One Delta flight was interrupted by the sight of former NBA player Lamar Odom, who was said to be intoxicated and vomiting.

Odom got on to the red-eye Delta flight that was scheduled to fly from Los Angeles to New York City on Monday night. Some people saw him drinking in the lounge.

"Two passengers in first class tell TMZ that Lamar went to 4B and sat down, but as the plane was about to pull back he bolted for the front, threw up in the galley and then walked in the bathroom and with the door open threw up again. When he came out of the bathroom, we're told he had vomit on his clothes."

He was firmly guided out of the plane, and the mess he created on the floor was cleaned up. His belongings too were collected and removed.

But just 10 minutes later, he came back on the aisle with vomit on his sweatpants and sat down again. Just a few minutes later, he got up, steadied himself by using people's heads, and went back to vomit in the bathroom.

His co-passenger recognized him and told a flight attendant: "Don't you know his history? I don't want a dead body at 30,000 feet."

Odom was removed from the plane again, and the flight took off to arrive 40 minutes late in NYC.

The plane commented: "Delta takes customer privacy very seriously and declines to comment further."

Odom's past is not too pretty. He was recovering from an October 2015 overdose at a brothel in Nevada. His wife, reality TV staple Khloé Kardashian has now filed for divorce in May for the second time. Rumors whisper that she has cut him off financially.
