Khloe Kardashian’s ex-husband, Lamar Odom, collapsed in a Los Angeles nightclub in the early hours of yesterday [5 November] morning, with eye-witnesses claiming that he’d enjoyed a night of “heavy drinking”, according to reports.

In footage obtained by TMZ, security at Bootsy Bellows on the Sunset strip can be seen picking Lamar off the floor of his VIP booth.

The person who filmed the clip claimed that the former basketball pro had been “drinking for several hours” before he slumped to the ground.

The incident comes two years after Lamar suffered a near-fatal overdose at a brothel in Nevada, with Khloe rushing to be by her ex’s side as he recovered in hospital after suffering 12 strokes and ending up in a coma.

However, Lamar’s spokesperson has insisted that this instance was not alcohol related, claiming that Lamar was “dehydrated” in the hot venue following a vigorous workout without the “necessary fluids”.

The rep added that Lamar is “doing great”, and Yahoo Celeb UK have contacted them for further comment.

It was previously reported that Lamar is struggling to cope after it was reported that Khloe is pregnant with her first baby with new boyfriend Tristan Thompson.

Khloe is yet to confirm or deny the reports, but a source told The Sun: “Everyone’s concerned that Lamar is partying way too much.

“He’s been really down since finding out about Khloe’s pregnancy. He’d always say things like, ‘Khloe is still my wife’, even after the divorce, but now, this is proof she’s moved on and isn’t coming back.

“Everyone’s worried this could send him off on another bender.”

Lamar and Khloe tied the knot in 2009 before Khloe filed for divorce in 2013 after he allegedly cheated on her with strippers.
