“I don’t know what happened. It was a big surprise to me,” Jenner, 60, said when asked about the alleged incident. “All I can say is I just want the very best for him because he’s like my son. He’s a part of my family and I adore him. He’s the best. He’s the best! He’s the greatest guy in the world and anybody that knows him will tell you the same thing.”

Jenner has been vocal on the current season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians about wanting to protect and help Odom, who allegedly got drunk on Monday, July 11, prior to jetting off to New York City to surprise his son for his birthday.

“You just want the best for anyone that you love,” she continued. “I think that what I have learned through all of this is that anybody who’s struggled with addiction, it’s a disease and I’ve learned a lot … you can’t judge somebody else unless you’re really walking in their shoes and that’s what I’ve learned.”
