interesting point....how many women are in this thread defending Kobe? Any?
I was really disappointed to see Alicia Keys pay tribute last night. I expected more from her.
What were they upset about?Legit question, were they upset about his passing, or the deification of a guy who had credible rape charges brought against him? (or something else?)

however, I can't personally reconcile "I thought it was consensual". I mean, if she was screaming and saying no the entire time, how is that not obvious? so there's obviously more to it.
So my point is he never apologized for raping her because he believes he did not rape her.
Kobe also lied about having sex with her at all in the first place. Then he suddenly remember strangling her after being confronted with additional evidence.
Bryant initially told investigators that he did not have sexual intercourse with his accuser, a 19-year-old woman who worked at the hotel where Bryant was staying. When the officers told Bryant that she had taken an exam that yielded physical evidence, such as semen, Bryant admitted to having sexual intercourse with her, but stated that the sex was consensual.
When asked about bruises on the accuser's neck, Bryant admitted to "strangling" her during the encounter, stating that he held her "from the back" "around her neck", that strangling during sex was his "thing" and that he had a pattern of strangling a different sex partner (not his wife) during their recurring sexual encounters. When asked how hard he was holding onto her neck, Bryant stated, "My hands are strong. I don't know."Bryant's defense lawyer Pamela Mackey asserted that the accuser was taking an anti-psychotic drug for the treatment of schizophrenia at the time of the incident. In addition to the woman's moral character and reputation being challenged by Bryant's defense lawyer, she received death threats and hate mail and her identity was leaked multiple times.
real nice guy
She also lied to investigators about numerous things. Another man's semen and pubic hair were found on her underwear.
This is victim blaming at it's finest. Liars don't get a 2.5 million out of court settlement.
Show your work - how did she lie? What did she lie about?
The victim was painted as a liar. Her name was leaked, her character and reputation were assassinated.
Kobe's defense argued that having sex multiple times in the same day would be consistent with the vaginal trauma or whatever it's called she was experiencing. She also lied to investigators about why she was late for work that morning. So both of them initially lied.
Victim's also go to trial if they believe their story. See, this goes both ways.
Folks, this an example of someone so entrenched in their Cancel Culture mentality that they lose all objectivity. Go back and read what I said earlier this morning. I've known Kobe before most of the rest of the country knew him because we went to rival schools. I'm literally one of the original Kobe Haters. I was no fan of Kobe Bryant and because of that, at the time, I wanted to believe he was guilty of this crime. But if you go back and read about the details of the case you can see why it did not make it to trial. I'm trying to give you an objective view of this whole thing.
wow, a lot of mental gymnastics to defend a rapist here.
A factor in the woman’s decision to ask prosecutors to drop the case was mistakes by the tiny court in Eagle, Colo., that her attorneys said caused her to lose faith in the judicial system. Her name was mistakenly released to the media three times and a sealed transcript of a closed hearing on DNA evidence was emailed to seven media outlets.Kobe's lie : I didn't rape that women
victim's lie : I was late to work bc car trouble, not bc I overslept
totes the same!
what's your angle here? women who sleep with other men can't be raped?
any thoughts on what she was wearing at the time?0 -
There’s a petition to change the NBA logo to Kobe’s silhouette.Normally these things are a little too reactionary but what he did for the game globally was immeasurable.0

I think a lot of this has been brewing for a while. Since the #metoo movement, lots of 20-30 yr old situations are being made public, rightfully so but Kobe's, not so much. While others are finally getting in trouble, why does he go untouched for over 10 yrs? Why does he get a free pass from the LGBTQ community when he was yelling gay obscenities in his playing days at referees but Kevin Hart loses out on hosting the Oscars because of 10 yr old tweets? Personally, I've never understood how Kobe is given a pass on these situations while others who have apologized are not given the same pass. Again, sucks that this happened, sucks that lives were lost but I understand why people are saying and bringing up the rape stuff, sorry but you can't tell the story about Kobe and not bring it up as much as fans try to pretend it never happened. What do you think his victim is thinking as all these news outlets don't even make one mention of it? Not mentioning it makes it seem like it wasn't a big deal which is why people are upset and talking about it.CM189191 said:The Juggler said:

