I was going to include that in my post LOLOL. But, Reggie has a strong support system around him that includes his mom and siblings. If he had even thought about it, his mom would have slap some sense into him LOL. I dont even think Kris H would put himself in a similar position where he is filming during season, especially after start with a new team. Lamar has no such support, who knows if he ever really wanted to be have that kind of reality fame, he doesnt look comfortable with it.
I do feel he keeps doing it because he doesnt want to dissappoint the Kardashian.
I think even his fans would agree that he is mentally fragile but that has to do with his childhood and not having a support system except for Jamie. Can you imagine how differently things would be for him if he had a father that cared or his mom was still alive?
What exactly can he do? I do feel that him wanting two apartments was possible to get away from madness at times but she shut that down. She twists thing to make them about herself, the better wife to Kim bad wife image and of course to gardner attention.
Why else would she tweet encouraging things to Lamar with the rest of the twitter world? She could have kept her mouth shut and comfort him privately.
ding! ding! Ding! i've always felt they were pretty much cut from the same cloth and please, I still cringe at that super bowl display everytime I watch it. I got second hand embarrassment when she sat in on the interview with him and some team mates
This is the BIGGEST day of the man's professional career for crying out loud. leave your mama at home, have a seat, cheer, and handle your biz when you get home. At least thats what I would do. When the mr. got his promotion we didnt take phone calls for two daysI have to disagree with you, Kim knows her limit. Plus, she didnt care about football that much
TBH i don't think so. Sure he'd be on the show, but Kim never felt the need to get involved in the football aspect of his life. She didn't micromanage that.
I agree with alot of what you say, but where we part is i think Lamar wanted this. Is he in over his head now? Who knows. It's hard to tell. Maybe he does stick with it because of the bolded.
But my thing is i can't solely blame Khloe. Lamar is an adult. At some point you have to acknowledge that yes my life circumstances sucked, but if he truly feels like this is hurting his career, then he needs to tell Khloe. He is responsible for his choices ultimately. Sure there may be context on why he would be easily influenced by the K's (+ i get those completely) + Khloe like all the K's can be controlling, but i would like to think he's smart enough to be able to assess the situation + take the necessary steps, whatever he feels those are. It's similar to Kris Jenner/Kim. There might be reasons for the behavior but at what age do your choices become your own?
ETA;
Khloe doesn't really care about basketball either though TBH.
*eta* Didn't addison say he was a puppet? This dude really calls NO ONE family but her family. Don't you think he wants to do what's good for the fam? Sure seems that way. As much as y'all keep saying "he's an adult", it's quite evident that he does not act like one.
Kim was very much in her seat with signs and even went as far as calling football a dumb sport when Reggie dumped her. The difference is football games are played once a week, basketball is almost nightly. No, Kim didn't saturate Twitter with football, but *in my Phaedra voice* everybody knows what kind of annoying GF Kim was with Reggie. She was in the tunnels and on the sidelines pre/postgame. She was also always trying to portray the perfect relationship. Let's also remember that Reggie was ON a Super Bowl team. His role was minimal with bursts here and there. He was not playing to his full potential.
And, again, the whole celeb Twitter thing just oozes with "look at us!". Just like regular annoying ppl who put every single thing on Twitter and FB, these fools are the same way. Why does she have to encourage her man via tweets? She has his phone number. They live together! The same way Kim would tweet Reggie from "the other room". It's more about showing the world what they're saying than it is about what they're saying.

I can literally count on one hand the times i saw her with a sign.
In fact i can only come up with two.A contention point between her + Reggie was that she wasn't always at all his games and wouldn't move to NO so i don't think it was on the same level at all. Calling football stupid was way after her + Reggie broke up so kinda irrelevant other than a petty comment. And i agree that football is once a week so it's less time for attention whoring but honestly Kim wasn't bad at all in terms of talking football minus that cringe worthy interview. She wasn't talking/texting with his agent, tweeting about how his team treats him, making excuses for every bad game he bad, taking shots at the organization, etc.
Khloe IMO took it to a whole new level. She needs a hobby.

You make a good point about Lamar. But idk i just can't put all the blame on Khloe or the K's. Although i do remember him sobbing at the rehearsal dinner when someone gave some family speech. I blame everybody!

I dont think there is anything wrong with that. She is supporting her bf while he is playing not actively involve in his career. Plenty wives do that including Vanessa Bryant made signs with her daughter to support her husband.
Kim wasnt the perfect gf but she was decent especially compare to her sister. Even when she was dating Kris H, she didnt go to that much Nets game and wasnt tweeting about the organization when she was at the game, a total different situation from Khloe who act like she is part of the Dallas mavs.
Yep. He is emotionally stunted and why he is any easy Kardashian prey.
He has acknowledge on interviews and even on the show (based on recaps) he wants out of filming but it is going to take a lot to stand up to the Kardashian machine.
I know his chances are slim to make it to the Olympic squad but it would benefit him greatly if they invited him at least to training camp even if he doesnt make the final cut. That would be a month away from the Kardashian and Khloe for the most part since training is long. It would boster his confidence and friends like Dwayne Wade and Kobe might be able to talk some sense into him. Right now things are bleaked for him, his is at an all time low and the only people advising him are Khloe, Jamie and Kris J.
Honestly, i think the issue with Kim and Khloe comes down to self-esteem. They come across as though they've got it in spades (especially Kim with her gratuitous "sexy" twit pics), but they literally NEED constant validation to function. Kim needs it through media attention, material possessions, and compliments on her physical appearance. Khloe gets her validation through Lamar and her seemingly perfect unbreakable relationship. When she was single, she tried to come across as confident, independent and happy, but look how much she's changed since then. Her relationship with Lamar clearly gave her a massive ego boost, and flaunting it to the world gives her some sort of high.
In a way, it is sad that women who have so much and so much family support feel the need to constantly seek attention from strangers- especially since they don't seem to care what sort of attention it is. Positive or negative, any press is good press to these chicks.

it's interesting how every single post/word/line is dissected in here. it's like biology all over again, and that was a long time ago for me.
Great point.
I do believe that Kim got validation through dating Reggie (but she felt entitled to Reggie if that makes sense, Like they were equals because of the fact that they were both on the same "level" looks wise, popularity, hot girl/football star, etc), but i think mainly her validation comes from her "career" (which is media attention, etc) which is why she didn't feel the need to insert herself into every aspect of Reggie's life or make him her life. Kim is just
i can get another man because guys constantly pay her attention so she doesn't feel the same desperation to make it work.Both insecure. Just deal with it differently.

I agree. But then again they also have nothing to offer the public other than their personal lives. So if they stopped tweeting/posting pics/etc they would fade into obscurity. The only one that seems comfortable with herself is Kourtney and its evident how much less attention she gets from the media because she doesn't tweet incessantly or post pics of kissy faces AND she's OK with that.

Is that why she danced onto the field when the Saints won and gave him the most awkward kiss ever with Mama Kris grinning in the back? Is that also why she felt the need to sit in on an interview with his teammates? LOL
That was one time though. I'm talking about their RL over all (every aspect). And that wasn't really inserting herself into Reggie's life really. That was her attention whoring in a moment she saw great potential to attention whore. Reggie just happened to be the reason there were cameras
And if you watch that interview she didn't sit with his teammates just the radio guys i thought ?. The radio guys were pressing her to come join them. Those radio guys always loved her in NO. She acted like an idiot but it's not the same thing as being involved the way Khloe is.- Status
