Say what you want, but she stood by this man! Even after everything, she stayed and loved him. Kept her family together and you never heard anything else after this about Kobe.
LMAO Would you leave KOBE BRYANT if he cheated? The multi-millionaire athlete superstar? Cmon girl.. Kobe did cheat after this many more times tho. I love Kobe , i cried when i heard about his passing. Im telling u this, cuz u probably will think that stating facts will make me look like a hater.
@@LifeIsNotorious well yea, vanessa's top value isn't loyalty. Husband's status is more important, i guess. Watch TMZ interview that she did. She told, if he wasn't a champ she would leave him. Vanessa chose STATUS over loyalty. Respect to those women who left the other cheaters. We all deserve loyalty and love ( if we give it back tho)
Juanita is an attorney. She came into the relationship with status. She didn't have to play second fittle. She knew she would be financially secure and could still keep her dignity and self respect.
Xyle Zentry, I agree with you totally, Kobe cheated on his wife. Looking at all his interviews, his relationship with his children, with his family, you can tell that this event help shape him into a better man, husband, and father. Kobe wouldn't rape anyone. His Legacy is already speaking for him. God continue to comfort and bless his family.
It's not the most the mistake that determines someone's character. It's what they do after the mistake.. what they learn and how they lead their life since that time. Kobe wasn't perfect (no one is), but he grew and learned from the experience. He became a phenomenal husband and father. He learned to appreciate his blessings. I have the utmost respect for him and wish nothing but good things for Vanessa and the girls.
@Stratus You need to check your facts. It is consensual. The girl is only after Kobe's money. Hotel staff saw the woman smiling after they had sex. Semen from different man is found on her panty. In an interview, the girls friend told she is bragging that he had slept with Kobe. She did not testify cause she knows her friend will stand against her and semen off different men found on her panty will back fire. So the case just become civil Suit.
Are you serious? He has all that .....yet willing to lose it ALL for a piece of arse!! He's a liar, a cheater and God knows be what else! SAD!! It's all the LIES......if he'd come clean? It's 100% BETTER......than playing victim!
Yes just ask Michael Jackson. He was falsely accused more than once. This girl filed a civil lawsuit against Kobe which is about MONEY. You can't file a civil suit without making very very serious and ugly accusations. I believe that is exactly what she did.
Vanessa is really a beautiful woman inside and out. He was lucky to have her by his side. But so sad and heart breaking that he died so young and widowed her
Robert Fernandez she would have been just as rich if she divorced him with child support and 50% of all he have. I think most people know they loved each other dearly. Rich people also feel love...
No it doesn’t. She married to a man who has as much fame as anyone, and millions upon millions of dollars, she still has a lot of things to worry about, but not money. Wives mourn every day, fathers die every day. Nothing special
She looked like a zombie....barely blinked....I know that was one of the hardest days of their lives....for her...up until now. My heart aches for her. No woman should have to bury her lifelong love AND her child.💔💔
No, honey that's called guilt! It's written all over his face, his demeanor. Look at his reaction to the speech his attorney is giving, watch him CLOSELY.
@@MsBlissfulLady Yes Ive heard that....I didnt know the miscarriage happened before that interview....oh my goodness...grief upon grief.. then....grief upon grief X 1000 now💔
And jealous, that world wide people mourn about the death of Kobe. That so many big atletes cry about him. From Djokovic, Hamilton, Kirjous, Shaq, Lebron, Bolt etc etc. They could'nt have it, so they bring this old sh@#, to tear his legacy down. But no one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes. And he had learn from his mistake. And he was blessed with a loving, beautiful family. RIP Kobe and Gigi.
YOU BET WAS THERE OTHER'S PROBABLY HE SHOULD OF STAYED SINGLE TILL 35 APPROX THEN THINK ABOUT GETTING MARRIED WHY ARE WE TALKIN ABOUT THIS ANYWAY I ACTUALLY DIDNT NO ABOUT THIS I DONT FOLLOE B BALL RIP guy
You could tell she truly loved him as hurt as she must have been. There is an eagerness in her eyes to communicate to Kobe her love remains. I'm glad they endured together.
Because she knew that the payoff would be that she would get the benefits of hundreds of millions of dollars. That's not called strong. That's called extremely superficial and fake and shallow and empty, and money-hungry and gold digger and greedy.
And it will continue to be dark days for this family when at least 2 other families sue Kobe’s estate for multiple MILLIONS . And they will win. That helicopter had no damn business taking off in pea soup fog
@@boskoboskovic6811 you are acting like she planned the helicopter crash or something, how could she know he was going to die young? Dude was only 41 and their daughter died too. If she stayed for the money good for her, she's rich now but has to bear the pain of losing a daughter
@@viralbuthow000 Juanita left Michael and Ellen left Tiger. They had more money without a rape charge. Plus a lot of women don't leave their broke ass husbands for the same shit so come on now.
@@jessicavelez5969 all I know is God is fair, karma is real. Just don't do bad things, and everything will be fine. Everything happens for a reason, there is no accident in life.
Inigo Bantok so because he didn’t get sponsorships his image was forever tarnished. sponsorships and money don’t mean shit compared to a HOF career, top 10 of all time ranking and his legacy when he was still well and alive
Nah. We shouldn't have to live with a cheater. She just secured his money. Of course she was going to forgive him. If he was a nobody, she would have ran for the hill.
Think I fell in love with Kobe at this pointttttt and gained mad respect for Vanessa. She could hve walked away with half of everything no questions asked....but she stood by her man through it all. RIP KOBE. We all deserve to experience real love at least once in this lifetime....I'm glad you did💞
Yo the fact that Vanessa is consoling her husband while still visibly upset and hurting by him is so admirable. That shows character and strength in ways packing her crap and ghosting him wouldn’t have. People say strong women leave , clearly some strong women are the ones who stay. Y’all put some respect on this woman’s name ! She held it down !
Kay A and so you’re implying that she would have had the baby had she left and proceeded with a divorce while pregnant ? Do you hear yourself ? I’m not saying what she should have done I saying that she made a decision that was a STRONG one and deserves respect.
For the people that can’t fathom a woman OR man (had to throw that in there since cheating is stereotyped as a man thing) standing by their SPOUSE during infidelity , I think the issue is assuming every motive behind infidelity is the SAME. And since every couple facing such circumstances aren’t the same either, there is no wrong or right way of handling this situation. Some of y’all do need to leave . But some of y’all need to fight because what’s on the other side is worth much more. Do what’s best for YOUR marriage. It’s simply my personal opinion that Vanessa and Kobe seemed equipped to work through their problems. They CHOSE to. So why should that offend or bother us? There was this story of a couple who separated and the wife moved on with a new man. Well the kids one day told her that their dad still loved her. She got a call one day as he was in the World Trade Center about to die. He confessed that he still loved her and always will and she did too! Imagine it took that for them to admit how they truly felt. I wonder if they foresaw 9/11 would they have ever separated and instead worked through their issues? I wonder how many friends encouraged her to leave. Life is too short . I am happy that Vanessa at least doesn’t have to live with THIS regret. She was with the love of her life till the day he died. And NOBODY is about to demonize that . Again , put some respect on that woman’s name.
