well we all gotta make money in this world, good for that woman for having a good business plan.

When I worked at Disneyland, Anaheim, I would see her alot there. She was a twat to everyone there and thought the cast members were her servants. We'd dread it every time she would be there. But once the supervisors caught wind of that, they had some serious words for her. She never acted like a bitch again to anyone of us again.

About damn time she left that rapist.

Let me just day that I have never liked Kobe Bryant, I think he comes off as a snag asshole. The husband knew him before he joined the NBA (they grew up together) and said he's always been a jerk. But that being said, give me a break about feeling bad for Vanessa. They only got married in the first place because her father threatened Kobe into marrying her- by threatening to report him for statutory rape when he found out they were having sex. At the time he had a serious girlfriend who was shocked to find out he got married. Her family didn't do that for any other reason but to secure her future financial security which is also why he didn't get a prenup.

The rumors about his cheating are true, my husband's best female friend is the cousin of his main jump off, the girl he is allegedly in love with. He bought her a luxury apartment, several cars and paid for her to attend medical school. Vanessa knows all about her, I believe they have a child together but I will have to ask hubby if that's accurate. Either way Kobe has been with the other girl for years and Vanessa has known. Kobe and Vanessa have not slept in the same room for years and Vanessa also cheats... Not with other NBA stars but with random inner-city thugs. She is not a victim here and neither is he.

People felt bad for her when the Colorado allegations came out, they thought she loved Kobe and wouldn't leave him but she was just biding her time and accepted a multi-million dollar ring as "compensation" for embarrassing her.

She is not sympathetic and he is a jerk. I am only glad that this is one situation that I have had the dirt on for a long long time. I and a bunch of people from this area have known for years that this was coming. This is going to be a crazy divorce, there is so muh dirt in this marriage that it isn't even funny.

I don't feel bad for either of them and find the both of them to be contemptible. The only people I feel sorry for in this are their daughters. I respect Vanessa's gangsta on the divorce, but from all accounts, she's a nasty, evil woman. I've heard stories about her fucking around with dopeboys all over LA for years. Kobe is a smug jackass and I didn't like how he tried to throw Shaq under the bus when he wa being interrogated for those rape charges in Colorado.

Isn't one of Kobe's jumpoffs a newsanchor in Philly?

Thank-you! If nothing proves that Vanessa is an epic gold digger with no internal sense of pride or decency, it's that she stayed with The Rapist until the 10 year mark.

So if Kobe is sooo smart, why didn't he file for divorce before the 10 year mark? It would have saved him a heap of money, even without a pre-nup.

Vanessa must have some ugly secrets she could share.

From what I've heard (both media and friend's personal encounters) she's a pretty nasty person.

I have heard the exact same thing.

she sure looks like a bitch

**LynnieD** · December 17th, 2011, 06:08 PM

I hate him and I sure as hell don't feel sorry for her either.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant said they have "resolved all the issues" related to their divorce in private and that final court papers will be filed next year.

looks like we won't get to hear much. the battle is over, and appears to have taken place offstage. they just have to finalize the paperwork.

**hustle4alivin** · December 17th, 2011, 07:03 PM

I will give them props for trying to keep this as amicable as possible and not leaking stuff to the press. One of the few classy things about them I guess. It won't be good fodder for gossip, oh well.

"Only" $150 Million net worth? I get the feeling that Kobe has been hiding his assets long before the divorce was filed. Even after the rape charges, he still has a lot of endorsements.

Kobe Bryant -- Not As Rich as You Think | TMZ.com

TMZ has learned ... contrary to news reports about Kobe Bryant's wealth -- the BBaller's net worth is approximately $150 million, according to sources in a direct position to know.

Sources intimately familiar with the situation tell us ... the $150 mil accounts for real estate holdings, stock, cash and other assets.

The figure is far less than news reports which set Kobe's fortune north of $400 million. But the $150 mil figure is the accurate one.

TMZ broke the divorce story and the fact that Kobe and Vanessa DO NOT HAVE A PRENUP. Given that the marriage has lasted more than a decade and the pre-marriage assets are commingled with what was accumulated during the marriage, the assets are distributed based on the community property laws of California -- which means a 50/50 split.

Kobe and Vanessa have already struck a financial settlement, but she was in a good position to get half of the pie.

Kobe Bryant Divorce -- Vanessa Gets The Mansion, Kobe Gets the Boot | TMZ.com

Kobe Bryant has already moved out of his MASSIVE Newport Coast mansion ... permanently -- because TMZ has learned Vanessa gets the estate in the couple's divorce.

Kobe purchased the sprawling Orange County property back in 2001.

As part of the divorce settlement, Kobe agreed to give up the property. TMZ broke the story, the couple had NO prenup ... which means Vanessa is entitled to half of EVERY DOLLAR Kobe made since they were married ten years ago.

It's unclear where Kobe is living at the moment.

Regarding Vanessa not leaving Kobe until now, I'm snooping around on other sites and I saw this quote from someone who supposedly knows about the situation claiming:

I was told she wanted to leave after the Colorado incident but her mama convinced her to stay believe it or not.

He was paying all of her family's bills, so I could totally see this. BUT this is all hearsay though. Grain of salt and all of that...

**dallison** · December 17th, 2011, 07:13 PM

Of course grain of salt, but it goes with what was said above about her family pushing for the marriage.

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa -- Attend School Function Together the Day Divorce News Breaks [PHOTO] | TMZ.com

Kobe Bryant and his soon-to-be ex-wife Vanessa attended a Christmas recital for their kids just hours before TMZ broke the news the couple was getting a divorce.

Kobe and Vanessa (above, smiling) were spotted together Friday morning at their daughter's school for a musical both of their children appeared in.

Our spy says Kobe and Vanessa next to each other during the show and left together in the same car, but their moods were totally opposite -- Vanessa was chatting with friends and having a good time, while Kobe spoke to no one and appeared "somber."

As TMZ first reported, Vanessa filed for divorce on Friday, citing "irreconcilable differences."

I see Vanessa is grinning ear to ear. It's as if a huge weight has been lifted off of her shoulders. OTOH, Vanessa's mama looks maaaaad as hell that her gravy train is coming to an end - I'm sure Vanessa will still take care of her, but it won't be like it used to be with settlement money.