I’m not sure why it is the media’s responsibility to bring up something that he was not charged with when he died. Look at the outpouring of well wishes from thousands of people. So many people that new him well are distraught. No one is crying over Epstein.0

Its funny how Kobe’s era of the NBA was first looked at as the young punks. Remember how guys like MJ and even Rodman were whining about the lack of respect?They ended up being incredibly tough, blue collar guys. There were no “load management” games for Kobe, Iverson, and KG. They played when you were allowed to hit people, handcheck, etc.
I love the NBA but its definitely a lot softer these days. I respect the hell out of the guys who entered the league in the mid 90s0 -

I don't know."Bryant's defense lawyer Pamela Mackey asserted that the accuser was taking an anti-psychotic drug for the treatment of schizophrenia at the time of the incident. In addition to the woman's moral character and reputation being challenged by Bryant's defense lawyer, she received death threats and hate mail and her identity was leaked multiple times.
real nice guy
She also lied to investigators about numerous things. Another man's semen and pubic hair were found on her underwear.
This is victim blaming at it's finest. Liars don't get a 2.5 million out of court settlement.
Show your work - how did she lie? What did she lie about?
The victim was painted as a liar. Her name was leaked, her character and reputation were assassinated.
Kobe's defense argued that having sex multiple times in the same day would be consistent with the vaginal trauma or whatever it's called she was experiencing. She also lied to investigators about why she was late for work that morning. So both of them initially lied.
Victim's also go to trial if they believe their story. See, this goes both ways.
Folks, this an example of someone so entrenched in their Cancel Culture mentality that they lose all objectivity. Go back and read what I said earlier this morning. I've known Kobe before most of the rest of the country knew him because we went to rival schools. I'm literally one of the original Kobe Haters. I was no fan of Kobe Bryant and because of that, at the time, I wanted to believe he was guilty of this crime. But if you go back and read about the details of the case you can see why it did not make it to trial. I'm trying to give you an objective view of this whole thing.
wow, a lot of mental gymnastics to defend a rapist here.
A factor in the woman’s decision to ask prosecutors to drop the case was mistakes by the tiny court in Eagle, Colo., that her attorneys said caused her to lose faith in the judicial system. Her name was mistakenly released to the media three times and a sealed transcript of a closed hearing on DNA evidence was emailed to seven media outlets.Kobe's lie : I didn't rape that women
victim's lie : I was late to work bc car trouble, not bc I overslept

what's your angle here? women who sleep with other men can't be raped?
any thoughts on what she was wearing at the time?
Cancel Culture at it's worst, folks.
Cancel culture? What does even mean? Or are you just throwing around buzz words now?
Yes, I would like toxic masculinity, harassment, rape and abuse to be cancelled from our culture
...not sure what you are suggesting here...
I'd love for rape to be cancelled from our culture! Yeah! However, one can hope for that while also not believing every single allegation that comes out....especially ones that don't even make it to trial.

Right age to be son or nephew, not exactly a common name and to be that ensconced in the sport makes me wonder.

Answer or not. Up to you.
It was introduced was bc it made it difficult to test for evidence. And it was used to slander the victim.
So the victim had sex with someone else the day before she was raped by Kobe. How is that relevant? Does that somehow make Kobe innocent?

We were not there. According to him she wasn't doing that. She said no to his.....placing some bodily fluids on her face. The fact that she said no to that and didn't say no to anything else is the reason he thought it was consensual. At least, from what I remember...HughFreakingDillon said:
k, I somewhat read often's question incorrectly. No, he didn't make amends to the person harmed. But he moved forward making amends to the broader community of women, in my opinion.The Juggler said:
No it didn't. He never admitted to raping her and wasn't convicted of it either...mcgruff10 said:

