Moniece Slaughter pissed some people off when she called out celebrity worshipers and compared Lamar Odom's brothel story to a soldier who took a grenade to save lives. The Love & Hip Hop Hollywood star took major shots from fans after she slammed the attention Odom's story was getting and found herself in the middle of an Instagram drama. Through it all though, Slaughter is standing by her post and fighting with the fan commenters who attacked her post.

Slaughter reposted the Instagram snapshot of the soldier side, by side with the former NBA star, and estranged husband, of Khloe Kardashian, the photo read on the soldier's side, "Took a grenade to save lives, no press during recovery." Whereas Odom’s photo said, “Took drugs at a whore house to get high, press updates every hour of his recovery."

Caution: Strong Language in Photo

Fed up with some of the backlash she had received following posting the comparison up above, Slaughter snapped back and pointed out that they were defending the wrong thing. She wrote, "I'm not saying Lamar's life doesn't matter. Since you hypersensitive f*cks took my 1st comment so personally let me rephrase it for you. I have 2 brothers, one is an addict, I have a grandpa I don't know because he's an addict, I have a great grandma I didn't get to meet because she died from addiction! I didn't devalue Lamar's life, discredit his struggle, or bash him fo his mistakes," the reality star explained. Slaughter added, "I bashed society's way of thinking. For if we didn't glorify one more than the other, media portrayal and coverage wouldn't be what it is."

Caution: Strong Language in Photo

Despite the bullying attempt by some, there were others who sided with Slaughter on this issue. Check out some of their Instagram comments below:

  • dakotayael "How often does anyone remember that there are men and women risking life and limb for our right to freedom everyday. Its not an attack on Lamar Odom, it is an attack on the state of America, and what appears to be a clueless generation. Wake-up, we won't always be able to keep the enemy from our homeland!"
  • _mrsgreen22 "My husband is an Active Duty soldier .... He has friends that have died defending our country I can tell you 100% every single one of their family would have loved to see if get media covered. FREEDOM ISN'T FREE ! I think people tend to gp"
  • _mrsgreen22 "To forget that getting caught up and blinded by the glitz and glitter of "Hollywood" so I do agree we need reminders."

MStars News wants to know what you think, was Slaughter speaking truth about the media covering a celebrity too much verses a soldier's heroic story, and about how people follow celebrities with such devotion?

Last time we checked in on Odom, he was doing better after coming out of his coma. The former Los Angeles Lakers star was found last week unresponsive at Dennis Hof's Love Ranch brothel in Nevada after partying for several days. Odom was fighting for his life, but has started to breathe on his own.

His estranged wife, Khloe Kardashian, and the rest of her family has been by Odom's side since he was taken to a Las Vegas hospital. When he finally opened his eyes, Odom uttered the words: "Hey, baby" to Kardashian. The reality star flew Odom's ex, and the mother of his kids, Liza Morales, and Odom's dad, Joe Odom, along his two kids, Destiny, and Lamar Jr. out to Vegas to be with their father.

Hopefully the troubled 35-year-old will make a full recovery and get the help he needs.
