Why Joe Odom Spoke Out Against The Kardashians

The Joe Odom rebuttal on criticism about him is a good example of why many celebrity families keep their mouths shut, digress from interview questions, or always have something positive to say even when attacked.  It was apparent that Odom's aging father slipped with his negative retort--he wasn't slow to respond; therefore he had to backtrack on what he said about his son's in-laws--even if there was some truth in it.  In the end, Joe Odom would not be considered a credible source if any mainstream media outlet should want to interview him.  However, the opposite might be true.  Celebrity family members are paid well to keep quiet.  Some vanish, die, sit quietly in a 'hood, are escorted out the country, publically reprimanded in a variety of ways that include shame, sign confidentiality agreements, and more so that they don't tell or keep sharing family business which might impact another's income source(s).  There is more to being in front of the public than meets the eye.
