PrintableAll of the Kardashian's are media whores and would never give up an opportunity such as this. Now I see the divorce is off. I guess they all got together and agreed that this story will be great for ratings, so the marriage is back on. They sicken me to death. | |

Addiction is a disease, it makes me sad to read some of the responses on here calling him a fool, etc. It's unfortunate and I hope he recovers and gets himself into treatment. Nobody knows his story, nobody has walked a mile in his shoes....stop judging and be happy this isn't you.

^ I saw pure nastyness on social media, whilst he was in a hospital bed fighting 4 his life frm reported multiple strokes & liver failure. Its hard 2 read such inhumane ish when you've been at the bedside of loved ones fighting for their lives yourself. Yes, thank u, it is a disease.
I swear lots of em wanted him 2 die so they could have something to gossip about/judge the nxt day on the web/round the water cooler etc. Sickening.

I find it hard to find sympathy for cats who continue to make stupid life choices and engage in self-destructive behavior - $75k on a drug/ho binge? C'mon. | |

In the early 80's my Mum ran a rehabilitation centre for heroin user's, lots of them who had been written off saved their lives with the help from my Mum & other dedicated loving people.

while it may sound harsh, its true. We have all had trials in life and lost family members, but most people gain strength and rise above it. This guy blew 75,000 on prostitutes and drugs | |

$75000 could improve alot of folks lives...I have no sympathy for him...sorry.
Shit, he could have given that loot to his kids.
Even during his playing days, I always felt Lamar was weak-willed and soft. Fanily and friends can only do so much. This cat has to get his shit straight on his own. He won't cheat Death a second time. | |

I'm sorry but it's easy for all of us to judge on the decision he made and we can all say what he should have done/not done...but what we don't think about is WHY he made this decision. How do you know what was going on in his mind at the time? It's a sickness...when you are sick you do not make rational decisions. It's time for everyone to stop judging. I've dealt with addiction with family and friends and at the time couldn't understand why people make such horrible decisions. The easiest thing to do is disown, pass judgement, etc....but when you realize how much they were hurting inside and why they did what they did...I just hope none of you ever have to deal with that and then not have the opportunity to say I'm sorry, or try to help them.

Most people? Do you personally know these people who have gained this strength and pulled through....because there are millions of them. You are making a pretty big generalization there....
It's time people stop judging and have some compassion/empathy for people with this disease. We have put a stigma on addiction.
Maybe if he pulls through this incident will make him WANT to get help and help him find the strength to do so. [Edited 10/27/15 10:45am] |

^^^^first of all I'm a nurse and have been working for an addiction treatment company for the last eight months so if anybody has sympathy for drug addiction I most certainly do. What I don't have sympathy for is people that believe it's ok to take their own lives, believe they are the only ones whose gone through traumatic events and those that just do stupid shit. I'm sorry but spending that amount of money on drugs and prostitutes is just wrong. As far as judging you seem to be doing a lot of that too. | |

I'm not judging, I'm asking people to look beyond the bad decisions that addicts make. You made a very big generalization, which a lot of people tend to do. If that rubbed you the wrong way, I am sorry, it was not my intention.
If we THINK about things first before we offer an opinion or judgement it may change the way we feel about these issues. Do you not think that people who take their own lives are sick and need help? I guess I don't understand how you don't have sympathy for people who feel like there is no reason to live anymore. That makes me sad.
Lamar has a lot of money to spend on stupid shit. People who do not have that kind of money do stupid shit to get a little bit of money to support their habits. That stupid shit could be more dangerous like robbing someone and potentially hurting an innocent person. Lamar didn't (physically) hurt anyone but himself, and I believe that he was not in the best mental state when making those decisions. He needs help.
I can't change everyone's opinions about addiction and what people do who have these addictions. I just wish that others would think outside the box and realize there are underlying factors that cause these poor decisions and bad behavior most of the time. Of course there are always exceptions, I just don't think Lamar was one of them.
