Times have not been easy for Lamar Odom in these last few months. With a rumored slip back into drug use and some obvious problems with his wife and reality star, Khloe Kardashian, the troubled basketball star is hitting a very rough patch. He was missing for a few months with speculation being he may have fallen back into some of his former habits. Well, with nowhere left to turn and feeling more alone than ever, seems Lamar is turning his attention towards the OTHER member of his Kardashian family who seems like they’ve been pushed out lately, too. I am of course speaking of Bruce Jenner.

TMZ broke the story earlier today, but it seems Lamar Odom and Bruce Jenner have been spending some time together in Malibu lately. The rumor is that Jenner is actually really helping Lamar through these troubled times right now. He also says, despite what people are thinking to the contrary, Lamar Odom is alcohol and drug free right now and simply needs some guidance. Bruce seems more than happy to provide Lamar with that counseling he needs right now.

With rumors that his marriage is on the rocks, that he may have been cheating, and that he may have relapsed, Lamar Odom needs all the help he can get right now. If it is Bruce Jenner giving him that help and strength, we commend them both and wish them both the best.

Heck knows we would probably do the same thing is we were stuck in the Kardashian’s world. Just saying.
