So is Lamar Odom on good terms with the Kardashians after all? That's what the new rumor seems to be, as there's a report that says the former NBA star is not upset at all with Khloe Kardashian for releasing photos of him while he was hospitalized late last year. In fact, sources close to Odom say that he has even defended Kardashian's actions, saying that the pictures in question has actually helped him in his recovery process.

Even though Kardashian herself has received quite the public backlash for releasing photos of her ex-husband laying in a hospital bed after he nearly overdosed during a three-day drug binge at a Nevada brothel last October, Odom isn't upset. Well, that's if you want to believe a tipster who is supposedly close to him. The hospital photos were featured on a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

"Lamar's not tripping on those photographs. It is what it is," a source tells HollywoodLife.com. "That's what really happened to him and those images are part of his journey to a full recovery. Lamar pushed Khloe to put those images out there because it's a reminder of how close he was to death."

The insider added, "Lamar may not be the most outspoken public figure, but he does hope that people out there who see him clinging to life in those images think twice before making a decision that could land them in that hospital bed."

Even though the ex-couple initially pulled plug on their marriage back in December of 2013, they have not finalized their divorce just yet.
