Lamar Odom joins OnlyFans, promises a side 'you haven’t seen' - USA Today
Lamar Odom is making an unexpected career move more than a decade after retiring from the NBA.
The two-time NBA champion-turned TV personality, 46, started an OnlyFans account Oct. 27. In his first post, the former "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star wrote, "This is brand new to me, looking forward to showing a side of me most would never see!"
His bio reads: "You’ve seen me on the court. You’ve seen me on TV. Now get to know the REAL me. A little more personal. A little more playful. And a side of Lamar you haven’t seen before. Come inside my world."
"People hear OnlyFans and automatically think one thing, but I'm not here to tell you what you will or won't see," Odom told TMZ in a statement. "I've lived a pretty wild life, and trust me, there are still a few surprises left. I've always been an open book, but there are some chapters people haven't seen yet."
USA TODAY has reached out to Odom's team for comment.
The monthly subscription to Odom's members-only content is $12.99, though he is offering a 75% discount for the next 31 days.
The career move comes nearly seven months after the release of his documentary, "Untold: The Death & Life of Lamar Odom," which is part of a Netflix sports docuseries. The installment chronicles the tragedies and hardships the athlete has faced in his nearly five decades, including his divorce from reality star Khloé Kardashian and his collapse at a now-demolished brothel on Oct. 13, 2015.
The former NBA Sixth Man of the Year recipient has said he is maintaining his sobriety from marijuana and alcohol after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in Las Vegas in January.
In February, he completed a 30-day program at Los Angeles’ iRely Recovery center, where Odom said he learned more about his addiction, information he hopes to share with others.
"I have a certain type of mental and physical endurance, but when it comes to getting high and escaping, I'm just like everyone else," he told USA TODAY in March. "If I could just help the average person and give them faith and hope that they can overcome it, then that's probably one of the reasons why the Lord spared me."
