As I read this posts I am dismayed that everyone is so surprised that Ms. Laine-Bryant is sticking buy her husband.
I know that many NBA/NFL wives fully expect their men to cheat. I know of one lady who at the time was the fiance and is now the wife of an NFL star who said, "I know he has women on the side, but I don't care. I'm the one he loves. I'm the one with the six carat rock. I'm the one with a phat condominium that's paid for (they weren't even married yet, nor did they live together). So I get all the perks and why do I care where he sleeps as long as he's protected."
I tell that story to say that these women know what they are signing up for when they sign their marriage papers. They expect to sacrifice the commitment of marriage for the money, celebrity, etc..
That's why I was not surprised at all at Vanessa's response. She got on Kobe's payroll long ago and has been bought off in full.
Hell yeah she'll take the ring he bought her, she'd have stayed without it. Ups to her for milking the situation and getting it. I guess she renegotiated her contract
Anyway, I don't believe he did it. I thought today's Boondocks was hillarious. Check it out. I can't figure out how to paste the pic in.
