Lamar Odom is furious about reports he allegedly ambushed and cornered ex-wife Khloe Kardashian outside of her SoulCycle class in the early morning on Wednesday, ranting to paparazzi he's been misportrayed in the media and isn't a bad guy.

An eyewitness had told Us Weekly that Odom popped up out of nowhere Wednesday and demanded to talk to Kardashian before she engaged in her workout in Beverly Hills. The conversation allegedly escalated to Odom yelling at her and Kardashian asking him to get away from her. TMZ also claimed Kardashian threatened to call the police on him.
Odom denied harassing and stalking the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, suggesting the couple had made plans to secretly meet in two videos obtained by TMZ. He's also apparently disappointed Kardashian hasn't stood up for him.
"I am not, not, not the person that they're trying to make me out to be. I live in Las Vegas," an emotional Odom said in one video, pointing out how he's not even familiar with Beverly Hills -- certainly not well enough to stalk his ex-wife.
"So was there an address or a place given, or I just guessed right? Did I just guess right where this girl may be? I know Khloe, so how would you think I ended up there?" the former NBA basketball player questioned the cameraman.

"I would think there was some communication between you two," the guy behind the camera replied.
"Okay then," Odom noted. "It's hard for me to keep my composure. To everyone who knows and supports me I'm sorry but the dog has to fight back. [They say] I'm a womanizer, a drug addict. It's awful. If it happens again I will air everything out. Nobody got followed, nobody got hassled, nobody got harassed, nobody got grabbed on, none of that."
Odom continued, "Probably the most hurtful part, somebody should be calling up saying, 'Hell no that didn't happen, that's ridiculous, that's crazy. It's just not the truth."
In the second video, Odom insisted he's never sought out attention or fame, especially in his relationship with the reality TV star.
"I don't Twitter, I don't Instagram. Me and that girl fell in love, it's our business. If we want to let you in our house we can let you in, we can kick you out at the same time," he told TMZ.

Kardashian has yet to comment on the incident, which is a surprise since she reportedly confessed to communicating with Odom often since their divorce was finalized last month after a two-year separation. According to Us, Kardashian also said she misses Odom every day and what they had together.
Odom, 35, and Kardashian, 31, tied the knot in September 2009.
