00:42:09,792 --> 00:42:13,500
he had sort of gone
down a dark path.
1062
00:42:13,625 --> 00:42:17,458
Dennis Hof told her to
get whatever Lamar needed,
1063
00:42:17,583 --> 00:42:19,707
and to try to keep him
there longer.
1064
00:42:19,708 --> 00:42:21,791
They wanted him to
spend more money.
1065
00:42:21,792 --> 00:42:24,417
There were always rumors
about his drug use.
1066
00:42:24,542 --> 00:42:26,582
But now it got
out of control
1067
00:42:26,583 --> 00:42:28,957
when he wouldn't
wake up.
1068
00:42:28,958 --> 00:42:31,042
[Deanne] Lamar was
foaming at the mouth,
1069
00:42:31,167 --> 00:42:32,874
and he was unconscious.
1070
00:42:32,875 --> 00:42:36,041
Now he's almost
dead and...
1071
00:42:36,042 --> 00:42:39,208
Dennis was taking every
interview he could.
1072
00:42:39,375 --> 00:42:40,957
[Dennis] "Are you gonna do
any media?" And I said,
1073
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:42,542
"Yes, I'm gonna go on the
Nancy Grace Show."
1074
00:42:42,708 --> 00:42:44,374
And they said,
"Please don't do that.
1075
00:42:44,375 --> 00:42:48,417
We'd rather have Khloe, uh,
say what needs to be said."
1076
00:42:48,583 --> 00:42:49,625
I told her to go to hell.
1077
00:42:50,042 --> 00:42:52,333
[Deanne] He was baiting her
with everything he could
1078
00:42:52,542 --> 00:42:54,666
so that there would
be a big media war.
1079
00:42:54,667 --> 00:42:56,749
We're going to tell you
the real story about
1080
00:42:56,750 --> 00:42:59,167
the Lamar Odom party.
1081
00:42:59,458 --> 00:43:00,958
Exactly what happened.
