On Monday Khloe Kardashian’s husband Lamar Odom was accused by ESPN of operating a fraudulent cancer and youth charity, but Khloe has spoken out to rubbish the claims.
Khloe tweeted a link to her website under the title “Setting the record straight”, where she had posted a statement regarding the allegations against Lamar’s work with Cathy’s Kids charity.
Khloe posted: “It is unfortunate that my husband has been the target of an attack on athletes’ charities, although he has personally contributed approximately $2.2 million to his foundation,Cathy’s Kids, to fulfill its charitable purposes that include helping underprivileged inner-city youth,
“The millions of dollars personally contributed by Lamar constituted more than 90% of the money raised by the foundation. All of the funds donated by Lamar and the other contributions to Cathy’s Kids were used for one of the foundation’s intended charitable purposes. Not one penny went to help Lamar personally or any member of his family. No charitable funds were misused, and the IRS has repeatedly given Cathy’s Kids a clean bill of health, confirming that there were no improprieties.”
Khloe was outspoken on Twitter regarding the comments she had received following the allegations and tweeted, “I would never do anything like that point blank. But hey. People will believe whatever they want no matter what you do.”, also commenting on the fact that her father had died of cancer so the charity is close to her heart.
We hope the allegations are false and the charity can continue to do good for underprivileged children and cancer sufferers.
