Vanessa Bryant's Divorcing Kobe Over Recent Case Of Infidelity

UPDATE-Kobe Bryant’s divorce from his wife of ten and a half years, Vanessa Lynne Bryant, has dominated headlines for much of the weekend.

In the latest update   of the divorce saga, Vanessa apparently filed for divorce after catching the NBA star cheating…..again! According to reports Kobe has cheated with multiple women over the years but his recent infidelity apparently took the cake! It’s not clear how this case differed from the others but we can begin the countdown for women who will pop out of the woods and tell us why.

In an attempt to keep Vanessa quiet or make this go away quickly,   the Los Angeles Lakers star is already coughing up the dough like he did in 2003.

Many remember when Kobe gifted Vanessa with a $4 million diamond apology ring after being charged with sexual assault.   If this is any indication of what’s to come then Vanessa will have very little to worry about…..financially that is. 🙂 Thus far Vanessa has snagged the former couples massive Newport Coast mansion and Kobe agreed the pay spousal support. The amount remains unknown…for now.

How do you think this divorce will impact Kobe Bryant’s basketball career? Where will Vanessa go from here?

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
