emerged he spent $75,000 on his four-day visit to a Las Vegas brothel.
Lamar Odom Showing Few
Signs Of Improvement
The estranged husband of
Khloe Kardashian is in a critical condition after being found unconscious at
the Love Ranch on Tuesday.
There has been no official
comment on the 35-year-old's health but police have described it as possibly
being the result of a drug-related medical episode.
Meanwhile, his wife and
the owner of brothel, Dennis Hof, have had heated exchanges over media
attention as dozens of reporters stake out the Sunrise Hospital & Medical
Center.
Kardashian's
representatives have asked Mr Hof not to speak to the press.
But he said he is troubled
by the lack of communication from the reality TV star, and dismissed her
representative's request that she do interviews instead of him. She has so far
issued no public statements.
"I know what
happened," Mr Hof said. "I'm the one protecting my business and
telling the truth about it."
Kardashian's
representative said they politely asked Mr Hof to respect their privacy.
People magazine, citing a
source close to the family, said Kardashian was given the task of making
medical decisions about Odom's treatment but was "overwhelmed" by the
unexpected responsibility.
"She had been
thinking of him as an ex, so to find out that, 'No, you have to do this,' well
that's really hard for her," the magazine quoted the source as saying.
Kardashian's mother, Kris
Jenner, posted a photo of Odom in his Lakers uniform on her Instagram account,
asking fans to "please pray for Lamar #ourfighter."
Love Ranch spokesman
Richard Hunter said Odom scheduled his brothel visit a week in advance and it
was his first ever visit.
He allegedly chose two
women to accompany him. Under Nevada law, prostitutes negotiate services and
prices privately with customers as independent contractors. Mr Hof gets 50%.
Odom spent about $75,000
for a minimum four-day stay, Mr Hof said.
The site has a five-day
maximum policy, but the owner said the sportsman talked about staying the
entire week to celebrate Mr Hof's recent birthday.
When he got to the
brothel, Odom told at least one of the women he had done a "small amount
of cocaine" that day, Mr Hunter said.
He added Odom knew the
brothel has a strict anti-drugs policy, and the only drugs anyone there saw him
take were herbal sexual performance enhancement capsules.
Mr Hunter couldn't rule
out the possibility that Odom used other substances.
"The only way that's
possible is if no one knew it and he had it completely to himself," Mr
Hunter said.
Currently a free agent,
Odom last played for the Los Angeles Clippers during the 2012-2013 season and
is no longer attached to any NBA team.
