Lamar Odom slams TMZ for covering black and white celebrities differently

This past week, TMZ was put on notice that Lamar Odom has had enough.

This past week, TMZ was put on notice that Lamar Odom has had enough.

Thursday, the popular entertainment news site published a video entitled, “Lamar Odom — Life Has Spiraled Out of Control,” the latest of many pieces posted to highlight the NBA player’s fall from grace since becoming estranged from his wife, Khloe Kardashian.

While Odom has undoubtedly hit hard times the last couple years, he’s remained relatively silent while the media speculated about everything from his career to the demise of his relationship and alleged drug problems.

That is, until now.

In this latest encounter with TMZ, Odom slammed the site not just for the way they’ve treated him but also for the disparity between how they treat celebrities of color versus other A listers.

“You all have discredited me. Beat me down. Took my confidence. Took everything away from me. You will not do it again.” Odom is seen saying to the camera man. “I know what your company is about, and I know what they doing to brothers. I know whatcha y’all doing to the rappers. I know you want them beefing. I know you want them arguing. Y’all don’t do Leo [DiCaprio] like that. You don’t do Brad [Pitt] like that. Y’all don’t do them like that.”
