Lamar Odom Exposes His Father's Heroin Addiction + Toni Braxton Still Thinking About PLAYBOY?!

Apr 11 | by _YBF

The Kardashian family has always been very forthcoming with their dirty laundry and family spats, and now they have brought Lamar Odom into the fold. During his show's series premiere last night, Lamar opened up about his hard childhood and revealed that his father was a heroin addict.

Get the deets inside if you missed it, and find out if Toni Braxton is posing for Playboy.

Because Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian only had a 30-day courtship, we find out via their new reality show "Khloe and Lamar" that the couple still has A LOT to learn about each other. And one very troubling point in Lamar's past was his childhood, which he opens up about to wife Khloe.

'I had my mother around until I was 12 years old when she passed away and after that my father wasn’t around.'

'I witnessed things that a 10-year-old definitely wasn’t supposed to see… It’s hard for me to speak up on it and get it through to Khloe because she grew up so different.'

Lamar is referring to his relationship with his father who was a heroin addict. And in true reality tv form, Lamar's father made an appearance on last night's season premiere of "Khloe & Lamar." And while you hope he wants to start over with Lamar, he eventually turns the conversation towards money and tickets tot he Laker game, and you can see Lamar's pain. Sigh.......

Watch a clip here:

In other tv news:

Toni Braxton stopped by "The Wendy Williams Show" recently to dish on her new reality series "Braxton Family Values," her debt (she owes the IRS $500K), and her upcoming Playboy spread.

Toni said the magazine approached her about appearing nude and she is strongly considering it. They offered her $100,000 for the pics.

Toni told Wendy she is still making a decision because she doesn't want kids on the playground to tease her sons about seeing their mama's tig ol bitties. And Wendy gives her some advice as well.

What do you think....should Toni drop trou for the mag?

Are you.. no I will re-phrase

Are you.. no I will re-phrase that. YOU ARE THE MOST IGNORANT person. White media? Black men crying like babies. I'm white, husband Native American.. I commend Khloe and Lamar. Ya know if one teen seen that episode or one person felt maybe they were not the only one who grew up with a junkie for a father. Look at where Lamar came from. Look where he is now. And a wonderful caring man with a heart. The production of Khloe and Lamar is funny, raw, and no hiding behing cameras.. To put your pain out there. Why the help didnt you post your real name e mail. Prob smart because this "honkey" would beat tour ignorant arse.. What a idiot.. Oh yeah obviously you aRch the show to know all this.. Ignorant racist jerk!!!!!! White media...

Well, his father is who he

Well, his father is who he is. I feel sorry for Lamar on what he had to go through. That is why he is better off with his wife, brother-in-law, and the rest of the people in his life. In fact, he has Khloe and her family as his new family. Forget his father. He is better off without him.

what is really wrong with

what is really wrong with ya'll I'm so sick of the angry black woman role. he got money and got a white girl blah blah blah who the hell cares. what you should care about is he is trying to have a family and set an example. Care that he came from terrible circumstances, but survived and became successful. he dont owe his dad a damn thing b/c guess what kids dont ask to be here. and didnt his grandmother raise him anyway? he said his dad had demons. you guys know how many kids have come up and are still being raised in households with drug addicts. ya'll mad at him; the problem is the damn absent father, drugs, drug dealers. is we keep trying to bury the ugly shit that happens in our community to look good we will forever have ugly shit in our community.

I agree with you regarding

I agree with you regarding the comments these people make. Lamar does not owe his father anything. Where was his dad when he needed him the most? Too busy being a deadbeat. He never came on the phone and say how are you doing son, instead he proceeded to beg and complain about what he needs. He needs to grow the hell up learn to be a man, get a damn job and stop depending on his son. If Lamar wasn't an NBA player, then who would be taking care of him? Half of y'all that are speaking are hypocrites because if the shoe was on the other I am pretty sure you guys would feel the same way. You guys need to stop worrying about Lamar and learn the first order of business, which is to mind your own business.

Everything you said is true.

Everything you said is true. however, Kloe's brother Rob is a deadbeat who Lamar is taking care of. How come that's not an issue? He don't owe no one anything. But if you are going to put your family on blast, put her's on blast as well. I believe Khloe and Lamar realized they made a mistake by putting his father on blast because I saw them on the Ellen show and they cleaned it up. So you are right he doesn't owe his father anything but respect. The same respect he show his squeaky clean image in-laws who loves him so much and can do no wrong peace and blessings.

