Lamar Odom got knocked out by a judge for not paying his child support, despite earning a ton of cash for fighting.
41-year-old Odom was not present during the virtual hearing, but that didn't stop Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Matthew Cooper from ripping the ex-NBA player a new one.
As Breaking Celebrity News reported, his ex, Liza Morales, sued him in May. She claimed he has failed to pay child support for their two children since June of last year.
Morales also pointed out that Odom allegedly collected a $40,000 paycheck after participating in a celebrity boxing match against Aaron Carter last month -- something that didn't sit well with the judge.
“If Mr. Odom is in good enough shape to participate in a boxing match, he’s certainly in good enough shape to abide by his obligations to support his children as set forth in the settlement agreement,” Judge Cooper stated during the virtual hearing.
According to Morales' lawyer, the former Los Angeles Laker owes his ex $91,000 through July.
Judge Cooper said he was "disappointed that payments ceased."
