Kobe Bryant got his potential game winning shot blocked last night as the Lakers lost and now he also wants to try and block his divorce. He says it is for the sake of his children and I say it is for the sake of his wallet. Endorsements have fallen off for the star since the allegation of sexual assault a few years ago and the settlement that followed. Kobe would be left with about $75M if the divorce with Vanessa goes through. Obviously a lot of money, but not the $400M everyone thought Kobe had. Even though it looks like it would take fingers and toes of at least two people to count the number of affairs Kobe has had during his marriage he wants to stay together for the kids. There are also rumors that Vanessa has been finding a place to rest her head some nights, including that of professional boxer, Victor Ortiz. This looks like this is either going to be a very nasty divorce or Kobe will pay extra to keep it very very quiet.
Some men want their cake, and it too. Kobe wants to go home to his wife and kids, but still sleep around with every cheap groupie who throws herself his way.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like he will stop fucking around on her, and it is not like she will turn into a nice person. What's the point?
ReplyDeleteHe is so disgusting. Most people couldn't even dream of spending $75M in their lifetime.
ReplyDeleteHe was supposed to be the next Jordan, and I'll bet he had dollar signs in his eyes from all the endorsements he anticipated.
ReplyDeleteHe f'd that all up by attacking that girl in Colorado. Karma's a bitch who doesn't appreciate sexual assault.
If I were Vanessa, I would NOT look back. She'll be lucky if she doesn't have a life-long STD from that jerk.
Take the money and run Vanessa...
ReplyDeleteOn the STD she probably already has it..
I hope she uses some of that money on a stylist.
ReplyDeletei think they're both asshats, but i can't help being glad she listened to counsel and waited until she'd crossed the 10 yr mark...i think she'll blow right thru the $, but it serves him right.
ReplyDeleteGold Digger is not going back to him. She is through and just wants her cash.
ReplyDeleteAll that money and she still hasn't done anything about those awful teeth. It doesn't help matters that she's a horrible human being.
ReplyDeleteblech cheaters and pedophiles they are never sorry for what they did, they are just sorry they got caught.
ReplyDeleteKobe can't stay faithful. Like I say, these men want the respect of being married but want to live their sexual lives like single men. You can't have both.
I've read that Kobe may have stashed some money in secret accounts. I can believe that. He was dumb not to have a pre-nup, but he may have covered his financial behind another way.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that some of the documents (that I've seen) that were filed in the rape case will make its way into the divorce case. Pretty sure Kobe will lose even more endorsements and fans if people knew the truth about what really happened. He is one sadistic f*ck.
ReplyDeleteDon't get the gold digger git, I thought she married him before he became a sport's star?
ReplyDeleteLeave him. The kids don't need to learn that cheating and purposefully being selfish and destroying your family by making STUPID decisions is acceptable. F-Kobe Bryant.
ReplyDeleteRun Vanessa!
No, Rita: Kobe came into the NBA in 1996. He married Vanessa in April 2001.
ReplyDeleteShe's seen as a gold digger, especially in light of her video vixen past. Look up "eastsidaz g'd up" on Youtube and you'll see her writhing around in a gold bikini. Which wouldn't be that bad, except I think she was only 16-17 at the time. It's pretty widely accepted that she was looking to 'wife up' so to speak.
@Layna Day - Huh, the more you know, enter rainbow with a star.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea. I thought she was with him before he got recruited...
@Rita what might be throwing you off is the fact that Kobe turned pro right after high school. And then he started dating Vanessa when *she* was in high school. Her parents told him to "put a ring on it" since she was underage and they could have him charged with statutory rape. Or so they say.
ReplyDeletehmmm...Is falling for someone that has money automatically a gold digger? How do we know she's such a horrible person? if she was so horrible, why couldn't he just leave her and live his playboy lifestyle as he wished? Tiger woods much? Come on people...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I hope this player gets played lovely. Good for her for relaying on that boxer. An eye for an eye baby! Love it...
Yeah Rita, I remember the PR firm I worked for in 2000 threw a party for The Lakers after they won the championship. His sister showed up, but Kobe was nowhere in sight; when asked his sister said he was home
ReplyDelete" booed up with Vanessa"
She met him at 17 and I don't know if that's illegal in California as he was only 21. Well obviously it must not be if that Stodden chick is married to a 50 something year old man.
Run Vanessa! She's out of his age range now. Take the money and run girl!!
ReplyDelete@ LauraM: falling for someone at 17 doesn't make one a gold digger. But the RUMORS (granted, just rumors) suggest that Vanessa and her mother were looking to get Vanessa in good with a rich rapper or athlete. Hence, the short music video career which promptly ended when she met Kobe. It could be a lie, but I tend to believe, for what little that's worth.
