Khloe Kardashian has posted an angry message on Twitter in response to media reports about her husband Lamar Odom.
It had been reported over the weekend that the couple had separated because basketball star Odom was refusing to get help for an alleged drug problem.
But Khloe came out punching on the social networking site, writing: "Really hard to sit here and listen to people talk s**t about my family! F**k you and shame on you! I'm too protective for this s**t!"
Hollywood Life claims that Khloe threw Lamar out of their home on 21 August after he refused an intervention attempt.
The 29-year-old reality TV star married LA Clippers player Odom in 2009, just weeks after they had got together.
Meanwhile TMZ has reported that the sportsman is not missing, as had been claimed - and that Khloe was holding a crisis meeting with him.
And his agent told sports channel ESPN: "Lamar is not missing. His wife knows exactly where he is... Playing in the NBA is still very much a part of Lamar's plans."
