It seems like dating a Kardashian is a recipe for disaster. A few months after former NBA star Lamar Odom barely survived an overdose inside a Las Vegas brothel, Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney Kardashian’s three children, said that he would have committed suicide if it weren’t for his kids.
“If I didn’t have those kids I would kill myself,” Disick tearfully told the Kardashian clan on the latest episode of “Keeping Up With The Kardashian.” “But I have them, and I’m going to be here. And I’m going to make it right for them.”
Khloe Spent New Years With James Harden, Not Lamar Odom
Disick has struggled for years with alcohol abuse, and is no longer in a relationship with Kourtney. Odom’s downward spiral sounds similar. Odom had his own bouts with drug addiction, and preparing to get a divorce from Khloe Kardashian when he overdosed on what was a reportedly a mixture of cocaine and “herbal Viagra” that left him in a coma.
Odom has been hospitalized since his near-death experience in October, and as recently as December was still struggling to speak and walk. It has been a stunning fall from the top of the NBA, but Odom and Disick are far from the first people to be worse off after getting involved with a Kardashian.
Lamar Finally Over Khloe, Focused On Getting Well
Wizards forward Kris Humphries was one of the NBA’s most reviled players for several years after his embarrassingly short marriage to Kim Kardashian, WR Miles Austin’s final 1,000-yard season was in 2010, after dating her, and RB Reggie Bush scored one touchdown in 2010, his final year of dating her.
Even now Khloe’s relationship with Rockets SG James Harden has been pointed to as a reason the runner-up for MVP last year is struggling with efficiency, and his team is clawing for a bottom-tier playoff spot.
Dating a Kardashian may be good for a short boost in popularity, but in the long run, it seems effects can come close to fatal.
