Lamar Odom falls asleep during child custody hearing

Lamar Odom reportedly fell asleep during an on-going child custody case on Tuesday.

The court officer asked him: “Excuse me, are you OK?”

Lamar Odom, who is now married to Khloe Kardashian, is fighting his ex Liza Morales for custody of their daughter Destiny, 14 and son Lamar Jr., 11.

After being woken from his snooze in the New York courtroom, Lamar Odom replied to the officer that he was fine, reports the NY Post.

This prompted the officer to say to him: “I need you to sit up”, which Lamar Odom reportedly did do but continued to rest his head on his hand.

The visit to court came at the same time as his former long-term girlfriend Liza Morales published an open letter in The Daily Beast speaking of her devastation at his whirlwind romance and wedding to Khloe Kardashian.

Liza Morales, who had three children with Lamar Odom, one of whom passed away at just six months, has just started taking part in her own reality show called Starter Wives.

She writes: “I don’t think I’ll forget the tight knot I felt in the pit of my stomach the morning I received the text message with three simple words on the screen. It read <<I’m getting married>> and it was from the man I’d spent more than 10 years of my life with.

“Years that included us getting engaged in 2000 and becoming parents to one daughter and two sons. Yet not long after our separation Lamar Odom was getting married to Khloe Kardashian, a woman he’d met four weeks before.”

Liza Morales added: “How could the man who’d constantly given me reason after reason for why we couldn’t get married just yet now be ready to tie the knot so quickly? There aren’t words to explain how I felt that day.”

She also revealed that now she has no relationship at all with the man she met while a student at Christ The King HS in Queens.

“We kept things cordial for the children’s sake after the breakup, but that changed when he married Khloe.

“Now we only communicate through third parties and lawyers, which I regret deeply since it is exactly what we each experienced as children and said we wouldn’t do to our kids.”

Liza Morales went on to write that it is very hard to hear about Lamar Odom’s new relationship with Khloe Kardashian day in day out, as their lives are so wildly documented, due to Keeping Up With The Kardashians.
