The Bryants Speak Their Piece

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are appalled at the vicious allegations their ex-housekeeper has made about their treatment of her, and they had a little something to say, via their legal counsel, about it:

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant are striking back at the maid who accused Vanessa of various abuse on the job — including an alleged incident where the maid was forced to stick her hand into a bag of dog crap.

The Bryants lawyers, Loeb & Loeb LLP, just released the following statement on behalf of the couple:

We have learned that a former employee of the Bryants, Maria Jimenez, has filed a complaint against our clients. Ms. Jimenez’s outrageous allegations of improper conduct are totally unfounded and patently false. The Bryants intend to vigorously defend against these untruthful allegations and are confident that the baseless nature of the allegations will be proven.

Housekeepers are normally privy to some interesting information, so this could get pretty ugly. Pull up a chair.

    Re

    we all want to know who beat me to the post. i still think its Carl Winslow

  • SauzaGold

    not buying it, Kobe’s chick is a crazy one

  • always knew

    The point that I was making, was that when ATHLETES like Charles Barkley and Kobe Bryant, marry outside of their race, they still cheat on whoever it is that they are with. They still go out and cheat, with other women, whether they are whatever nationality or race. And they have both made irresponsible statements in regards to blk women, even though they both ame from a blk woman.

    You can make it whatever you want, but race – as an issue, will always be around and used as a divisive weapon, amongst ourselves (all races except for white, are usually the ones that bear most of the brunt, or whatever…

    I’m gone. No more time to waste on this. I got mad and responded to you in anger and I shouldn’t have let you affect my emotions, in that way…

    Peace!

    Yeah Kobe did his whole African American family wrong, But he takes care of Vanessa Mother. Bought her a house, They came up off this fool.

  • @ always knew

    You are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too important to have so much time to spend on these gossip blogs. I wonder why that is. Anywho, enjoy.

  • Nique

    @Jovah
    Given that she is one generation removed from Este trash herself until Kobe saved her from the slums, she should know better.

    Let’s get ready to rumble……….

    I can’t make any jokes because they are BOTH way too overly sensitive…um sorry passionate.

  • JC o’ B’klyn

    Vanessa looks like the real culprit. Kobe, I don’t think, is an accomplice in that case; he’s not home that much.

  • *Treasure*

    I don’t believe Kobe and Vanessa. Vanessa has a history of behaving inappropriately. Vanessa is probably mad with her husband and the staff are taking the brunt of the abuse. Just because she is in a position of authority does not mean she should be abusive to her employees. Treating someone less than human just because you employ them is just wrong.

    The maid should of put vanessas face in that bag of dog feces after she tried to force her to stick her hand in that mess to retrieve a tag. Gross!!

    @Chawklitgirl
    you’re so right, Chawk’girl. Without a high school dploma/GED, homegirl, Vanessa, would probably end on sunset strip.

  • http://yahoo PhatDjSwagger {the truth and you know this man!!!}

    i believe the maid

  • http://yahoo PhatDjSwagger {the truth and you know this man!!!}

    kobe is a fagg

  • http://yahoo PhatDjSwagger {the truth and you know this man!!!}

    whats up always knew

  • http://Bossip Soul Ese

    She is just a self hating malinche. Kobe can keep her.

  • Yvonne

    I believe the maid. From the pictures I have seen of Vanessa she looks like she thinks she is the shit.

    Just because you have money and live a high profile life you don’t treat who are in your home helping you like that.

    I hope the maid gets enough stacks that she don’t have to clean another person’s house in her life, unless it’s her own.

  • Shani

    I heard Vanessa was abusive to a retail clerk while out shopping. I seriously doubt that Vanessa controls Kobe. Kobe is mean as hell and I suspect that Vanessa is just pissed off about Kobe so she takes it out on the help. Kobe probably cussed her out because this lawsuit cast a negative light on him. If he apologized to the maid for Vanessa’s behavior in the past so she wouldn’t quit then I suppose that he is fed up with her being unable to keep employees.

  • Carla

    Vanessa could be part White, she’s just a stank biach, lol. And that’s true would be working at a fast food restaurant and humping the night manager in the back office at closing time, lol. And by the way I have no molice against ho’s some of them are nice, Vanessa’s pure evil, lol….

  • TheGoodGood

    people already hate them.. why bother wasting the money fighting this.. we’ll believe it anyway.. they should jsut have cut her a check.. I’m sure she threatened them..

    Kobe has GOT to learn to cut a check to pay off people so they go away.. that’s all they want.. the public doesn’t need this.. we’re still reeling from Chriannagate okay!!! this is just too much!

  • nick

    I like kobe ,he is a great basketball player.I support him.I found his newest blog on the hottest web site…wealthyfish.com…He wrote about the detail of the event.

  • YOU TALK ABOUT IT…I MAKE IT HAPPEN!

    ISNT THIS THE SAME DUDE THAT DENIED CHOPPIN DOWN THAT WHITE GIRL A FEW YEARS BACK???….ARE WE REALLY GONNA BELIEVE ANYTHING HE HAS TO SAY??…

    AND HIS WIFE HAS BEEN PUT ON BLAST BEFORE BOUT HOW SHE THINKS SHE’S SO PRIVILEDGED & ABOVE EVERYBODY THAT SHE FEELS SHE CAN MOUTH OFF TO ANYBODY…..I HOPE THAT MAID GETS PAID! CUT THE LADY A CHECK & MOVE ON!

  • Slice of Life