Kay A where did I compare “women” in a ride or die culture ? I compared two specific women who both experienced loss. Marriage is a formal ride or die concept. Marriage is accountability. Or do you people think the vows made at an altar are for show? You’re contradicting your own statements . I’m not here to paint broad strokes for all women based on Vanessa’s one decision and I think I made it pretty clear that there is no right or wrong choice but every couple must choose what is right for them. Kobe is dead , Vanessa is a widow and if she has no regrets for the almost 20 years of her marriage , then GET OVER IT ! Seriously!
@@Stuff7164 and she lost her daughter. Do you really think she gives a flying f that she has the "whole estate", when she already had it?! They've been together since she was 17 years old, and they most likely weren't separating any time soon. The woman lost half of her family in the blink of an eye. She has to bury her husband & her 13 year old daughter, but you're acting like she just won the lottery.... So twisted.
I’ve always wanted to ask Kobe u were so dedicated to basketball what made u marry so young where you couldn’t even provide the same dedication in the marriage. They blocked me after that and rightfully so
The man made a mistake, owned up to it on an international platform, apologized, and worked on making things right, esp to his wife. Leave him be. Rest In Peace, Kobe.
Vanessa is a strong women. She showed her strength in the begining of their relationship. She showed he strength during their marriage. And she showed her strength at his memorial. I admire her strength. She would have still been rich if she would have left. Maybe even richer. 🤔
@@dianagarcia938 lol. I am pretty sure everyone "whose" read my comment "new" it was a typo error. Yes, I know I should have used "knew" not "new" and "who" not "whose". 🤣🤣🤣. This is the only place you are allowed to make grammer errors.
Everyone make mistakes and sometimes it’s unforgivable but no one is perfect. He has become a great father. I’ve watch their videos and after 20yrs of marriage he still never stop cuddling her and kiss her. Most men don’t do that after a few years into a relationship. She is a strong and very determined woman to want to stay with him, being a great stay at home mom. Most women that pretty will go to one men to another but she stay put. Very proud of beautiful Venessa.
@sam 7 no evidence then stfu because I doubt you go so hard towards big Ben in his accusations doubt you even talk about it but you hypocrites will bring up Kobe who was only accused once of something he obviously didn't do because what rape victim brags about being raped like the so called victim
you are so right, he loved her, and never stopped showing affection, kissing, holding hand, and didn;t care if he was at his game, or any where else, just look at diddy video n-day party in december,
This was Kobe's most humbling and humiliating experience as a basketball star!! If anything, this only made him a stronger man. Just imagine millions watching you admit in committing adultery and most of them are against you. On top of that you're a public figure across the world and have to announce it to them. It must be very hard to be in that position. Now you wonder why Kobe is so calm under pressure.
@@ChiefOttoSo look bro I get it, he was a hero in a lot of peoples eyes but he did what he did, there’s evidence bro if you wanna choose to ignore it that’s on you
@@lewiyonas3255 there’s evidence? Dude the girl was caught lying about her story and it didn’t match up, again Kobe is innocent you believe what you want RIP KOBE
Kiya Cherrae situations like this where there’s guilt and innocence all at play at the same time is hard to discern. I believe he intentionally made contact with this woman. I don’t believe he raped her. The guilt in his face is knowing he messed up with his wife. The tears is knowing that it’s COST him more than just his relationship .
When he says he loves his wife he tries to touch (cover) his left ear....so he tries to not hear this. I think his facial expressions say he is lying most of the time ....I'm sorry to say this, but that's my opinion. RIP Kobe.
I’d rather him be guilty of cheating than an assault and that’s why she stood by her husband as she should that’s between them and that’s why he chose her as his wife let the man Rest In Peace they are already grieving enough Vannessa my prayers are with you and the girls....
I dont know. He had released this statement through his lawyer apologizing to the victim and saying that even though he thought it was consensual he realizes that she did not. www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=1872928 The police asked him why she had bruises on her neck and he said that he liked to strangle women during sex it was his thing. He held her from the back around her neck.. he said he assumed consent because of her body language. The doctor examination saw vaginal trauma. If this was in the wake of the me too movement he would have been crucified.
Adrian Green thank you well if I was married and my husband cheated on me I wouldn’t divorce him they have been together 20 years I don’t think one mistake warrants a divorce that’s just my opinion we aren’t perfect and sometimes going through things makes people realize none of that is worth loosing their families he was younger I’m sure he wouldn’t make those same mistakes as a older more mature man
Followed this back then.... not to minimize a potential victim...but I don’t think he did anything but cheat, which takes 2. You never heard another thing about his character since. I’m glad his wife stayed by his side...huge diamond or not...she was hurt but obviously knew they were worth it. The man lived and learned by his mistake as evident in the way he has lived his life since. God bless this family❤️
@SunLi Tsong I researched this whole case and the victim lied about multiple parts of her story. She first claimed that he held her hostage after the alleged incident, then recanted. She also had sex with somebody else immediately and wore the dirty underwear to her rape exam. How can somebody be brutally attacked liked she claimed and have sex with somebody else right after?
@Bugrot I agree with your statement. I'm glad she stayed with him. They had a beautiful family together and what he must have poured into his girls! I pray all of them are surrounded with people who will lift them up during this time. Not just for the Bryant family but for all of the families devastated by this tragedy.
Idc I'm not sitting next to my 'husband' and holding his hand while he talks about cheating on me and on top of that with a woman who accused him of rape? FOH
Bro, when you have hundreds of millions of dollars like he did, every woman and any woman would give him all the chances in the world. They would give him an infinite number of chances. Why do you think Mafia wives and girlfriends always stick around and always stay with their mobster husbands and gangster husbands and mafia husbands.
@Crystal yes, those are called strong women; the "Back-Bobe". I salute those women who stick by their horny-ass, can keep this shit in their pants. I really do admire those types females. They're strong minded, and very few.
Not doormats. Why divorce a Man U truly love because of a mistake they are willing to repent from. Where’s the forgiveness and second chance. I mean if he showed arrogance and not wanting to change then yes, walk away!
It takes real balls to stay after being betrayed by your partner. I honestly do not know how she did it. And I honestly don't think is the money. When you get hurt like that there's no amount of money that takes away that pain, shame, and judgement from the public. I honestly have respect for her. And he also maned up to his stupidity. So I guess that says a lot about him. When a man or woman accept their mistakes, apologize for them and moves forward it says something about him or her.
I also stayed by a man who treated me like this. No, I wasn't strong, I felt I needed him to feel worthy and good about myself. Once I lost everything and lost him, that's when I got strong. No disrespect to Kobe in anyway, but she is not strong here. She's probabaly a lot stronger now when she's had no other choice.
Not surprising on the day he died this was brought up. Why is it when a celebrity passes away and they were involved intentionally or not, the worst of them is the first thing that comes out of their mouths? Kobe and his wife got through that rough time in their marriage and decided to stay together. Many couples have gone through infidelity and their marriage survived. RIP mamba ❤
