[News] Former NBA all-star,
Lamar Odom,

00:00:22,583 --> 00:00:25,916
remains unconscious at
a hospital in Las Vegas.
3
00:00:25,917 --> 00:00:28,707
Lamar, he's just signed
his divorce papers.
4
00:00:28,708 --> 00:00:32,292
And he went to a place that
he always wanted to go to...
5
00:00:32,542 --> 00:00:34,707
Dennis Hof's Love Ranch.
6
00:00:34,708 --> 00:00:37,582
I feel like he was trying to
get over his marriage
7
00:00:37,583 --> 00:00:41,541
with Khloe, and he just
wanted some cute girls...
8
00:00:41,542 --> 00:00:44,416
to just throw him off
a little bit.
9
00:00:44,417 --> 00:00:47,083
Dennis, he gets to boast
and say he hired
10
00:00:47,208 --> 00:00:49,791
the first
transgender prostitute.
11
00:00:49,792 --> 00:00:54,041
Dennis Hof told her to
get whatever Lamar needed,
12
00:00:54,042 --> 00:00:56,375
and to try to
keep him there longer.
13
00:00:56,500 --> 00:00:58,333
They wanted him to
spend more money.
14
00:00:58,542 --> 00:01:00,791
In those time periods,
he reverted back
15
00:01:00,792 --> 00:01:02,874
to his vices...
16
00:01:02,875 --> 00:01:04,500
and the two addictions
that he's always had
17
00:01:04,667 --> 00:01:07,791
from his youth, was he was
addicted to sex,
18
00:01:07,792 --> 00:01:10,250
and he was
addicted to drugs.
19
00:01:10,458 --> 00:01:12,791

out of control...

wake up.
