[News] Former NBA all-star,
Lamar Odom,

remains unconscious at
a hospital in Las Vegas.

Lamar, he's just signed
his divorce papers.

And he went to a place that
he always wanted to go to...

Dennis Hof's Love Ranch.

I feel like he was trying to
get over his marriage

with Khloe, and he just
wanted some cute girls...

to just throw him off
a little bit.

Dennis, he gets to boast
and say he hired

the first
transgender prostitute.

Dennis Hof told her to
get whatever Lamar needed,

and to try to
keep him there longer.

They wanted him to
spend more money.

In those time periods,
he reverted back

to his vices...

and the two addictions
that he's always had

from his youth, was he was
addicted to sex,

and he was
addicted to drugs.

Now it got
out of control...

when he wouldn't
wake up.

Lamar was foaming
at the mouth.

And he was unconscious.

Now he's almost
dead and...

Dennis was taking every
interview he could.

[Dennis] We don't care
if you're a celebrity.

We don't care if
you're a billionaire.

You can't do
drugs in my house.

Lamar's overdose was the
most Googled search of 2015.

Lamar Odom got
screwed in a brothel,

but not in the way you
would think he got screwed.

Nobody knew that real story
but me and Ryder.

This is the first time I've
ever told the real story,

the true story.

[Monica] I'm gonna
tell you the real story

about the
Lamar Odom party.

Exactly what happened.

When Lamar Odom came to
the Love Ranch South,

it was a big deal.

That was probably the
biggest celebrity they'd

ever had walk in there
and put money down.

[Monica] Why not tell the story,
and why keep it a secret?

People want to know.

♪

Lamar Odom was not only
famous in basketball,

but he was connected
to the Kardashians.

He was married
at that time to Khloe.

October 2015.

Lamar is in the
worst state of his life.

The worst mindset
of his life.

He has just signed
his divorce papers.

You think of, where would
Lamar Odom go?

The first place he went to
was this brothel.

[Monica] We're smoking weed

♪

But after he did
the cocaine,

it turned into
a bad situation.

It got pretty scary.

I've never talked
to anybody about it.

Never.

♪

I worked for Dennis Hof
at his Love Ranch

as an escort girl.

♪

I grew up in Sacramento.

Um, it was
a little rough.

All my friends that I knew,
they had money, and...

they had it easy.

Their parents were there,
worked good jobs,

and they had everything
they wanted and needed,

and the way I grew up...

I went without
a lot of the time.

One of my friends
told me about

the HBO Cathouse show.

I remember seeing
where a girl...

had a guy in a bathtub.

It looks easy. She- he's
just sucking on her toes.

♪

They're not being
sexual at all.

They're both naked,
of course.

She just kept swiping his
card for more money and

if it's that easy, then...

I really want to try it.

I got hired

24 hours after applying.

This woman named TJ,

she was the Madam

She responded to me,
and she said...

"You're hired." She's like,
"When can you start?"

♪

I have been afraid from
time to time for my life...

because I've told the truth.

Um, I believe there's still
a lot of truth and that it

needs to be told, and...

that's why I'm
taking part in this.

Love Ranch South is
located in Crystal, Nevada.

It is in the
middle of nowhere.

There are no services,
there's no...

buses, there's no taxis,
there's no grocery stores.

You're pretty much
stuck there.

♪

[Monica] I would go back
and forth a couple times.

And, one of the girls
messaged me

when I was at home,
and told me,

"Lamar Odom is
gonna be coming here."

And, it didn't
seem real.

I was like,
"Yeah, right..."

♪

[Crew] Take one.
Marker.

I worked at Dennis Hof's
Love Ranch brothel

in October of 2015.

Dennis Hof approached
my agent

asking just for me.

He specifically
sought me out.

And they sold me
this idea.

"You're gonna be the first
transgender prostitute to be

licensed in Nevada and
the United States."

So, that's how they
kind of sold me on

the idea of going there.

[Madison] Come see me at
the Love Ranch Vegas!

While I was working
at the brothel,

we got a call
from a customer,

and they had left
$100 deposit down.

I was with Ryder
at the time.

We both looked at the caller
ID just to see who called,

and she said that Lamar Odom
was the one that called

and that he was the one
that left the deposit.

And I was like,
"Who's Lamar Odom?"

♪

And then she told me,
"He was on the show,

he's Khloe Kardashian's
husband."

♪

I first met Lamar when
he joined The Clippers,

so this was 1999.

I always loved
talking to Lamar.

He told me about his
childhood in New York.

It was so sad,
it didn't really seem

that it was true, really.

He never really had
a father figure

in the true sense
of the word.

His dad was
addicted to heroin.

His mother passed away
when he was 12.

With everything he went
through in life-

basketball,
the gym, the court-

that was his safe place.

When Lamar got traded
to Los Angeles,

he joined the Lakers,

and he became a
teammate of Kobe Bryant,

and he will tell you that
that changed his life.

Lamar and the Lakers,

they went to three
straight finals,

they won back-to-back
championships.