We all make mistakes, yes this was one. Yes he got caught up with the lifestyle of groupies, etc. But marriage is a vow for better or worse. He without sin cast the first stone. RIP KOBE/GIGI
@@bw8450 Kobe is innocent. It is consensual. The girl is only after Kobe's money. Hotel staff saw the woman smiling after they had sex. Semen from 4 different men are found on her panty. In an interview, the girl's friends told she is bragging that he had slept with Kobe. She refused testify cause she knows her friend will stand against her and semen off different men found on her panty will back fire. So the case just become civil Suit.
"Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter." Kobe Bryant
He was forced to admit it was rape. When someone doesn't consent it is rape and he had to admit he did it against her consent which is rape.. And paid her millions not to testify because he was going to prison.. Just ask Mike Tyson.. Kobe was a rapist and most people don't know it was anal..I read the whole deposition. Forced anal and bleeding. He did everything he could to bury it and the media barely touched on the sodomy.
I said this then and I still say it today,we all need to clean our own back yard before we judge another man/woman.... Especially when we dont know the facts. God Bless.
Here are the facts for you. Read the article: www.thedailybeast.com/kobe-bryants-disturbing-rape-case-the-dna-evidence-the-accusers-story-and-the-half-confession
Many man would disappear after such an incident. I think Kobe got matured more than his age with this. And he somehow found a way to direct it to his game and actually work ethic. Because this can explain the insane work ethic he had. Feeling enormously sad and devastated, he put aside the pleasures of this world and gave %100 of himself to the game of basketball.
You would be marrying someone for the wrong reasons then. No wife-material would marry some skank ass has-been athlete who spent their whole career banging groupies.
There’s not a lot of athletes that are faithful to their wives. It comes with the territory of being an athlete because they have women everywhere throwing themselves at them. They should wait to marry their gf when they got it out of their system.
All bad....I still think that girl lied even though he cheated. We all make mistakes. I’m glad they fixed stuff. Sucks to be humiliated...her and Kobe. RIP Kobe.....
Mike Barker kobe did admit to having sex with her, but he claims he didn’t do anything against her will. I personally think the girl was lying to try and get money off of him. This was a mistake by Kobe, but he learned from it as always. He became something greater
Chris Hemsworth dude, he admitted to holding her down by the neck and jizzing in her face then told her to go clean herself up and don’t tell anyone. He admitted that he was choking her the whole time - but assumed it was consensual because that’s how he did it with another girl. It’s in the police report. The young woman came from a well off family and didn’t need his money. She was barely out of high school.
I feel bad for his wife. I read a story in a newspaper about her having a bad character. But damn, to stand there and listen to accusations towards your husband claiming that he raped another woman in the ass is cold. Cold blooded as Rick James would say.
Vanessa Bryant, I’ve admired her since I’ve known about a man named Kobe Bryant she is the true definition of a supportive wife & friend. No matter what she stood by Kobe through it all it’s a shame to lose a husband/ other half and her daughter all at once. Continuing to pray for her at all times.
I think it does qualify her to be a real one for staying with him during those allegations. Most people would get out of the situation as soon as it came up. But no she stayed through the whole process. I mean she definitely didn't need to be on the podium but she did!! She stayed and listen to all the crazy stuff that was said during the whole case. So yeah i think she's definitely a real one for staying with him after cause obviously the love was stronger.
It's crazy though because i only came up on this video right after kobe died. Maybe a couple of hours passed and people were bringing up the case, it honestly made me sick that they would. Let's just let this man rip!! I understand it was a very serious case and everything but we need to understand that this happened in 2003 long time ago. I'm not doing this because kobe fan lol. I grew up in Cleveland so you already know who my guy is but i just felt i needed to say something. 24/8
michelle wanjiru That wasn’t my question. The original commenter said, this only happened when “a woman loves her man”. As in the woman forgiving him for cheating. My question was if the roles were reversed would it be the same...
@@raquelv6856 well i think that wouldn't be the case because of toxic masculinity... If a woman cheats damn the judgement that comes with it is far much greater than when a man cheats
I actually think it's the other way around, he did this because he loves her, not because she loves him necessarily. I think the bigger cut is on Kobe's side kos If he didn't care about her they wouldn't have lasted this long. A real man owns up to His mistakes and changes His behavior 🙌 a good woman stands by her man's side 😬
Having a woman like this by your side, man it makes you feel you can go through anything and still be ok. It's as if she is one of your limbs and you could not ever be full without her. He was lucky.
He is lucky to have a wife with no self respect that stays with him even though he cheats on her for his money I’m happy he lived his life with his golddigging wife and she’s just such a strong woman for sticking up for a rapist 🙌🏼🙌🏼✨✨
This woman took 1/3 of his salary that year. We all know why they were together. Why do people pretend like these relationships are normal? She's basically a one-man hooker.
You haven't been seeing Russell Wilson? Stayed true to his heart, divorced the white woman he didn't love, married a black woman and carries through with love like a man of God. No cheating scandal. Boom.
This subject should not be discussed after his death. They dealt it inside their family. I believe that he would never assault a woman. He obviously made a mistake but everyone goes trough something complicated in their lives. If he was that kind of a man he would never be able to be the men he was for his family. He was a family man and it was obvious. Rest in peace mamba💜💛. You ARE the smartest men i have ever seen. Just mind blown by your work ethic, drive, determination, passion and how much of a great father and husband you were and you still are from the heaven.
sam 7 no one is perfect and he also made a mistake. He is now gone and i am not going to explain to you what i am saying just because i respect him and his family.
I love you Kobe. I believe you and I’ve always believed in you. I’m So glad Vanessa stood by you through your mistakes. No one is perfect. We saw you grow into a wonderful husband, father and motivator AND mind-changer! Forever Mamba #24
The way he was saying his innocent like 10 times and the way he was talking looked weird to me. He looked like scared little boy afraid to go to jail. That apology looked fake to me.
R Navs in the English language when you are referring to a person which gender is unknown you refer to them in the masculine form. He says I am a man just like everyone in reference to mankind, that he is human.
I just keep watching this video over and over again. I love how Vanessa looks at him rubbing his hand. Him looking at her telling her how much she means to him. THEY WHERE MEANT TO BE. Rest In Peace Kobe and Gigi. You guys are forever in our hearts and will forever be missed. ❤️
I always admired Vanessa , they where kids for Christ’s sake , and yet she stood by his side and we all know it hurt her like hell , and after she seen he knew he fucked up and regretted it , she didn’t let go she forgave him and fought together against everything , she legit is his backbone and it shows 20 yrs later .
He cheated on her endlessly for 20 years. She filed for divorce 8 years after this, but he bought her off a final time. Women like this aren't wives. They're hookers.
He is a very bad liar. I had my doubts about his guilt, until I saw this press conference. He bought off the witness and she refused to testify. A 10 million dollar bribe goes a long way towards making somebody forget what happened.
