Vanessa Bryant has reacted to the allegation by her mother, Sofia Laine who claimed that she kicked her out of her house after Kobe Bryant’s death.
Sofia Laine in an interview with Univision‘s El Gorda y La Flaca said Vanessa took her car from her and stopped being supportive in the wake of Kobe’s passing.
She said: “[Vanessa told me, ‘I need you to get out of this house.’ She said she wanted her car immediately too.”
However, Vanessa Bryant, whose husband and daughter died only months ago, in a statement released to Univision accused her mother of trying to play the victim’s card and trick the public to get sympathy.
The statement reads: “My husband and daughter passed away unexpectedly, and yet my mother had the audacity to do a television interview speaking negatively of me while shedding tears for a car and a house that were not in her name.
“She has removed all her diamond jewelries, emptied the apartment I provided, and put away the furniture to make it look like she doesn’t have my support.
“Kobe and I supported her financially for the past 20 years, and continue to do so, in addition to her monthly alimony.”
“Contrary to previous reports, she has not been physically present or emotionally supportive of my daughters and me after my husband and daughter passed away."

Vanessa concluded her statement by sharing that she now sees what her mother’s priorities truly are and that their personal relationship might soon cease to exist.
“Now I see what is most important to my mother and it’s more than painful. I hope that everything that is coming out about our personal relationship ends here.”
Over the course of the last eight months, Vanessa and her three girls have mourned the loss of husband and father and daughter and sister, Kobe and Gianna, after they, along with seven others, were killed in a helicopter accident on January 26 near Calabasas.
Vanessa and her three girls received an outpouring of support from friends and fans of the late Lakers basketball player in the days following the horrible accident. Now, they continue the process of rebuilding and moving forward.
