Oprah devastated by Lamar condition

Oprah Winfrey is devastated by the condition of Lamar Odom especially having lost a sister to drug addiction herself.

During her interview with Extra, Oprah Winfrey finally spoke out about Lamar Odom, saying she is absolutely ‘devastated’ by his dire condition. It’s particularly upsetting for Ms. O, as Lamar allegedly overdosed on drugs, which is how she lost her half-sister as reported by HollywoodLife.com

Oprah Winfrey, 61, is being reminded of the drug problems within her own family. Speaking of Lamar Odom, 35, who is in critical condition after allegedly overdosing, Oprah said she is “devastated,” especially given the fact that her half- sister, Patricia Lloyd, died in 2003 at the age of just 43, due to a drug overdose. Watch the interview HERE and see what Oprah had to say about the heartbreaking situation.

“It reminded me of having to deal with drugs in my own family,” Oprah told Extra, speaking of Lamar tragically being found unconscious in a Nevada brothel. “It’s a battle that you can’t win until they decide they want to win,” she added.

Oprah herself had to witness her half-sister, Patricia, succumb to drug addiction, more than a decade ago. “In my own family we lost that battle,” she said, speaking explicitly about the tragedy. “I put my sister through rehab twice, she came out of rehab and went right back on Oxycontin and there it was, gone, dead,” she added.

Oprah, understanding how heartbreaking it is to see someone you love go through addiction, said she had reached out to Lamar’s ex-wife Khloe Kardashian, as well as her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters, Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian. “I know how frustrating it is because you want to be able to help,” said Oprah. “You want to be able to do something.”

Patricia had been found dead in her apartment in Wisconsin in February, 2003. Her death was drug-induced, resulting from an overdose of oxycodone, according to the coroner’s office, following what was a years-long battle with drugs.

Such sad situations. We’re sending all the love and positivity to Oprah, as well as Lamar on his journey to recovery.
