Lamar Odom In Rehab: 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians' Star Gets Treatment Following DUI Arrest, Dealer Sprung Him From Jail?
Lamar Odom has reportedly checked into rehab on the heels of his DUI arrest and cheating and divorce rumors.
People reported on Thursday that two sources disclosed that he entered a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center for treatment.
The NBA free agent -- who was arrested for a DUI last week -- has allegedly been struggling with cocaine.
A source told the celebrity weekly that the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star "realized he needs help."
Odom was arrested on Aug. 30 for driving under the influence, according to TMZ. A California Highway Patrol officer reportedly saw the former Lakers player driving erratically on the San Fernando Valley Freeway.
The police report revealed that initially, when the officer tried to pull Odom over, he kept driving. It also revealed that Odom showed "objective signs of intoxication and was unable to perform field sobriety tests as explained and demonstrated." He was taken into custody at the Van Nuys jail at almost 4 a.m. There, he refused all chemical tests and was booked for investigation of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs at 5:01 a.m., CHP officials wrote. He was jailed on $15,000 bail and released Friday morning.
Radar Online reported on Sept. 5 that it was his drug dealer that received Odom's phone call and sprung him from jail. A source told the gossip site, "The sad thing is that Lamar didn't call Khloe to bail him out."
The source also slipped that the reality starlet found out about her husband's arrest from the media.
"Khloe found about his arrest by reading about it in the press and was stunned," said the insider. Kardashian is reportedly aware about Odom's "friend" and doesn't approve of them.
Odom "has been hanging around a very bad crew recently, mostly his drug dealer and various sketchy associates," said the source who added his wife has refused to allow his drug dealing friends inside their home.
The NBA free agent has admitted to past drug use. In 2001, he was suspended by the NBA twice for marijuana use when he played for the Los Angeles Clippers.