He goes on to win
Sixth Man of the Year,

gets married to
Khloe Kardashian,

gets his own
reality show.

His fame grew from,
you know,

the fame one has of being
a basketball player

to the transcendent fame
of being a part of

the Kardashian family.

[Security] Back, back,
back, back, back!

[Arash] That is a
different level of fame.

You cannot leave your house.

You cannot do anything.

Everyone knows
who you are.

♪

And then there was a video
released on TMZ with, uh,

one of Lamar's
childhood friends.

They're both without
their shirts on, uh,

and Lamar's clearly
drugged out,

talking about
cheating on Khloe,

the one stable thing
in his life.

[Arash] He always talked
about that, like...

he's given her so
many reasons to leave,

and then finally it...

was too much,
where she wanted a divorce.

Lamar wants to forget
about everything that's

happening in his life,
and he went to Las Vegas.

And there was one place that
he always wanted to go to,

Dennis Hof's Love Ranch.

I think the appeal
of this brothel,

from what Lamar had heard,
was that they were used to

high-profile clientele

that would keep it
under wraps.

♪

[Madison] I decided to go
post on my Twitter,

and say, you know,
at The Love Ranch,

you know, you can trust
Dennis Hof and I

for discretion,
you know, and all that,

hoping he would see it.

And then, I ended up taking
matters into my own hands

and I just screenshotted
my tweet,

and then I DM'ed Lamar
on Instagram.

I sent my phone number
to him as well.

He called me in the
middle of the night.

He had asked me,
saying, you know,

"Hey, I seen you online.
You want to meet up?"

And stuff like that.

I had a feeling he knew me
from my adult videos.

I had been an adult film star
at that time for six years.

I'm all online.

You'll see my videos,
pictures of me, and...

in these pictures and videos,
you know I'm trans so,

there's no confusion.

Lamar ended up
messaging me back,

and he had asked me,
"Are you in?

I think the car
should come get me."

I had sent him
a message...

um, saying, "The car is
ready when you are, Daddy."

♪

He says,
"I'm ready for that car,"

and then he gave me
his address.

♪

[Arash] Lamar had just
signed his divorce papers.

I think Lamar
wanted to disappear.

I think Lamar wanted
to escape from reality.

I think he just wanted
to be somewhere

where there was
no expectations.

It led to probably the
worst decision of his life.

♪

The Madam,
TJ,

said that he was
really coming.

And she told us all,
"Get to your best, top look.

Get beautiful, get ready.

I'm going to

[TJ] I left.
It was going to be...

two-and-a-half-hour ride,
round trip.

I picked him up in Henderson.

He was really tall,
I remember.

I had never met a star
or anybody like that.

Having a conversation with
Lamar was like talking to

a neighbor you've
known all your life.

[Madison] Lamar and TJ are
on their way to the brothel,

the girls to be lineup ready.

And I was really
confused and, like,

hurt by that

I thought he was coming
here just to see me.

[Monica] It was
unbelievable.

All the girls in the house,
they're going crazy.

They're like,
"He's really coming!"

They're all trying to Google
how much money he has.

[TJ] Dennis wanted
the business

from Hollywood to come.

We were 4 hours
away from LA.

Lamar was the
first superstar

or real VIP to
visit the house.

He came in,
and he sat down.

Gave him some time
to get settled and,

I offered him a
drink from the bar.

And then
I asked him...

just to let me know when he
was ready for the lineup.

[Monica] I picked out
this outfit.

I felt like it was my...

best piece of lingerie

I was excited.

He just seemed really calm,
like he was- the way he was

sitting on the couch,
he was all laid back.

I say 8,
maybe 9 girls.

And they start
at the beginning,

and they go down.
I was just like,

"Hi, my name's
Monica Monroe."

Just by, like,
looking at him and

him watching all the girls,
and he was looking at me.

So, I was just like,
"He's gonna pick me.

This is crazy."

[TJ] He chose
Ryder Cherry,

looked at each other.

I was like,
"This can't be real."

[Madison] I was
really stunned that

Ryder and Monica
got picked over me.

I feel like he did
want to pick me.

Since I'm trans,
I don't think...

he wanted that to even get
out in front of other women.

I think he wanted it
just to be between us.

I think he was scared.

Now, Dennis would
tell the women...

if a client comes in and

[Monica] When we
negotiated with him,

we told him, like,
"Since you want both of us,

we'll give you
half off on one of us.

So, it'll be 50 for one and
25 for the other."

And the whole time
he was thinking...

7,500.

But we were like,
"No, it's 50,000 a girl."

So, I was- we were like,
if you want two of us,

you'll get one for 25.

And he kind of just, like,
said, "Phew, man.

That's a lot of money."
And he was like...

we sat there,
and we were like,

"We can do all this stuff.

Like, you have a

like rubbing his arm,

like, leaning on him,

get comfy, and...

We were like,

chose Ryder and Monica,

they were walking

[Dennis] We don't care
if you're a celebrity,

we don't care if
you're a billionaire.

You can't do drugs
in my house.

[DeAnne] That is as
far from the truth...

as you could possibly get.

