Lamar Odom has hit headlines again, this time for an alleged incident while on board a Delta flight departing for New York from LAX on Monday night.
The former NBA player was said to have been drinking beer and whiskey in the Delta airport lounge before boarding the red-eye flight, according to a report from TMZ.

After boarding the plane, Lamar was reportedly “wasted” and vomited both in the galley and the bathroom, according to TMZ. Two first class passengers on the plane told the media outlet that Lamar had to be “gently” escorted off the aircraft by flight attendants, while a cleaning crew worked on the mess left behind.
However, Lamar reportedly returned to the plane 10 minutes later, only to be removed once more. The plane eventually took off without Lamar on board and arrived at its destination 40 minutes later than scheduled.
A spokesperson for Delta had no comment on the story, and the LAPD told the Los Angeles Times that they hadn’t received any reports about the incident.

On Monday afternoon, before he reportedly headed to the airport, Lamar was spotted with a woman near a Los Angeles strip club.
The former pro athlete is still recovering from a near-fatal overdose in October 2015, when he was found unconscious at a Nevada brothel and hospitalised in a coma.
His estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, filed divorce papers for a second time in May after initially calling it off in the days following Lamar’s health crisis.

The reality star, who flew to Nevada to be by his side at the hospital, has since slammed a Twitter user who accused her of failing to help her husband in the midst of her rumoured new relationship with ‘Mr. Steal Your Girl’ singer Trey Songz.
“@khloekardashian instead of running the streets with Mr.!steal your girl you need to be helping your HUSBAND,” the tweeter wrote.
Khloe didn’t hold back in her response, telling the commenter,” Stay in your f—ing lane little girl. You know nothing about anything. You’re a sheep herded by society.”