jealous of what exactly... i would never wanna be in her place, she got cheated on while she was pregnant and this wasn’t the only time kobe cheated on her, he cheated over 100 times 💀 yea no thanks
I hope he didn't do it, I think he didn't do it because he's famous and the girl could of tried lying about that to get money out of him. I'm a die hard fan of Kobe and I'm really hoping this didn't happen..
C'mon he would have went to jail had he been guilty, bitch obviously wanted money. Wasn't enough proof, trauma can affect memory? How. Her choice to tell the truth or not, and she didn't.
My teacher talked about this in class literally a year before he died and it’s crazy cuz I live in eagle county and the girl who he “rapped” graduated from my school. I honestly don’t think he did it but it’s just mind blowing to me
* There's a myth that Kobe's defense team leaked the name of Kobe's accuser. This is not true. Kobe's lawyers were allowed, by the judge, to bring up Faber's name. The Court and the Eagle County Justice Center's staff accidentally leaked the name. www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/judge-dont-call-kobe-bryant-accuser-victim * Prosecutor dismissed a witness, without telling the defense, simply because he contradicted their evidence. The sexual assault expert claimed jaw injury and vagina trauma are very much possible in consensual sex. Why is this so important? Prosecutor's entire case was predicated on the neck injury and vaginal trauma. Weirdly enough, this is never mentioned among news sites attacking Bryant. www.foxnews.com/story/2004/09/03/authorities-defend-handling-kobe-case.html * The accuser had sex hours after her encounter with Kobe Bryant. However, before you guys try to use the "Sexual assault victims can be very unpredictable" card, (Which is somewhat valid) before this evidence was revealed, the accuser and the prosecutor's stances differed strongly from this. To exemplify, prosecutor tries to fight this evidence by saying she had sex BEFORE the encounter, but the forensic expert was very doubtful. If she had sex before the Kobe incident, there would be some DNA found on Kobe's clothing; Nothing was found www.nytimes.com/2004/08/04/us/papers-reveal-new-details-in-kobe-bryant-rape-case.html www.cbsnews.com/news/big-win-for-kobe-defense/ * Before the actual trial took place, including the civil court, the accuser bragged about the money she was going to get from Kobe. . You know what's worse? 3 days before Kobe was charged, she was seen by more than 5 people bragging about her encounter with Kobe. www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/kobe-accuser-bragged-partygoer-happy-article-1.512242 www.foxnews.com/story/2004/11/06/docs-kobe-accuser-discussed-award-money.html * Her ex-friend reveals the accuser had celebrity addiction for a long time. She tried to do the same thing to Eminem. She also wanted to testify: www.contactmusic.com/kobe-bryant/news/ex.pal-reveals-kobe.s-accuser-plotted-to-lure-eminem-into-bed * She was seen leaving the hotel without any noticeable discomfort: www.cbsnews.com/news/kobe-records-released/ * She had a history of mental illness that was dangerous to herself and her peer: groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.showbiz.gossip/n2cprdAFQJE (This evidence would not be accepted in today's court but was registered in 2004) * The prosecutor lacked evidence. Not only evidence, they were badly losing against Kobe's defense team: "This ruling will make it much, much tougher for prosecutors to convict Bryant of sexual assualt,'' says legal analyst Cohen. "The physical evidence against him never was that strong to begin with and now this evidence is likely to tilt the 'he said, she said' battle squarely in Bryant's favor." www.cbsnews.com/news/big-win-for-kobe-defense/ * The accuser lied and changed her story multiple times. I am okay with giving accusers the benefit of the doubt, but this was alarming. Because there was a witness who saw her without any visible discomfort (This is my assumption), she claimed she was forced to wash her face and settle down before leaving Kobe's room. What's even worse? she was given a chance to correct herself months after the initial statement; she continued the lie. She didn't admit to her mistake for a whole year. www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/kobe-accuser-mixups-admits-lies-claim-article-1.548757 * Remember all the articles about the "blood" on Kobe's shirt? There was very little blood splattered, and very little vaginal trauma, could even be signs of consensual sex. Also, who rapes someone knowing a bunch of blood splattered and wears the same shirt the next day? The blood that was on Bryant's shirt was basically such a tiny amount, it was invisible. la.utexas.edu/users/jmciver/357L/P4/RMN_Troubling%20evidence_082604.htm * A defense forensics expert testified at a closed pretrial hearing June 22 that the alleged victim's last menstrual cycle ended June 21, nine days before she met Bryant at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. The amount of blood at issue on Bryant's T-shirt is minute. * When Detective Doug Winters was cross-examined about it at Bryant's preliminary hearing Oct. 9, he admitted that he didn't initially see it, when Bryant voluntarily surrendered his shirt to investigators."It took a forensic evaluation at CBI to notice that blood, correct?" he was asked by defense lawyer Pamela Mackey. Winters admitted that was true. * Oh yeah, Kobe's Team was able to prove that the officers explicitly asked her why she didn't say no t Kobe. Relying on thick notebooks of police interviews and reports, Mackey proved that lead investigator Doug Winters had actually asked the victim why she hadn't said no to Bryant's sexual advances. Instead, Mackey entered into evidence the victim's statement that she thought Bryant "might try to make a move" on her when she willingly entered his room at the Cordillera resort. In her original statement, she said she consented at first and Kobe stopped when she told him to. la.utexas.edu/users/jmciver/357L/P4/DP_Bryant%20defense%20attacks_101603.htm * Finally, the settlement. People actually use this as Kobe's confession. Kobe was strongly advised by his own defense team AND other prosecution to settle this case. Why? He could risk losing everything, and it does not help that he's a black man. If he didn't settle, it would take years for this case to conclude; his wife also had a miscarriage during this time. When you settle a case, it's a compromise with you and the defendant; you don't think the accuser wanted Kobe to say those things? To substantiate this, the accuser asked for "unspecified amount of money, as well as public vindication.". She got both in the settlement. The accuser is the one who wanted this comment. As a user from this thread pointed out: Its what the lawyers, from both sides, agreed to make Kobe sign to end it; it has nothing to do with Kobe's actual feelings or the reality of the case. This is a settlement. articles.chicagotribune.com/2004-09-28/news/0409290017_1_accuser-lin-wood-kobe-bryant Look, by all accounts, this was a false accusation. I will never say I am 100% certain, but I am sure enough that he did not rape this woman. It's really funny how the media changed narratives to fit their agendas. I have never seen them bring up how much the prosecution was insanely unethical to Kobe AND many of his witnesses. The prosecutor, Lin Wood, is also a horrific person Just for more context: The blood that was on Bryant's shirt was basically such a tiny amount, it was invisible. la.utexas.edu/users/jmciver/357L/P4/RMN_Troubling%20evidence_082604.htm e. My opinion is that the sex was consensual ... Until Kobe got a bit rough (because that's what he's into) and he asked to cum on her face (not sure why he'd ask if he was raping her?) She felt uncomfortable and stopped it ... He stopped put his hands up and the encounter ended awkwardly within 5-10 min. That's not rape ... Thats a young girl regretting her decision to have sex and she felt degraded, disrespected and saw an opportunity to cash in. She hoped Kobe was just gonna write her a cheque and that would be the end of it. She didnt know how serious and impactful a rape allegation was. Legal experts all agreed there wasn't much evidence against Kobe; the court, by allowing the accuser's sexual intercourse after the Kobe encounter as evidence, really destroyed the accuser's case. Don't take my word for it, take any legal expert that studied that trial. Prosecution was very weak in physical evidence; which is insane for a woman who went into the hospital within 18 hours of the encounter 1) If she had sex prior to Kobe, the expert said the chance of dna found on Kobe's clothes and body is very very high. There was none found. 2) The location of WHERE the DNA is found was not consistent to the prosecution's claim that DNA from old clothes entered her. 3) With all this happening, she also said the man was using condoms. So if you possibly believe every single one of these ended up how it did for Kobe, you are too biased to have this conversation
