 

[MIMIC]

TMZ: Hospital Witnesses Claim Evidence of Cocaine, Track Marks

This is almost identical to what happened last week on "How to Get Away with Murder"

This is a serious mental health issue, and the fact anybody connected enough to be visiting him in the hospital is interfacing and inviting the media in while he's still fighting for his life---it's just not an enjoyable thought. People needed to discuss how to support and treat this man's mental ailments, instead of making a circus act out of his premature end to a career, failed marriage, and drug abuse. This man needed real help long before this.

TMZ is reporting he has a 50/50 chance of surviving.

The same way everything in the world works. Money.

TMZ doesn't care. Everything has a price.

As usual. I remember some people got in big trouble because of the Brittany 5150 way back.

I have to believe it is mostly bullshit, because no doctor would disclose this much information to people that aren't Odom's immediate family.

What about nurses there?

you wouldn't think it but they're considered pretty credible for how sleazy they seem. I trust them over CNN when it comes to breaking news, for example.

better odds than I would have guessed. good docs at that hospital.

They're good at being sleazy, that's for sure.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Adam Schefter literally posted Jason Pierre-Paul's medical records and broke the story that his finger was amputated.

This information isn't exclusive to the doctor. It touches multiple hands.

 

[FStop7]

Don't forget the way TMZ shit the bed by reporting that Lil Wayne was dead, then near death, then doing OK, then doing cartwheels in his hospital room with a light sniffle.

 

[javie3d]

50/50? thats crazy :/

 

[Gully State]

Nurses, pharmacists, any other healthcare provider etc... and at some institutions, administrators as well.

 

[SillyEskimo]

What about nurses there?

Or any number of people from registration clerks, lab techs, dietary, to medical records, insurance, and billing. A patients information passes through many, many hands.

If the hospital has an EHR, 2 clicks on a mouse will let administrative staff know every person that has looked and the chart. Those who don't belong get fired. It's happened with celebs in the past.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

News outlets get information wrong all the time (see any mass shooting over the past couple of years).

TMZ in general is very accurate.

They got hands everywhere, and money. It's crazy.
But yeah, TMZ is really accurate for the most part.

 

[Japanmanx3]

Sigh...man...poor dude. I used to be a Lakers fan so this has been hurting me since it was announced... Hope he makes it.

I don't think its the nurses because they money they would get for leaking it is way less than they would get paid for these details. They would have to risk their careers & nursing license for a small amount of money to the tabloids. I suspect the Kardashians are leaking small amounts of info for the money.

 

[trephine]

Thanks for helping the Lakers get a chip in 08 Odom,get better man

The Kardashians need the money way less than any nurse.
