Lamar Odom's mother-in-law comes to his defense after the NBA player lost his cool and destroyed a paparazzo's equipment. Kris Jenner, who appeared on the Scott & Todd WPLJ Radio show in New York on Monday, July 15, initially feigned ignorance when she was asked about the incident by the DJs.

"It was hysterical to see your son in law Lamar Odom have that little melt down with the paparazzi," the radio hosts commented. Kris replied, "I didn't see that." When the hosts asked again if Lamar had "a temper like that," Kris defended Khloe Kardashian's husband, "Oh he's the greatest guy in the world. Lamar doesn't have a temper."

She added, "When somebody that doesn't have a temper gets really upset about something there's a back story. I don't judge anybody else's actions until I really hear it from the horse's mouth and I know what's going on I don't like to judge other people and be cruel like that."

Lamar was pictured trashing a photographer's equipment in Los Angeles on July 10 after the paparazzo asked Lamar repeatedly about his cheating allegation. Lamar was seen taking a camera bag from a car's backseat and threw it to the middle of the street. The bag's contents were all spilled during the process. The athlete later went to another paparazzo's car and allegedly hit it with a metal rod.

One of the two photographers who suffered some damage was said filing a lawsuit against Lamar for property damage. Authorities said that the case would be investigated.