I pray that Vanessa didn’t find out anything like this in his personal space like cell phones after he passed to find out he was still unfaithful.... I would be double triple sad....
I’m more then certain Vanessa has cheated on Kobe numerous times. Let’s me real, let’s be honest, Vanessa has her needs too, she has temptations as well. She’s in the same boat as Kobe so that’s why she just stuck it out with him
When the lawyer accepts that Kobe had a relationship with an adult woman, Kobe's wife changed her face, and this is because by accepting if they separated she took more of all the fortune that Kobe had at that time, I I think it was expensive to continue with that woman who met her while doing a video, a woman who always put up problems in the Lakers, Kobe was never again the same person she was before falling in love and getting married, at first she did not surely separate For the money and then it was too late to do it, rest in peace and thank you for all the good you left in sports and in life.
@@TheEbonyInsights She was a provocateur, Kobe was already installed and it was said that he was the new Jordan, she was Kobe's first girlfriend, but Vanessa had many partners, Kobe is blind with love, when he wanted to separate he had many problems in the middle, the daughters , money and Vanessa doing something to destroy Kobe image.
Firstly, adultery is not a "mistake". Having sex with someone who is not your spouse is not something that happens accidentally. It is a conscious decision that one makes. Why a spouse would "stand by" their husband or wife who cheated is asinine because it shows they have no respect for themselves that they would be willing to simply forgive such a breach of trust. The fact that he is an admitted adulterer already made him a person of low character. Secondly, even if we are to believe that the sex truly was consensual, he would not have been in that situation to begin with if he remained faithful. That being said, even if it started out consensually doesn't mean that it could not have led to rape in the process, which seems to be the case. Anyone who feels bad for either him or his wife really is just deluded into thinking that somehow celebrities are less accountable for their actions or they deserve extra forgiveness for their wrongdoings. Playing the victim is so pathetic and really just infuriating.
To me this sounds like extortion. Similar to the Trevor Bauer situation with the MLB along with other players. Also, one thing I wanted to know is why didn't the NBA put him on administrative leave or suspend him until the trial was over. And also one of his teammates Karl Malone to be exact did the exact same thing years ago (when the girl was 13 years old) but no one didn't say anything.
I didn't even know this cause I'm young and I'm shocked it's very hard for me to become a Kobe fan after knowing this but seeing how Kobe became a father to his children it all changed I've always believed that if you make a very bad mistake like rape, murder, and etc It cannot be forgiven but for Kobe's mistake it was buried. Nobody cares about that mistake it was not forgotten you could still remember it but you don't really care. Lesson here: You're past doesn't make you your present is what matters. And that's why I'm a Kobe fan BTW I'm 16 that's why I don't know this
anybody here after Kobe"s death
Trillionaire Zillionaire
Yes, me.
Kobes not. Lol
Yup
Yep.
Trillionaire Zillionaire I am
Say what you want, but she stood by this man! Even after everything, she stayed and loved him. Kept her family together and you never heard anything else after this about Kobe.
LMAO
Would you leave KOBE BRYANT if he cheated? The multi-millionaire athlete superstar? Cmon girl..
Kobe did cheat after this many more times tho.
I love Kobe , i cried when i heard about his passing. Im telling u this, cuz u probably will think that stating facts will make me look like a hater.
@@yeeaittfrancis9981 Juanita left Michael Jordan and he had more, so yes some women do. Ellen left Tiger I guess that's her name.
@@LifeIsNotorious well yea, vanessa's top value isn't loyalty. Husband's status is more important, i guess. Watch TMZ interview that she did. She told, if he wasn't a champ she would leave him.
Vanessa chose STATUS over loyalty.
Respect to those women who left the other cheaters. We all deserve loyalty and love ( if we give it back tho)
Juanita is an attorney. She came into the relationship with status. She didn't have to play second fittle. She knew she would be financially secure and could still keep her dignity and self respect.
yeeaitt francis 😂😂😂 it’s better than getting cheated on by a dude at home on his ass so youre right lol
He got himself a real wife. Thick and thin. Only thing he guilty of is cheating on his wife. That's between them. Rip
Xyle Zentry, I agree with you totally, Kobe cheated on his wife. Looking at all his interviews, his relationship with his children, with his family, you can tell that this event help shape him into a better man, husband, and father. Kobe wouldn't rape anyone. His Legacy is already speaking for him. God continue to comfort and bless his family.
She was Ride or Die.
A real wife puts up with cheating? GTFO
Xyle Zentry how u know that?
👏🏽👏🏽❤
It's not the most the mistake that determines someone's character. It's what they do after the mistake.. what they learn and how they lead their life since that time. Kobe wasn't perfect (no one is), but he grew and learned from the experience. He became a phenomenal husband and father. He learned to appreciate his blessings. I have the utmost respect for him and wish nothing but good things for Vanessa and the girls.
lighteyes214 facts
I agree but to ask a question about the case, as Gail King and the other reporter who tweeted, isnt deserving of the backlash either.
Doesn't it make one wonder how many other times he slept around and just didn't get caught?
@Stratus You need to check your facts. It is consensual. The girl is only after Kobe's money. Hotel staff saw the woman smiling after they had sex. Semen from different man is found on her panty. In an interview, the girls friend told she is bragging that he had slept with Kobe. She did not testify cause she knows her friend will stand against her and semen off different men found on her panty will back fire. So the case just become civil Suit.
There's seem always a lesson in our life
He picked a damn good Wife. She loved him dearly.
soldier person she loved that bling he talking bout lol
Are you serious? He has all that .....yet willing to lose it ALL for a piece of arse!! He's a liar, a cheater and God knows be what else! SAD!! It's all the LIES......if he'd come clean? It's 100% BETTER......than playing victim!
@@BlackPanther-vk5ew He came cleanly alright
Exactly Vanessa could of ran a while ago with all that money if she was a goldigger and really wanted to,seems a good woman.
If vanessa was after his money she could've divorced him and take money with her but she didint instead she forgive him and stayed with him.
He got married at 22 he made a mistake and learned from it. Move on. Charges were never filed money hungry people make false accusations all the time.
Infidelity is so common when people commit too young, even though there is not excuses to his behavior.
@ ultimately he paid? Really? Really now?
Plasser1000 what do you mean “ultimately”
Yes just ask Michael Jackson. He was falsely accused more than once. This girl filed a civil lawsuit against Kobe which is about MONEY. You can't file a civil suit without making very very serious and ugly accusations. I believe that is exactly what she did.
@@annlanders978 Yes poor Micheal i never believed that he hurt kids.
Vanessa is really a beautiful woman inside and out. He was lucky to have her by his side. But so sad and heart breaking that he died so young and widowed her

