Khloe Kardashian is responding to allegations that her husband Lamar Odom‘s charity is not funneling the $2.2 million it has raised so far to the cause it supports. The charity, Cathy’s Kids (named after Lamar’s late mother who died of cancer), was established in 2004 with a mission to raise funds for cancer-related causes.

But ESPN’s Outside the Lines which investigated the tax returns of several athlete-created charities reported that 60% of the money collected by Lamar’s charity has gone “to finance two elite youth basketball travel teams” with no evidence that the remaining $900,000 went to cancer research either.

To make matters more confusing, when asked about the charity funds by a reporter, Odom waved away the reporter saying, “It’s my money.”

Khloe is now standing up for her man in a new blog post and explains that Odom meant that he’s personally contributed 90% of that fund and none of the funds have gone “to help Lamar personally or any member of his family.” Khloe said:

“No charitable funds were misused, and the IRS has repeatedly given Cathy’s Kids a clean bill of health, confirming that there were no improprieties.”

Kardashian further explains that Cathy’s Kids was not set-up to assist cancer patients and/or research only.

“A decision was ultimately made that the charity should… enrich the lives of underprivileged inner-city youth. It accomplished that goal. Cathy’s Kids helped fund multiple AAU basketball teams providing underprivileged youth with opportunities enriching their lives, providing financial support for coaching and travel to tournaments, helping inner-city youth on a path toward success and leading many participants to go on to college.”
