Vanessa Bryant and Kobe Bryant are giving it another shot. I'm not sure why. She was getting half his money and was not going to have him cheating on her everyday. So, why put up with it? I'm sure the domestic help population is happy Kobe is going to be back in Vanessa's life because he was the buffer between Vanessa and pure misery for the staff. As for all the women that Kobe has been seeing? I guess Vanessa is probably ok with it. I mean if your husband cheats constantly and you take him back repeatedly, aren't you just saying it is ok? If you take him back after he allegedly raped another woman then you know you are probably never going to leave him.
Sure, he's trying to get all that money back...
ReplyDeleteHe wants to keep all the money, she wants the fame that being Mrs. Kobe Bryant gives her. His bank account stays in tact, and she can be queen among the Lakers' wives. It's just that simple with these two.
ReplyDeleteThat's no longer a marriage it's a business transaction, and Kobe is looking out for the bottom line.
ReplyDeleteShe loses any and all sympathy. He could systematically rape and murder 25 women (in hypothetical land), and I would have an iota sympathy for her.
ReplyDeleteIt's absolutely a business transaction. Gross.
I HATE THEM BOTH! ESPECIALLY HIM.
ReplyDelete@ Amber - gross is the perfect word for it.
ReplyDeleteway to go Vanessa. Great example you are setting for your daughters.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the reasons are totally selfish, but I don't care because at least the kids will have their two natural parents present in the home and be spared the trauma of their family disintegrating which is a lot more than most offspring of celebs have.
ReplyDeleteHow do they do it?! I cant even get with anybody that I dont think is the same as me in some kind of level! I hate cute guys couse they think too much of them selves... The rest is too dawm shy... Its impossible these days. I just dont get these stuped ass b@&$% who are able to do this kind of sh&#!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, its Valentines Day in Brazil today "and I I I I aint got noboooooody!!"
Hahahha
They deserve each other.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand his face and attitude. She is just a gold digger with no morals.
ReplyDeleteKnowing Vanessa she is probably shopping a reality tv series about the two.
ReplyDeleteNo "alleged" about it. He raped her. If you'd seen the court documents that I did that never got filed, you would never feel the same way about KB again.
ReplyDeleteWhen Kobe is nervous, he keeps licking his lips in a disgusting fashion. Vanessa has probably endured a whole lotta lip licking during their ordeal. That alone would make my gag reflex kick in and not take his nasty ass back. On top of everything else.
ReplyDeleteI agree with nunaurbiz - he ADMITTED raping her in the civil compromise agreement which was released publicly. His statement didn't say the word RAPE, but it admitted all the elements. It included a public apology for not listening to her.
ReplyDeleteHaving sex with a person after not listening to her tell you no is rape.
What nunaurbiz said. Kobe dd atrocious things to the woman he raped. He should be in prison. And what parissucksliterally said - mom is setting a great example to those kids. GAH.
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone's sentiments, yuck, it's a business arrangement, not a marriage. Don't worry LeGrange, you will find somebodyyyy. I married a gorgeous short man and I'm tall and curvy, so you never know how it's going to work out. I always dated older unattractive guys, and my husbands younger and fiiiine. We fell in deep love, it's funny how things happen. Valentine's day is bullshit, just go out with friends and find some other lonely people to hang out with. Not everyone's coupled up.
ReplyDeleteIf she is worth a piss, this is some clever plan. But considering her choices, sigh. For some women, money is better than self respect. Ojala, but for the grace of the universe, go I.
ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe I'm just way too curious about disgusting things, but I want to read the account of what he really did.
ReplyDeleteIm sure Ive mentioned before Im a super obsessed Lakers fan, and I love Kobe Bryant the BASKETBALL player. Anything else he seems like a total douche and she seems like a real bitch so I guess theyre perfect for each other.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I don't, do not, understand how any woman -- or man, for that matter -- puts up with a serially cheating spouse. I can't imagine. Maybe if you don' love or even really like him/her, I guess. Then you'd be glad that someone else is taking on his/her shit, I suppose. But why stay married to someone you don't like? So much of life is mysterious to me.
ReplyDeleteWell, at least she has pretty going for her... (cough cough)
ReplyDeleteHorrible.
It doesn't make any sense to say she's staying with him for money. She was going to get half anyway. There must be something more going on here.
ReplyDelete@angel, I think divorce is better for kids than their parents staying in an unhappy volatile (and possibly violent) marriage.
I second what Trey said about divorce being better for kids than a shitcan marriage.
