Jamie Sangouthai's drug-related death last week has deeply affected many members of the Kardashian family. He had been one of Lamar Odom's best friends and because of that, Sangouthai spent a lot of time with both Khloe and Rob Kardashian. While Khloe is reportedly being a rock of support for Odom right now, Rob seems to be struggling even more than usual on his own. Rob's weight has sky-rocketed in recent years, causing his self esteem to plummet and unfortunately, a report that he had checked into rehab a few weeks back proved inaccurate. Things have only gotten worse with the loss of Sangouthai, who was once Rob's roommate.
In the midst of this tragedy, Rob was actually spotted out in L.A. last week for the first time in months. According to a report by Hollywood Life, the entire Kardashian family is still very concerned about him."[Rob] has extreme social anxiety, is very unhealthy and just isn't doing anything to get back on his feet. The whole Kardashian and Jenner family is worried sick about him but they just don't know what to do. He refuses to get therapy or to go get help. He has his own money still as he spends very little. They feel like they have tried everything but until Rob wants help it's virtually impossible for them to give him help." explains an insider.
In the midst of Sangouthai's sudden death, there is a chance that this loss will help to snap Rob back to his senses. Once he gets through the initial waves of grief, the reality of how drugs played such a role in his friend's death could possibly prompt Rob to get himself together so that he doesn't suffer a similar fate. Do you think that this will ultimately wake Rob up or will it just be one more reason for him to be severely depressed? Might Sangouthai's death be the thing that pushes Rob to check into rehab and get cleaned up once and for all? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below!
