Lamar Odom Claims Drugs Were Slipped Into His Drink Before 2015 Overdose

The former NBA star reflects on the near-fatal incident and his recovery, sharing his mission to help others understand addiction.

Lamar Odom stated in a recent interview that he believes drugs were unknowingly slipped into his drink the night of his 2015 overdose at a Nevada brothel.
He recalled being in a dark place following his divorce from Khloé Kardashian and admitted to planning a night of excess but denied knowingly taking drugs that evening.
Odom woke up from a three-day coma unable to walk or talk, requiring months of rehabilitation to recover from the life-threatening event.
Doctors informed him that cocaine and opiates were found in his system, though he maintains he did not knowingly consume them that night.
Now focused on helping others, Odom describes addiction as a brain disease and advocates for education and support for those struggling with substance abuse.
