Vanessa Accused Of Disrespecting Kobe Bryant’s Parents At Memorial
Kobe’s Wife Vanessa Accused Of ‘Disrespecting’ His Parents At Memorial
Kobe Bryant Memorial Service held yesterday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. It was an event to remember. Kobe’s wife and close friends got the chance to speak about the late Lakers icon and his daughter Gigi.
There were also attendees and tributes from A class celebrities, including LeBron James, Beyonce, Alicia Keys to mention a few.
But two people were noticeably missing from the stage, Kobe’s parents. Kobe’s parents Joe and Pam Bryant were seated in the second row of the audience, and off to the side – away from Vanessa and her daughters.
Folks on social media are upset, believing that Kobe’s parents were being disrespected – relegated to the side and not given a chance to speak at their only son’s memorial.
Twitter users are accusing Vanessa for not making a concerted effort to mend things and show her husband’s parents some “respect.”
Those accusations are not supported, however, by evidence. The fans don’t know what Vanessa’s relationship is with Kobe’s parents. But it wasn’t just Kobe’s parent’s who didn’t speak at the memorial service. Neither did Kobe’s sisters.
Many fans on Twitter believe that it would have been more fitting for an immediate family member outside of Vanessa to speak at the memorial service since for them Kobe Bryant was not just a basketball legend, he was their son and/or brother.
