Only a few months ago, observers felt Lamar Odom and Karlie Redd would make a cute couple if they started dating.
That doesn’t appear to be the case any longer. Not after the social media battle of words that erupted.
Odom and Redd’s friendship ruptured this week, according to celebrity blogger Love B. Scott, after fans began pestering Redd about the possibility of dating Odom. When Odom was seen in Atlanta in April with his arm over Redd’s shoulder as they rocked left and right to the music, they seemed at ease with each other.
“It would have never worked because He Needs Rehab Not A Relationship or A Situationship!” the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” star answered on Twitter, perhaps tired of fielding such questions: “It would have never worked because He Needs Rehab Not A Relationship . A Situationship!”
Soon after Redd sent that strange tweet, a hurt and puzzled Odom discovered what she had said and pursued her like a torpedo.
“Anything to stay relevant,” he barked at Redd on an Instagram post on Wednesday, July 7. “I generally do not address this type of message but cmon’ @iamkarlieredd what is this about?”
“Listen me being in recovery is no secret. I’ve made some amazing strides and I no longer do drugs #FACTS,” Odom continued. “But I do need rehab, I need to be rehabilitated from my attraction to TOXIC, BITTER, UNHEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS with women who need therapy more than they need me!”
Odom then leveled the ultimate insult. “Now I’m not going to go low like you’re doing, take jabs, tell lies because at the end of the day I was married to a Kardashian so anything less than that is like going from sugar to s—.”
