Lamar Odom Fires Back at Accusations of Being A Deadbeat Dad

Former NBA player Lamar Odom was called out by his ex Liza Morales for being a deadbeat dad in the lawsuit, which alleged that he stopped paying for child support. Now it seems Odom has had enough of being slandered by Morales.

Lamar Odom took to Instagram and took a screenshot of this story, where Liza Morales further claimed that she and the kids are in danger of being evicted. Odom would address the accusations made against him and defended himself. Odom added that his children were no longer minors.

“I had no plans on addressing this but I can’t keep letting bitter women slander my name. I have taken care of Liza and my children their entire lives. My children are adults. I have paid child support for CHILDREN on time monthly for the past 18 years. My CHILDREN are ADULTS.”

Lamar Odom would then go on to blast his ex, who recently joined season 9 of the VH1 reality television series Basketball Wives that premiered in March of 2021. 

“I am saddened that in the past 15 years that Liza has not taken the initiative to get a job and create a source of income for herself aside from my monthly payment of child support. She is smart, able and capable of working to support the lavish lifestyle she wants to live.

I love my adult children and I will support them and their dreams in every way possible. I pray that Liza finds healing and gets to a place of independence,” Lamar added. “I am no longer shamed by my past mistakes. I own who I am and with a clear mind and conscience I will present my case in court. Life is too short and uncertain for this. Lets all work on being our best selves.”

This is not the first time Liza Morales made an issue out of money as she also accused Odom of not sending LJ’s “college money” on her Instagram Story in October of last year. We will have to see how this drama will unfold and will keep you updated on this ongoing case.
