Kendall Jenner is also holding her breath. "Please don’t go,” the model, 19, tweeted to her nearly 13 million followers on Wednesday. Jenner is currently in Shanghai, China, for Shanghai Fashion Week. She attended the Ports 1961 presentation on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, Odom’s rep released an exclusive statement to Us Weekly early Wednesday morning. “Family and friends are extremely concerned for Lamar,” Odom’s longtime publicist and friend, Eve Sarkisyan, told Us. “Please don’t listen to the false information being circulated unofficially. Please respect the family’s privacy during this difficult time.”
As previously reported by Us Weekly, Kardashian’s ex-husband, who has battled substance abuse issues in the past, was found unconscious on Tuesday afternoon by two women he was partying with, Ryder Cherry and Madison, at the Love Ranch South in Pahrump.
Love Ranch South owner Dennis Hof told Us that after the NBA player was found, staff called 911. Operators instructed the staff to roll Odom to his side, at which point, “a bunch of ugly stuff came out of him,” Hof explained. Odom was then transported to a nearby hospital.
“He said he was just trying to get away from people so he could have some time to himself without the pressures of being who he is,” Hof recalled to Us. Hof said that there were no signs of drugs but that the athlete “was taking herbal viagra.”
Kardashian and Odom said “I do” in September 2009 after just a month of dating. In December 2013, Kardashian filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized this past July.

During a recent episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, the 31-year-old reality personality, who is currently dating James Harden, revealed she still speaks with Odom and will forever care for him.
Khloé’s half-sister Kylie Jenner was in the middle of a live stream on her app when the news broke. "Had to end my live stream. I love you guys,” she tweeted.
