UNCASVILLE, CONNECTICUT - MAY 15: Vanessa Bryant speaks on behalf of Class of 2020 inductee, Kobe Bryant during the 2021 Basketball Hall of Fame Enshrinement Ceremony at Mohegan Sun Arena on May 15, 2021 in Uncasville, Connecticut. Kobe Bryant tragically died in a California helicopter crash on Jan 26, 2020.
Vanessa Bryant has settled the lawsuit her mother filed against her, TMZ reported.
Sofia Laine, Vanessa’s mother, claimed she worked for her daughter and the late Kobe Bryant for 20 years and is owed $200,000 in wages for her services.
Laine also claims that the late NBA star said that he would take care of her for the rest of her life but after his death in January of last year, she claims Vanessa kicked her out of the house that Kobe allegedly bought for her.
Vanessa says her mother’s actions are, “frivolous, disgraceful and unimaginably hurtful.” She added, “My husband never promised my mother anything, and he would be so disappointed in her behavior and lack of empathy.”