[Madison] Dennis
saying that he had

a strict no drugs policy,

I felt like that
was just for show,

'cause all the girls there
I had met had a secret

drug problem, including
myself at the time.

They didn't check bags.

They didn't have
nobody searched...

for safety or anything.

So, if somebody
wanted to get high,

who's stopping them?

[DeAnne] We found drugs
in women's rooms.

There was syringes
with needles.

A tourniquet.
I took a picture of this.

weakness was that

Like, we just
went to bed.

We slept in the bed

Nothing happened.

I did go into work just
to check on things.

I spoke with Lamar

t.

Former NBA star,

stressful because

we don't really
deal with that much

in our small community.

The Sheriff basically says
that she's gonna do

a press conference,
and she wants to show

that we're on
this thing,

command staff,

will be held liable for what
happened to Lamar Odom?

[Sheriff] That's possible at
the end of our investigation

if we find that, ah...

that someone at the brothel
is responsible, ah,

then yes, of course,
they would be.

[Reporter] If someone at
the brothel held back

that they knew he was
doing drugs,

would they face charges
for obstructing justice

or something like that?

[Sheriff] They could be,

if we found out that
that were true.

[Reporter] Is it possible
they could lose

their license,
the brothel?

[Sheriff] Yes,
it's possible,

if they're found of
any wrongdoing.

Lamar is being driven from

Desert View Hospital
in Pahrump...

to Las Vegas.

Ideally, for an
emergency situation,

you would transport a
patient via helicopter,

there was no drug use...

Ridiculous.

[Monica] Ryder,
I think she got into drugs

really bad, like,

And then got help and got

on a prescription

Her prescription of methadone
was a red juice-like

substance in a bottle,
like a pill bottle.

And she had, like,
4 or 5 bottles.

I don't think she
offered it to Lamar,

because it wasn't something

So, the Nye County
Sheriff's Office actions

from looking at the report
shows that they conducted

a thorough investigation,
in my opinion.

Um,
they checked the room,

they took a lot
of photographs.

At first, they started
investigating it

as a medical emergency.

And then after interviews,

they started trying
to eliminate,

was it a medical
emergency or was it

a drug overdose?

Um, that's why detectives
did a blood draw.

It was like a day or two
after the incident.

I started my emergency
services career in 1992.

I joined the fire department
as a volunteer.

And then in 2001,
I became an EMT.

And I left there and went
through the academy

and hit the street as a
patrol officer in 2004.

So, my knowledge
as an EMT,

I've seen a lot of the drug
overdoses in my career.

People very rarely recover,

and it does so much
damage to people...

that, you know,

these situations
are so hard to deal with,

with family,
and it's just bad to

bring that into a business.

♪

From looking
at the report,

it shows that the blood
drawn from the hospital

and taken
by officers to the lab,

it was determined that there
was very little amounts of

a cocaine metabolite.

Other than that, there was
nothing in the system.

But small amount stuff
is being pushed out

through the urine.

So, it's continuing
to come out.

That's why,
in my opinion,

that's why some of the
results were low.

[Reporter] The former
basketball star,

who wound up unconscious
in a brothel,

Lamar Odom, this would be
an enormous change

if true,
listen now.

Moments ago, we heard
from a publicist

from Lamar Odom's
family...

that Lamar Odom
gave a thumbs up

and actually said
good morning today.

When I heard
that Lamar was showing

some signs of life,
it was very exciting.

But I quickly heard
from physicians that...

we don't know
what this means.

I mean,
he could still die.

If he does...

survive, we don't know what
Lamar is gonna look like,

what he's gonna sound like,
if he can walk.

He's probably
not gonna walk.

Like, we didn't know what
kind of Lamar would...

leave the hospital.

I was so happy
when I found out

Lamar was
gonna make it,

and even more thrilled
when I found out

how he was doing.

And I was really, truly
speechless and emotional

when I got to talk to him
for the first time.

♪

Is Lamar Odom's
survival a miracle?

And from everything
I reviewed...

it is a miracle.

The way it works in Nevada,

especially in
Nye County, is...

they do an investigation,
and if they determine

somebody needs
to be charged,

the officers recommend
charges to

the District Attorney's
Office.

Then the District Attorney's
Office evaluates it

and determines if charges
should be brought.

So, what occurred in
Lamar Odom's case

was that the Nye County
Sherrif's Office

recommended
charges of, uh,

under the influence of
a controlled substance,

which by the blood results,
was cocaine.

For a case charge,
where did he obtain that,

is the biggest question.

Was he given drugs
by other people?

That question by the report
still appears unknown.

They talked to some people.

Ah, the officers did.

And they interviewed several
of the brothel employees.

It appears that they never
really determined that.

He knows that he has not
lived the perfect life,

but I think he can really
change people

The Lamar Odom incident

affected Love Ranch
Vegas' reputation

in several ways.

Drugs in a brothel
is a bad thing.

Nobody wants that.

It's very low, and...

it doesn't scream safety.

The fact that the press
was crawling all over

the brothel,
clients don't want, ah,