ReplyDeleteI knew she was never going to join the first wives club. She has the best of both worlds now. The power of staying Queen of the Lakers wives. And she is financially set since he deeded over 3 homes to her and a pile of cash for a rainy day.
ReplyDeletewasn't she a teenager when they got married or am I thinking of another basketball player?
ReplyDeleteHard to hate on a woman who seems emotionally stunted and used to be taken care of after her parents pretty much forced him to marry her or face accusations of stat rape.
I think he's a pig, I think she's just a sad waste of what could have been a vibrant, beautiful woman.
Match made in hell.
ReplyDeleteI can't even with this story, they are both gross.
ReplyDelete@ABlake: Vanessa was 17 when they started dating, 18 or 19 when they got married. Kobe was around 20 when they first met and while I don't think he was forcing her into anything, legally speaking, it would have been statutory rape.
ReplyDeleteIt's widely rumored that her mother always knew about the relationship and encouraged it, knowing she had the stat rape card up her sleeve if necessary.
Thanks Layna, I don't follow basketball (or it's players) though my bf is a HUGE Lakers fan. He won't talk gossip with me because it involves people 'he likes to see play/act'.
ReplyDeleteShame her parents seemed to be in on it. It's like Courtney Stodden pre-internet saturation
How is 17 and 20 statutory rape ages?
ReplyDeleteBackground from NY Post tonight on holding off the divorce:

Reno, I think it depends on which state you live in. Some statutory rape laws take a small age difference into account, some don't.
ReplyDeleteFrom my admittedly limited knowledge, it's more progressive states that have amended their laws to account for a small age difference. In former 'frontier' states (old-fashioned), like mine, the stat rape laws are more black & white...IMO because the 'taking' of a daughter's virginity 'ruins' her value to pass off as a wife. I'm NOT saying people still think that way so much as that it's more ingrained in the culture. That's just my opinion from growing up in farm country.
Please don't flame me...I love my state. But I can't deny the 'woman as property' culture that just keeps hanging on out here!
In California it's statutory rape if one of the partners is under 18, but not, IIRC, if both are under 18. Technically, I could still be prosecuted for "raping" my future wife when we were in college, because she was only 17 when we started dating.
ReplyDeleteIs that true about California? Because I thought they changed it about a decade ago. I have a lot of family out there. Thankfully no Bryants, Kardashians, or rapists.
ReplyDeleteI distinctly remember a discussion one Christmas. But women WERE in short supply during Cali's boom, so maybe they count as 'progressive' AND 'frontier.' lol
(And I just want to thank 8-pound baby Jesus that 'Kardashian" is STILL not in spellcheck. Let's pray they never get the dignity of being a real word!)
By the way, I haven't googled stat rape laws by now, because I think that search makes the cops come.
ReplyDeleteA hard dick has no conscious when it is connected to someone as nasty as he is. Watch it, he is gonna bring her home something that lysol/pine sol/clorox will not wash off.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen her hands? They're HUGE and STRONG! She has got his balls and she is holding TIGHT!!!
ReplyDelete^Thanks guys, I honestly thought 17was considered consensual in all states. I don't know why I thought that.
ReplyDeleteReno, we always end up here together! ha!
ReplyDeleteThe big problem is your 'consent' as a minor means nothing if your parents get mad at the guy. There are enough stories to wallpaper my house about parents who knew their underage daughter was having sex, but get mad about something else later and get the guy arrested out of spite. Like over car deals and stuff, with age differences of just 2 or 3 years. It's ridiculous.
Doesn't exonerate the guy, libby.
ReplyDeleteBoo hoo, poor accused guy my ass.
May want to try again if that's your angle.
She made her bed and now Kobe can cheat in it. I don't feel for either one.
ReplyDeleteMy Mum always says... "Kobe Bryant's wife looks soooo mean."
She obviously doesn't care what he did and probably couldn't find anybody with as much money who will put up with her crap.
Elin Woods was the exception, not the norm.
It's a misdemeanor if there is less than three years difference in age in California.
ReplyDeleteIn Oregon, you're safe if there is 3 years or less and if it's 5 years or less you don't become a registered sex offender. I call it the "high school rule".
The phrase "beauty is only skin deep" was never more appropriate than it is here.
ReplyDelete@libby: "8-pound baby Jesus" is my new go-to phrase! LOL!
@nunaurbiz I had heard the victim consented to vaginal sex but he raped her anally. Is any of that true?
ReplyDeleteKobe's an A1 asshole and Vanessa's a golddigging bitch. They deserve each other.