She is beautiful! Can't imagine what pain she is going thru.

When he said Vannesa is a Blessing dat hit Different cus it's true af
Yes ma'am yes indeed
What makes you say she was a blessing without knowing her??just wandering why you believe that??
i would say because she changed him for the better and stuck by his side at his lowest..How would that not be any man's blessing?

YOU BET WAS THERE OTHER'S PROBABLY HE SHOULD OF STAYED SINGLE TILL 35 APPROX THEN THINK ABOUT GETTING MARRIED WHY ARE WE TALKIN ABOUT THIS ANYWAY I ACTUALLY DIDNT NO ABOUT THIS I DONT FOLLOE B BALL RIP guy
You could tell she truly loved him as hurt as she must have been. There is an eagerness in her eyes to communicate to Kobe her love remains. I'm glad they endured together.

She is a STRONG woman. She's been through so much and is going through even worse now.
Because she knew that the payoff would be that she would get the benefits of hundreds of millions of dollars. That's not called strong. That's called extremely superficial and fake and shallow and empty, and money-hungry and gold digger and greedy.

@Zoozooshi Crazy he didn't have to. She was still rich being his wife either way, so she'd be a dumbass to leave him.

Think I fell in love with Kobe at this pointttttt and gained mad respect for Vanessa. She could hve walked away with half of everything no questions asked....but she stood by her man through it all. RIP KOBE. We all deserve to experience real love at least once in this lifetime....I'm glad you did💞
You about to make me cry
Half of everything at that point in his career was like 30 million. She stayed and now she has $600 million. You do the math.
Yess indeed that's real love at its finest she definitely could have taken half and ran only love does that and stayed
Vanessa keep fixing her hair. Why?!
When you love your family you want to be close in the good or bad times , it's painful the betrayal, but family is first!
Yo the fact that Vanessa is consoling her husband while still visibly upset and hurting by him is so admirable. That shows character and strength in ways packing her crap and ghosting him wouldn’t have. People say strong women leave , clearly some strong women are the ones who stay. Y’all put some respect on this woman’s name ! She held it down !
Yea she Held it Down that's a real women not too many Left
Kay A and so you’re implying that she would have had the baby had she left and proceeded with a divorce while pregnant ? Do you hear yourself ? I’m not saying what she should have done I saying that she made a decision that was a STRONG one and deserves respect.
For the people that can’t fathom a woman OR man (had to throw that in there since cheating is stereotyped as a man thing) standing by their SPOUSE during infidelity , I think the issue is assuming every motive behind infidelity is the SAME. And since every couple facing such circumstances aren’t the same either, there is no wrong or right way of handling this situation. Some of y’all do need to leave . But some of y’all need to fight because what’s on the other side is worth much more. Do what’s best for YOUR marriage. It’s simply my personal opinion that Vanessa and Kobe seemed equipped to work through their problems. They CHOSE to. So why should that offend or bother us?
There was this story of a couple who separated and the wife moved on with a new man. Well the kids one day told her that their dad still loved her. She got a call one day as he was in the World Trade Center about to die. He confessed that he still loved her and always will and she did too! Imagine it took that for them to admit how they truly felt. I wonder if they foresaw 9/11 would they have ever separated and instead worked through their issues? I wonder how many friends encouraged her to leave. Life is too short . I am happy that Vanessa at least doesn’t have to live with THIS regret. She was with the love of her life till the day he died. And NOBODY is about to demonize that . Again , put some respect on that woman’s name.
Y'all are smoking dick to think this is being strong.
Kay A where did I compare “women” in a ride or die culture ? I compared two specific women who both experienced loss. Marriage is a formal ride or die concept. Marriage is accountability. Or do you people think the vows made at an altar are for show? You’re contradicting your own statements . I’m not here to paint broad strokes for all women based on Vanessa’s one decision and I think I made it pretty clear that there is no right or wrong choice but every couple must choose what is right for them. Kobe is dead , Vanessa is a widow and if she has no regrets for the almost 20 years of her marriage , then GET OVER IT ! Seriously!
Vanessa got that damn death stare
No. Vanessa got a $4 million diamond ring out of it.
And now she has his estate.
@@Stuff7164 and she lost her daughter. Do you really think she gives a flying f that she has the "whole estate", when she already had it?! They've been together since she was 17 years old, and they most likely weren't separating any time soon. The woman lost half of her family in the blink of an eye. She has to bury her husband & her 13 year old daughter, but you're acting like she just won the lottery....

Everyone make mistakes and sometimes it’s unforgivable but no one is perfect. He has become a great father. I’ve watch their videos and after 20yrs of marriage he still never stop cuddling her and kiss her. Most men don’t do that after a few years into a relationship. She is a strong and very determined woman to want to stay with him, being a great stay at home mom. Most women that pretty will go to one men to another but she stay put. Very proud of beautiful Venessa.

you are so right, he loved her, and never stopped showing affection, kissing, holding hand, and didn;t care if he was at his game, or any where else, just look at diddy video n-day party in december,

I dont know. He had released this statement through his lawyer apologizing to the victim and saying that even though he thought it was consensual he realizes that she did not. www.espn.com/nba/news/story?id=1872928
The police asked him why she had bruises on her neck and he said that he liked to strangle women during sex it was his thing. He held her from the back around her neck.. he said he assumed consent because of her body language. The doctor examination saw vaginal trauma. If this was in the wake of the me too movement he would have been crucified.

Adrian Green thank you well if I was married and my husband cheated on me I wouldn’t divorce him they have been together 20 years I don’t think one mistake warrants a divorce that’s just my opinion we aren’t perfect and sometimes going through things makes people realize none of that is worth loosing their families he was younger I’m sure he wouldn’t make those same mistakes as a older more mature man
Then he went on to lead a great life. He had a great and loving family. He has a beautiful family. Rip Kobe🙏

The man lived and learned by his mistake as evident in the way he has lived his life since. God bless this family❤️
@SunLi Tsong I researched this whole case and the victim lied about multiple parts of her story. She first claimed that he held her hostage after the alleged incident, then recanted. She also had sex with somebody else immediately and wore the dirty underwear to her rape exam. How can somebody be brutally attacked liked she claimed and have sex with somebody else right after?

If you guys were Hispanic you would know that culturally family stay together for the kids and the norm of a family that's how Vanessa was raised by.
It takes real balls to stay after being betrayed by your partner. I honestly do not know how she did it. And I honestly don't think is the money. When you get hurt like that there's no amount of money that takes away that pain, shame, and judgement from the public. I honestly have respect for her. And he also maned up to his stupidity. So I guess that says a lot about him. When a man or woman accept their mistakes, apologize for them and moves forward it says something about him or her.
I also stayed by a man who treated me like this. No, I wasn't strong, I felt I needed him to feel worthy and good about myself. Once I lost everything and lost him, that's when I got strong.
No disrespect to Kobe in anyway, but she is not strong here. She's probabaly a lot stronger now when she's had no other choice.
Sorry you had to go through that

Vanessa couldve taken him to the cleaners but didn't.
Not surprising on the day he died this was brought up. Why is it when a celebrity passes away and they were involved intentionally or not, the worst of them is the first thing that comes out of their mouths? Kobe and his wife got through that rough time in their marriage and decided to stay together. Many couples have gone through infidelity and their marriage survived. RIP mamba ❤
Yes Agree!!!
Because the media only loves tragedy, perversion and scandal.
ann landers you’re exactly right
Kobe was a broken record saying "I'm innocent".
We all make mistakes, yes this was one. Yes he got caught up with the lifestyle of groupies, etc. But marriage is a vow for better or worse. He without sin cast the first stone. RIP KOBE/GIGI
Pete Keys rape is a ‘mistake’ cool stuff pyscho pete
Our normal mistakes is not "rape" you know. Not everyone rape someone
Preach!
@@bw8450
Kobe is innocent. It is consensual. The girl is only after Kobe's money. Hotel staff saw the woman smiling after they had sex. Semen from 4 different men are found on her panty. In an interview, the girl's friends told she is bragging that he had slept with Kobe. She refused testify cause she knows her friend will stand against her and semen off different men found on her panty will back fire. So the case just become civil Suit.
Pete Keys exactly!!!
"Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter." Kobe Bryant
He was forced to admit it was rape. When someone doesn't consent it is rape and he had to admit he did it against her consent which is rape.. And paid her millions not to testify because he was going to prison.. Just ask Mike Tyson.. Kobe was a rapist and most people don't know it was anal..I read the whole deposition. Forced anal and bleeding. He did everything he could to bury it and the media barely touched on the sodomy.
So what are you implying?
2020 Lets hope he was right with god in his passing

