Former basketball player Lamar Odom believes he should have protected ex-wife Khloe Kardashian like actor Will Smith. While the ex-NBA star, 42, did not accept the actions of Smith, who smacked comedian Chris Rock when he made a joke about wife Jada's shaven head at the Oscars, Odom feels the actor does not have to explain his antics.

Odom claimed that Smith had done what a husband is expected to and had he done the same, he would still be married to Khloe. "Would I have hit him?, No, but he did what a husband is called to do. Protect his wife, from anything and anyone who causes her pain. Had I protected my wife versus mentally, emotionally and spiritually hurting her, I may still be married," he wrote on Instagram recently.

Odom said Smith's reaction was a result of his love for Jada. "I see everyone arguing the merits of this altercation, taking side, dragging them both to hell when it all boils down to love. He loves his wife. She was hurting, it is a husband's responsibility to protect his wife. That is what he vowed to God and her, he owes us ZERO explanation as to why he chose to hit @chrisrock," he explained.