So Lamar, since you've met

So Lamar, since you've met some "good' ole white folks that are using you for tickets, your home, celebrity status and money, your family isn't good enough... God does not bless those who don't honor their mother and FATHER, no matter what mistakes they made in the past! You're taking care of a low life "ROB" whose never been without and now doesn't know how to be independant, but you're mad because your father asks for money... I mean come on...Sure, he's your father and he should be the one that you go to with problems, but unfortunately he needs you...If you don't want to give him money, find other ways to help him, but airing out your father's dirty laundry on national TV...That totally sucks!!!! Just let the world know that you're just another poor black child that had a bad family growing up and got saved by the white folk! LOL...Sad...I used to like Lamar, but damn, this is so left field... get it together... Plus, you should never expect a spoiled brat like Kloe to get it because she had 2 fathers with $$$$, so she never had to deal with a family member in real need...Rob is just a leach! Toni: Loves you and always have, but playboy needs to step up their game on that $100 G's...that's it!!!! Tell them NO...Don't even think about it any more...

I was totally upset with

I was totally upset with Lamar. What an idiot. Everytime our blk men get $$$ they think they made it. The first thing they do is go and give their money right back. How can he put his father on blast.Regardless of his addiction and have Khloe and his bff talk about how his father is always begging. The Kardhasian are doing the same thing. Rob Kardashian is living with them. Lamar is taking care of him,,why is it an issue to take care of his father. Rob can live with his parents,,they live right around the corner in a big house just the four of them. Because Bruce put that ass out because he got tired of him being a loaf. You see all the Kardashians at the Lakers game. They were never their before because they couldn't get free tickets. But since Lamar is apart of their fam,,you see the whole klan. Stop talking about your father idiot. Because here family begging and taking your money and it's not an issue. They have a key to your house and enter whenever they want to, the brother living off of you and it's not a problem. SMDH at negros

#1-Lamar should MAN-Up for

#1-Lamar should MAN-Up for once and know when to STFU. I don't doubt that his childhood was traumatic but he's only perpetuating the belief that all black-folks grow up poor and with drug-addicted and/or irresponsible parents.; so when they make $10 they gravitate toward wonderful white people, white women especially. I do believe that he loves Khloe but she's immature, privileged and cannot relate to what he's saying at all. Damn--not every black athlete or star grew up in the hood, or with irresponsible/addicted parents. SMH... #2-Toni Braxton is obviously both broke and in the midst of a mid-life crisis. She's doing the TV show for the money. Ok-I get that: but the lil-bitty outfits ALL the time point to a midlife crisis. She should never consider doing Playboy: and being excited about a $100K offer tells me she's desperate--those no-name white girls get hundreds of thousands: Kim K got close to a mil didn't she? I mean damn--if she's willing to do it--which I don't support--she should get at least half-a mil. The fact that she's even considering going nude for $100K is ridiculous to me.

Kim Kardashian didn't get

Kim Kardashian didn't get anywhere CLOSE to a million $$$ for Playboy! (You must be thinking of the sex tape.) They pay $100,000 for a centerfold/cover, though celebs can get up to $250,000. Ladies pose nude for so little money because they anticipate other financial opportunities to arise from the attention.

@Godiva-Diva i so agree with your comment about Lamar. He put his father on blast showing how he is always begging but yet he can have Rob Kardashian living with him. Rob does not have a job and Lamar is taking care of him. Bruce put him out because he is lazy and Captain Negro takes him in and call him his little brother. I was starting to like them being married but that show made me so upset.

IDK why Toni is playin'

IDK why Toni is playin' herself lately. A reality show, Playboy? She always seemed to have more class than that. But, I guess the money has to be repaid so she's gotta do what she can. It would've been nice if she could've reprised that Vegas show-cause I would've definitely made an effort to see it, as I'm sure others would've. That girl had some hits.

I feel that Lamar should

I feel that Lamar should leave that part of his life out of the show. That is too personally. When Black people are in the public eye it is important to keep our private life as private as possible because we are viewed differently than people of a particular race. We are already looked down upon as a people so it is important that we depict ourselves in a manner that is real but we keep certain aspects of our lives to ourselves.

Well, whathadhappened

Well, whathadhappened was---TB got sick & couldn't fufill her yearlong contract in Vegas. Meanwhile, all these big performers take out insurance for just such a situation. Well, TB's insurance company denied her claim on the basis of she had a pre-existing condition that wasn't disclosed. So, she ended up on the hook financially for the cancellations. In this last instance of bankruptcy, I don't blame her; I blame her "people". She should have had better people---doctors, lawyers, etc.---to make sure those insurance forms were filled out right. I mean, the woman has a history of medical problems; this wasn't exactly a shock. She's so beautiful, talented & bright. I wish her luck! Add me to the "Don't Do It, Toni!" list!!! These white girls can release sex tapes & do Playboy & get paid. But when a sista does it she's considered a hoe.

Great advice Wendy, I had no idea that Wendy could be that rational. If Toni does this, she would really look desperate for attention to remain relevant or to at least become relevant again. hopefully the reality show will put the radar that she's looking for on her again.