@@peachestaylor3417 Pardon? Say what again? I don't get your reply, sorry?
Many man would disappear after such an incident. I think Kobe got matured more than his age with this. And he somehow found a way to direct it to his game and actually work ethic. Because this can explain the insane work ethic he had. Feeling enormously sad and devastated, he put aside the pleasures of this world and gave %100 of himself to the game of basketball.
God bless Venessa Kobe was bless to have her all the way through thick or thin. Hope she find the strength to move on in Jesus name
Carol Trimble Amen in Jesus name. Praying GOD give her and His family strength Amen
He got caught up in the lifestyle. I wouldn’t get married if I’m an athlete until i retire, groupies eeeeeeeverywhere.
I'll never understand why superstars get married. It's like going to a rave with a chaperone.
You would be marrying someone for the wrong reasons then. No wife-material would marry some skank ass has-been athlete who spent their whole career banging groupies.
Yuhhh. Just look at John Mayer
G-Dub 85 aids everywhere
There’s not a lot of athletes that are faithful to their wives. It comes with the territory of being an athlete because they have women everywhere throwing themselves at them. They should wait to marry their gf when they got it out of their system.
All bad....I still think that girl lied even though he cheated. We all make mistakes. I’m glad they fixed stuff. Sucks to be humiliated...her and Kobe. RIP Kobe.....
Me too. It’s wrong that the assault keeps getting brought up. The case was dropped.
Mike Barker kobe did admit to having sex with her, but he claims he didn’t do anything against her will. I personally think the girl was lying to try and get money off of him. This was a mistake by Kobe, but he learned from it as always. He became something greater
Chris Hemsworth dude, he admitted to holding her down by the neck and jizzing in her face then told her to go clean herself up and don’t tell anyone. He admitted that he was choking her the whole time - but assumed it was consensual because that’s how he did it with another girl. It’s in the police report. The young woman came from a well off family and didn’t need his money. She was barely out of high school.
He cheated again and they divorced then got back

I feel bad for his wife. I read a story in a newspaper about her having a bad character. But damn, to stand there and listen to accusations towards your husband claiming that he raped another woman in the ass is cold. Cold blooded as Rick James would say.
Vanessa Bryant, I’ve admired her since I’ve known about a man named Kobe Bryant she is the true definition of a supportive wife & friend. No matter what she stood by Kobe through it all it’s a shame to lose a husband/ other half and her daughter all at once. Continuing to pray for her at all times.
Yes so supportive letting her husband cheat and embarrass her … but it’s ok! Because he has money lmao gold digging bitch
Vanessa is a real one staying with Kobe!
I think it does qualify her to be a real one for staying with him during those allegations. Most people would get out of the situation as soon as it came up. But no she stayed through the whole process. I mean she definitely didn't need to be on the podium but she did!! She stayed and listen to all the crazy stuff that was said during the whole case. So yeah i think she's definitely a real one for staying with him after cause obviously the love was stronger.
It's crazy though because i only came up on this video right after kobe died. Maybe a couple of hours passed and people were bringing up the case, it honestly made me sick that they would. Let's just let this man rip!! I understand it was a very serious case and everything but we need to understand that this happened in 2003 long time ago. I'm not doing this because kobe fan lol. I grew up in Cleveland so you already know who my guy is but i just felt i needed to say something. 24/8
THIS HAPPEN ONLY ..WHEN A WOMAN LOVES HER MAN...
How about vice versa? Can this happen when a man loves his woman?
michelle wanjiru That wasn’t my question. The original commenter said, this only happened when “a woman loves her man”. As in the woman forgiving him for cheating. My question was if the roles were reversed would it be the same...
michelle wanjiru I am making a general question. I am not discussing on Kobe and Vanessas love, since I don’t know them.
@@raquelv6856 well i think that wouldn't be the case because of toxic masculinity... If a woman cheats damn the judgement that comes with it is far much greater than when a man cheats
I actually think it's the other way around, he did this because he loves her, not because she loves him necessarily. I think the bigger cut is on Kobe's side kos If he didn't care about her they wouldn't have lasted this long. A real man owns up to His mistakes and changes His behavior 🙌 a good woman stands by her man's side 😬
No human is truly perfect. The question is, what do we do after we’ve committed a serious mistake.
Right, like pleading guilty. That would’ve been the right thing to do

Having a woman like this by your side, man it makes you feel you can go through anything and still be ok. It's as if she is one of your limbs and you could not ever be full without her. He was lucky.
He is lucky to have a wife with no self respect that stays with him even though he cheats on her for his money I’m happy he lived his life with his golddigging wife and she’s just such a strong woman for sticking up for a rapist 🙌🏼🙌🏼✨✨
This woman took 1/3 of his salary that year. We all know why they were together. Why do people pretend like these relationships are normal? She's basically a one-man hooker.

He cheated on her endlessly for 20 years. She filed for divorce 8 years after this, but he bought her off a final time. Women like this aren't wives. They're hookers.

