Lamar Odom removed from NY-bound flight

NEW YORK (FOX5NY) - Disgraced former NBA star Lamar Odom was reportedly removed from a New York-bound flight, twice, after vomiting aboard the plane. According to TMZ.com, Odom was drunk when he boarded the Delta plane at LAX Airport late Monday night.

Witnesses told the celebrity news site that Odom was seen pounding beers and whisky at the airport lounge before the flight.

As the plane was about to pull back, Odom vomited in the galley and then again in the bathroom.

The estranged husband of reality TV star Khloe Kardashian returned to his seat with his clothes covered in vomit, reported TMZ.

He was escorted off the plane and his items were placed in a plastic bag.

A short time later, Odom, 36, returned to his seat but soon got back up to use the bathroom where he vomited, again. He reportedly used the heads of people in first class to steady his balance on his way to the bathroom.

Odom was removed from the flight after a 40 minute delay.

The former Los Angeles Lakers star had a brush with death last year after he was found unconscious at a brothel in Crystal, Nevada.
