Figured this belongs under entertainment.
I’m of the opinion that either Kobe was simply having an affair with the woman (following MJ’s adulterous ways), or the woman is simply making the whole thing up.
I think I would have to agree.
Most of the time when it comes to Multi millionare men that are messing around with women will get caught up in scandal. It makes sense to me. First this lady he’s messing with has to know who he is, what he’s worth, and that he’s married. It probably pissed her off that she can’t have him for herself so she says she was abused/taken advantage of/raped to get a couple million out of the situation, slander his name, and fuck up his family life.
I’m not saying this is all on her because he should be faithful to his wife, but it looks like she’s going for some quick cash.
The lesson here is to not be fucking around on your wife with gold diggin bitches or just don’t get married. I go with the latter. I mean can you really trust someone to marry you for yourself and not your money when your at that level? It’s possible.
Now I could be all wrong and he could be a dusche(sp?) bag and actually done something wrong. But if I were him and was going to cheat on my wife I think I could find plenty of women who would want the opportunity and not abuse someone unwilling.
Yeah, I’ve thought about that. How do you know if your wife is really into you, if you’re Bill Gates?
Admittedly, most women are looking for some kind of security anyway, but at that level, you could buy a marriage with so many people, even if you didn’t mean to.
I guess he learned his lesson. So much for being ‘a family man’.
Smacks of ‘another celeb run afoul of a psycho’ doesn’t it? What goes around comes around.
The few reports I’ve read so far say nothing more specific than “sexual misconduct.”
Apparently they have enough evidence for an arrest warrant, but no one will even commit to the fact that he will actually be charged.
My question:
What happened?
Anyone have any idea (or what the woman involved alleges to have happened)?
Being familiar with Vail, however, they usually will bend over backwards to not drag celebs into the mix. If there is nothing there, or little, they will usually manage to solve the problems without an arrest.
The arrest is out of character with Vail law enforcement unless the grounds are relatively serious.
Kobe was a student of my mother’s, and she says (for what it’s worth), “this just does not sound like him at all.”
The intriguing thing about this is that the DA, who would have to press any charges, is like “Huh? The sheriff’s office arrested who?”
I was all prepared to enter this thread and read a bunch of people slamming Bryant before he was even convicted. Instead, we get the other idiotic extreme, with people slamming the woman as a “gold digging bitch” without any evidence to support the assertion.
It might well play out that way, but how about we wait a bit before jumping to knee-jerk conclusions.
