Lamar Odom is reportedly getting fed up with Khloe Kardashian's constant presence in the hospital although reports have circulated she's just trying to help and support him.

"Lamar said he needed space and wanted to be alone," a source told Us Weekly. "He told her to get out."
The alleged October 23 incident was fueled by Odom, 35, hearing unflattering things about the 31-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star while he's been recovering at Cedars-Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles from a drug overdose he suffered in a Las Vegas brothel three weeks ago.
Despite a report Kardashian paid to fly Odom's family to his bedside when he was in worse shape, an Odom family source told Us that she actually prohibited the former NBA star's children from visiting. Odom was also angry about the idea Kardashian might be using his health scare for self-promotion and a boost in her career.
An insider insisted Odom never told his estranged wife to "get out" of his hospital room nor has the reality TV star tried to control which people can stop by to see Odom.

Kardashian is "focused on making sure Lamar is stabilized," a close insider said.
Kardashian reportedly spent Halloween with Odom in the hospital although she snuck away only a few days earlier to watch boyfriend James Harden's NBA opener in Houston. She told People she is not back together romantically with Odom and they might never rekindle their relationship.
Odom and Kardashian wed in 2009 after a very brief courtship and filed for divorce four years later. However, Kardashian decided to withdraw the divorce paperwork in court last month after Odom allegedly confessed his love to her and promised he'd never do drugs again.
