Lamar Odom is breaking his silence with his first post on Twitter since the NBA star was arrested and charged with driving under the influence last month.
Odom tweeted "Seeing the snakes" on Tuesday night in his first post since his Aug. 30 arrest.
He followed with an extended tweet from his verified account that referenced his estranged father. The message about his dad came after Radar Online published an in-depth interview with the reality star's father. In the interview, Odom's father, Joe, bashed Lamar's extended Kardashian family, calling his wife, Khloe, a phony.
"Won't continue 2 speak on this but I have got 2 let this out real quick. I have let this man and many others get away with a lot of sh*t. He wasn't there 2 raise me," Lamar vented. "He was absent ALL of my life due to his own demons. My mother and grandmother raised me. Queens raised me," Odom tweeted.
He went on to credit the family of his wife for being "the ONLY ones that have been here consistently 4 me during this dark time. Only person 2 blame is myself. Say what you want about me but leave the ones who have done nothing but protect and love me out of this! This goes out to everyone!"
Odom has been mostly silent on Twitter for nearly three months, although on July 12 he tweeted in part, "Wifey is real," a reference to Khloe Kardashian. Rumors have been swirling that Odom has an addiction to crack, but neither he nor his famous family have commented on the reports.
Odom, who played for the Los Angeles Clippers last season, is a free agent. He and wife Khloe have appeared on E!'s "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" and "Khloe and Lamar."
