Vanessa Bryant Blasts Actress Evan Rachel Wood For Calling Kobe A Rapist

Vanessa Threatens To Sue Evan Rachel Wood Over Kobe Slander

Vanessa Bryant took to social media yesterday, to blast actress Evan Rachel Wood for a disrespectful tweet she made about Kobe last year. Evan called her late husband Kobe Bryant a “rapist” soon after he died in a helicopter crash last year.

“Your false, insensitive, defamatory and slanderous tweet on 1/26/20 is vile and disturbing to say the least,” Vanessa Bryant said in a post on her Instagram Story.

“Behavior like this is part of the reason why innocent black men go to jail for crimes they didn’t commit. An accusation doesn’t make someone guilty.”

According to reports, Vanessa is considering suing Evan over her comments. In July 2003, Kobe Bryant was accused of raping a hotel employee in Colorado.

Bryant was charged with sexual assault and spent much of the 2003-2004 NBA season traveling back and forth between Los Angeles and Eagle, Colorado for court hearings.

The charges against Bryant were later dropped when his accuser decided to not testify; Bryant later settled a civil case outside of court in 2005.
