Innocent


            This video was taken after Kobe had a sexual encounter with a nineteen-year-old Colorado hotel employee. The incidence was reported to be a sexual assault. Sexual assault would have put Kobe in jail for a while, possibly even life. Clearly with a criminal record his basketball career would have ended. Kobe claims he is innocent and he will be tried in front of a Colorado jury.
            Kobe says he is furious and disgusted at himself, yet he continued to cheat on Vanessa after purchasing a four million dollar apology ring. It is preposterous that Kobe had so little to say concerning the matter! He was very repetitive and continually apologized and claimed his innocence. Vanessa is calmly sitting beside him, stroking his hand and supporting him. Also, notice that there is no microphone placed in front of Vanessa. She does not even have the chance to give her outlook. I mean come on Vanessa stand up for your self, leave him! It makes me wonder, if it were not for the money would she have left him? The fact that she stayed with him just long enough to receive his wealth leads me to believe that she would have left him if it had already been ten years.
            At least Kobe had the decency to admit to adultery in front of his wife and America. I respect that even if it was his only choice. Kobe states that there is a lot at stake, but that it has nothing to do with the money and basketball. Is that how Vanessa feels? It is clear why Vanessa stuck with Kobe, forgave him, then left him in 2011. When Vanessa officially left Kobe in December it had been ten years and she was set for life. What is funny is they both wanted what they could not have. Now Vanessa has Kobe’s money and now Kobe can have multiple women because he is not married. Even though the two are apart and the divorce will be finalized soon, I do not think this is the end of Vanessa and Kobe Bryant. If they were to get back together it would be out of true love, because both already received what they could not have.

  1. You could mention that he chose a woman to represent him in his case. Also, the fact that Vanessa is not given a microphone in front of her and never allowed to speak her voice, also Kobe and her have their hands held the whole time. (Gracie Brown)