* There's a myth that Kobe's defense team leaked the name of Kobe's accuser.
This is not true. Kobe's lawyers were allowed, by the judge, to bring up Faber's name. The Court and the Eagle County Justice Center's staff accidentally leaked the name.
www.thesmokinggun.com/documents/crime/judge-dont-call-kobe-bryant-accuser-victim
* Prosecutor dismissed a witness, without telling the defense, simply because he contradicted their evidence.
The sexual assault expert claimed jaw injury and vagina trauma are very much possible in consensual sex. Why is this so important? Prosecutor's entire case was predicated on the neck injury and vaginal trauma. Weirdly enough, this is never mentioned among news sites attacking Bryant.
www.foxnews.com/story/2004/09/03/authorities-defend-handling-kobe-case.html
* The accuser had sex hours after her encounter with Kobe Bryant.
However, before you guys try to use the "Sexual assault victims can be very unpredictable" card, (Which is somewhat valid) before this evidence was revealed, the accuser and the prosecutor's stances differed strongly from this. To exemplify, prosecutor tries to fight this evidence by saying she had sex BEFORE the encounter, but the forensic expert was very doubtful. If she had sex before the Kobe incident, there would be some DNA found on Kobe's clothing; Nothing was found
www.nytimes.com/2004/08/04/us/papers-reveal-new-details-in-kobe-bryant-rape-case.html
www.cbsnews.com/news/big-win-for-kobe-defense/
* Before the actual trial took place, including the civil court, the accuser bragged about the money she was going to get from Kobe. .
You know what's worse? 3 days before Kobe was charged, she was seen by more than 5 people bragging about her encounter with Kobe.
www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/kobe-accuser-bragged-partygoer-happy-article-1.512242 www.foxnews.com/story/2004/11/06/docs-kobe-accuser-discussed-award-money.html
* Her ex-friend reveals the accuser had celebrity addiction for a long time. She tried to do the same thing to Eminem. She also wanted to testify:
www.contactmusic.com/kobe-bryant/news/ex.pal-reveals-kobe.s-accuser-plotted-to-lure-eminem-into-bed
* She was seen leaving the hotel without any noticeable discomfort:
www.cbsnews.com/news/kobe-records-released/
* She had a history of mental illness that was dangerous to herself and her peer:
groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.showbiz.gossip/n2cprdAFQJE
(This evidence would not be accepted in today's court but was registered in 2004)
* The prosecutor lacked evidence. Not only evidence, they were badly losing against Kobe's defense team:
"This ruling will make it much, much tougher for prosecutors to convict Bryant of sexual assualt,'' says legal analyst Cohen. "The physical evidence against him never was that strong to begin with and now this evidence is likely to tilt the 'he said, she said' battle squarely in Bryant's favor."
www.cbsnews.com/news/big-win-for-kobe-defense/
* The accuser lied and changed her story multiple times.
I am okay with giving accusers the benefit of the doubt, but this was alarming. Because there was a witness who saw her without any visible discomfort (This is my assumption), she claimed she was forced to wash her face and settle down before leaving Kobe's room. What's even worse? she was given a chance to correct herself months after the initial statement; she continued the lie. She didn't admit to her mistake for a whole year.
www.nydailynews.com/archives/news/kobe-accuser-mixups-admits-lies-claim-article-1.548757
* Remember all the articles about the "blood" on Kobe's shirt? There was very little blood splattered, and very little vaginal trauma, could even be signs of consensual sex. Also, who rapes someone knowing a bunch of blood splattered and wears the same shirt the next day? The blood that was on Bryant's shirt was basically such a tiny amount, it was invisible. la.utexas.edu/users/jmciver/357L/P4/RMN_Troubling%20evidence_082604.htm
* A defense forensics expert testified at a closed pretrial hearing June 22 that the alleged victim's last menstrual cycle ended June 21, nine days before she met Bryant at the Lodge & Spa at Cordillera. The amount of blood at issue on Bryant's T-shirt is minute.
* When Detective Doug Winters was cross-examined about it at Bryant's preliminary hearing Oct. 9, he admitted that he didn't initially see it, when Bryant voluntarily surrendered his shirt to investigators."It took a forensic evaluation at CBI to notice that blood, correct?" he was asked by defense lawyer Pamela Mackey. Winters admitted that was true.
* Oh yeah, Kobe's Team was able to prove that the officers explicitly asked her why she didn't say no t Kobe.
Relying on thick notebooks of police interviews and reports, Mackey proved that lead investigator Doug Winters had actually asked the victim why she hadn't said no to Bryant's sexual advances. Instead, Mackey entered into evidence the victim's statement that she thought Bryant "might try to make a move" on her when she willingly entered his room at the Cordillera resort. In her original statement, she said she consented at first and Kobe stopped when she told him to.
la.utexas.edu/users/jmciver/357L/P4/DP_Bryant%20defense%20attacks_101603.htm
* Finally, the settlement. People actually use this as Kobe's confession.
Kobe was strongly advised by his own defense team AND other prosecution to settle this case. Why? He could risk losing everything, and it does not help that he's a black man. If he didn't settle, it would take years for this case to conclude; his wife also had a miscarriage during this time. When you settle a case, it's a compromise with you and the defendant; you don't think the accuser wanted Kobe to say those things?
To substantiate this, the accuser asked for "unspecified amount of money, as well as public vindication.". She got both in the settlement. The accuser is the one who wanted this comment.
As a user from this thread pointed out:
Its what the lawyers, from both sides, agreed to make Kobe sign to end it; it has nothing to do with Kobe's actual feelings or the reality of the case.
This is a settlement.

Look, by all accounts, this was a false accusation. I will never say I am 100% certain, but I am sure enough that he did not rape this woman.
It's really funny how the media changed narratives to fit their agendas. I have never seen them bring up how much the prosecution was insanely unethical to Kobe AND many of his witnesses. The prosecutor, Lin Wood, is also a horrific person
Just for more context:
The blood that was on Bryant's shirt was basically such a tiny amount, it was invisible.

e.
My opinion is that the sex was consensual ... Until Kobe got a bit rough (because that's what he's into) and he asked to cum on her face (not sure why he'd ask if he was raping her?) She felt uncomfortable and stopped it ... He stopped put his hands up and the encounter ended awkwardly within 5-10 min.
That's not rape ... Thats a young girl regretting her decision to have sex and she felt degraded, disrespected and saw an opportunity to cash in. She hoped Kobe was just gonna write her a cheque and that would be the end of it. She didnt know how serious and impactful a rape allegation was. Legal experts all agreed there wasn't much evidence against Kobe; the court, by allowing the accuser's sexual intercourse after the Kobe encounter as evidence, really destroyed the accuser's case.
Don't take my word for it, take any legal expert that studied that trial. Prosecution was very weak in physical evidence; which is insane for a woman who went into the hospital within 18 hours of the encounter 1) If she had sex prior to Kobe, the expert said the chance of dna found on Kobe's clothes and body is very very high. There was none found.
2) The location of WHERE the DNA is found was not consistent to the prosecution's claim that DNA from old clothes entered her. 3) With all this happening, she also said the man was using condoms.
So if you possibly believe every single one of these ended up how it did for Kobe, you are too biased to have this conversation
I think he did it by mistake
I pray that Vanessa didn’t find out anything like this in his personal space like cell phones after he passed to find out he was still unfaithful.... I would be double triple sad....
Cellphone probably no because most likely got destroyed at the crash .
I’m more then certain Vanessa has cheated on Kobe numerous times. Let’s me real, let’s be honest, Vanessa has her needs too, she has temptations as well. She’s in the same boat as Kobe so that’s why she just stuck it out with him
I believed him then & and I still believe him today!

He did it

When the lawyer accepts that Kobe had a relationship with an adult woman, Kobe's wife changed her face, and this is because by accepting if they separated she took more of all the fortune that Kobe had at that time, I I think it was expensive to continue with that woman who met her while doing a video, a woman who always put up problems in the Lakers, Kobe was never again the same person she was before falling in love and getting married, at first she did not surely separate For the money and then it was too late to do it, rest in peace and thank you for all the good you left in sports and in life.

Firstly, adultery is not a "mistake". Having sex with someone who is not your spouse is not something that happens accidentally. It is a conscious decision that one makes. Why a spouse would "stand by" their husband or wife who cheated is asinine because it shows they have no respect for themselves that they would be willing to simply forgive such a breach of trust. The fact that he is an admitted adulterer already made him a person of low character.
Secondly, even if we are to believe that the sex truly was consensual, he would not have been in that situation to begin with if he remained faithful. That being said, even if it started out consensually doesn't mean that it could not have led to rape in the process, which seems to be the case.
Anyone who feels bad for either him or his wife really is just deluded into thinking that somehow celebrities are less accountable for their actions or they deserve extra forgiveness for their wrongdoings. Playing the victim is so pathetic and really just infuriating.
To me this sounds like extortion. Similar to the Trevor Bauer situation with the MLB along with other players. Also, one thing I wanted to know is why didn't the NBA put him on administrative leave or suspend him until the trial was over. And also one of his teammates Karl Malone to be exact did the exact same thing years ago (when the girl was 13 years old) but no one didn't say anything.
