Lamar Odom Paid $75,000 for Round-the-Clock Sex and Companionship at Brothel
by JACOB RASCON and M. ALEX JOHNSON

Kardashian Family Asks for Prayers as Odom Fights for His Life 1:49
Retired basketball star Lamar Odom, who remained unresponsive Thursday in a Las Vegas hospital after he was found unconscious at the Love Ranch this week, paid $75,000 for 24-hour-a-day companionship from two women, the brothel's owner told NBC News Thursday.

Odom used a credit card to take care of the five-day package, which Love Ranch owner Dennis Hof said included sex and activities like cooking, watching TV together and going out to dinner — a deal commonly called the "girlfriend experience."

Odom arrived last Saturday at the brothel in the western Nevada town of Crystal. He had planned to extend his stay through this Saturday to celebrate Hof's birthday but had yet to renegotiate his bill, Hof said.

While Odom and Kardashian were widely reported to have filed for divorce in December 2013, citing irreconcilable differences, California court records obtained Wednesday by NBC News show that the divorce still hasn't been finalized.

Marriage law attorneys said that means Kardashian would have legal authority in the event someone has to make an "end of life" decision to remove Odom from life support

Divorce wasn't finalize? Like she filed & forgot?
And such a terrible tragedy... now that the press coverage of Bruce was fading
Hummm.... A weeping widow reality show & anti drug campaign?

$15,000 a day? I wonder if his hospital bill will be that low....

$312.50 per hour each woman, minus taxes & ranch owners cut.

does that include all the drugs too? coke ain't cheap....

I sincerely doubt it. They are a legal business run by a husband & wife.

I seen a documentary years ago where they admitted to taking 50%.
So now.. We are down to $126.25 per hour ,per woman minus taxes & their mandatory health care.

I don't think they were paid enough to put up with a druggie for 5 days.
And now a possible investigation.
Yikes !

I wonder if legal hookers need to start wearing warning label stickers.

I mean if you cut your foot off with a lawnmower trying to use it as a hedge trimmer while drunk the company gets sued and has to put a label on the product saying "only operate for intended use, do not operate under the influence of alcohol."

So, if lamar whatever is doing drugs and operating hookers and goes into a coma, I wonder if the family can sue the brothel, get a huge settlement, and force them to put warning labels on hookers. Like "this product is known to cause STD's." Or "do not operate under the influence of drugs and only for its intended use."

Some states have legal separation mandates for x amount of time before the (trial) divorce can be conducted. Other States have an actual legal separation status, and some won't adjudicate a marriage from another state.
I think Hank Baskett takes the cake for 'worst ''reality'' husband' .

The ranch will definitely be sued. If they provided the 'herbal viagra' it was probably a freebie for the 8ball special package. Oldest profession in the world....

Well I guess the girl he may have been with at the time can use that as a selling point. "I'm so good, I put the last guy in the hospital."

Seventy grand for slap and tickle? Talk about too much money and too much time on your hands.

Well actually, if he had spent more time with his hands, he could have saved the seventy five grand! (lol)

Yep...mama Kardashian is trying to come up with a catchy reality show name right now, I'd bet...."Keeping up With Hookers and Blow" perhaps.

I was like... when I first saw the inside of the brothel... he paid how much ... and maybe the women there ... where something he liked...
I just read he has a 50/50 chance and if he does survive ...he will not be the same and bed ridden for the rest of his life ... as his organs keep shutting down...I sure hope he was having fun there ...before this all happened ... an certainly would not want to make that call ... such a waste of talent ... and very sad for all his loved ones ...

Very sad..wonderful guy.
Chit happens.

-----------------------------------
I avoid commenting on drugs & alcohol, because my empathy/ sympathy is very limited, but not my knowledge of it.
* I am sure some will want to turn it into an addiction thread... Instead of making one *

My only comment as far as his 'useing' .....He is 35 years old. & he made these choices

they were herbal sexual enhancement drugs, taken over a 3 day period... i also read they have found a multitude of drugs in his system...

Lamar Odom is awake and responds to 'I love you' from wife Khloe Kardashian -

No, she kept filing then she would go back to the wife beater, serial cheater and druggie.

That's actually cheap. The Love Ranch is one of the lower end brothels Dennis Hof Owns. Some thing like that up here at the Bunny Ranch would be $25,000-$50,000 a day.

The house's that Hoff owns usually take about 60%-70%, which is high compared to the other ranches that take 40%-50%.

Dennis Hoff is a huge a$$hole. No one in here in Carson likes him. He tries to throw his money around and there are many establishments he is not welcome in and he tries to donate to as many politician's as he can and all of them refuse to take donations from that creep.

I met him once, and I wanted to punch him in the damn nose.

I know three politician's who have taken campaign contributions from him and his ranches. Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton (both in 2008 and now in 2016, Congresswoman Dina Titus and former Nevada Attorney General and Democratic Candidate for Harry Reid's Senate Seat Catherine Cortez Masto, Hell Hoff just did a hookers for Hillary fundraiser for her.

Also this drug thing doesn't surprise me. Hoff is known to supply drugs for his girls and big spenders.