yes.oftenreading said:Redemption requires an acknowledgement and admission of guilt and honest efforts to make amends to the person harmed. Do people think that adequately happened?
however, I can't personally reconcile "I thought it was consensual". I mean, if she was screaming and saying no the entire time, how is that not obvious? so there's obviously more to it.
So my point is he never apologized for raping her because he believes he did not rape her.
Kobe also lied about having sex with her at all in the first place. Then he suddenly remember strangling her after being confronted with additional evidence.
Bryant initially told investigators that he did not have sexual intercourse with his accuser, a 19-year-old woman who worked at the hotel where Bryant was staying. When the officers told Bryant that she had taken an exam that yielded physical evidence, such as semen, Bryant admitted to having sexual intercourse with her, but stated that the sex was consensual.
When asked about bruises on the accuser's neck, Bryant admitted to "strangling" her during the encounter, stating that he held her "from the back" "around her neck", that strangling during sex was his "thing" and that he had a pattern of strangling a different sex partner (not his wife) during their recurring sexual encounters. When asked how hard he was holding onto her neck, Bryant stated, "My hands are strong. I don't know."Bryant's defense lawyer Pamela Mackey asserted that the accuser was taking an anti-psychotic drug for the treatment of schizophrenia at the time of the incident. In addition to the woman's moral character and reputation being challenged by Bryant's defense lawyer, she received death threats and hate mail and her identity was leaked multiple times.
real nice guy
She also lied to investigators about numerous things. Another man's semen and pubic hair were found on her underwear.
This is victim blaming at it's finest. Liars don't get a 2.5 million out of court settlement.
Show your work - how did she lie? What did she lie about?
The victim was painted as a liar. Her name was leaked, her character and reputation were assassinated.
Kobe's defense argued that having sex multiple times in the same day would be consistent with the vaginal trauma or whatever it's called she was experiencing. She also lied to investigators about why she was late for work that morning. So both of them initially lied.
Victim's also go to trial if they believe their story. See, this goes both ways.
Folks, this an example of someone so entrenched in their Cancel Culture mentality that they lose all objectivity. Go back and read what I said earlier this morning. I've known Kobe before most of the rest of the country knew him because we went to rival schools. I'm literally one of the original Kobe Haters. I was no fan of Kobe Bryant and because of that, at the time, I wanted to believe he was guilty of this crime. But if you go back and read about the details of the case you can see why it did not make it to trial. I'm trying to give you an objective view of this whole thing.
wow, a lot of mental gymnastics to defend a rapist here.
A factor in the woman’s decision to ask prosecutors to drop the case was mistakes by the tiny court in Eagle, Colo., that her attorneys said caused her to lose faith in the judicial system. Her name was mistakenly released to the media three times and a sealed transcript of a closed hearing on DNA evidence was emailed to seven media outlets.Kobe's lie : I didn't rape that women
victim's lie : I was late to work bc car trouble, not bc I overslept
totes the same!
what's your angle here? women who sleep with other men can't be raped?
any thoughts on what she was wearing at the time?
Cancel Culture at it's worst, folks.
Cancel culture? What does even mean? Or are you just throwing around buzz words now?
Yes, I would like toxic masculinity, harassment, rape and abuse to be cancelled from our culture
...not sure what you are suggesting here...
I'd love for rape to be cancelled from our culture! Yeah! However, one can hope for that while also not believing every single allegation that comes out....especially ones that don't even make it to trial.
Answer or not. Up to you.
It was introduced was bc it made it difficult to test for evidence. And it was used to slander the victim.
So the victim had sex with someone else the day before she was raped by Kobe. How is that relevant? Does that somehow make Kobe innocent?
Talking about evidence is considered "victim blaming" to today's Cancel Culture Warriors. This is a huge piece of evidence and likely part of the reason the prosecution was afraid to go to trial.
How on earth can a defendant defend him or herself when every piece of evidence would be considered "victim blaming?"
She had "vaginal trauma" because, she said, of the forced sex. But she didn't say that she had sex afterwards. They only discovered that because the DNA test found that evidence on her underwear. So the defense argued that having sex multiple times in a short time frame would result in this kind of "trauma." Reasonable enough, right? Her excuse for having another man's semen and pubic hair on her underwear that she was bringing to investigators was that she just grabbed dirty underwear from her laundry basket by mistake.
As much as you'd like it to be, this was most definitely not an open and shut case.Post edited by The Juggler onwww.myspace.com0
