Hey, us bloggers have feelings, too, you know. Well, not really, but this one still hits close to home. Kobe Bryant's wife verbally attacked blogger Laura Lane over an article Lane wrote for ESPN The Magazine. On her personal blog, ridethefastlane.com, Lane recounts being chewed out by Vanessa in front of her young daughters after a Lakers game on Friday night.:
Last night, I got cussed out by Vanessa Bryant. Seriously. At the Lakers game. In front of her kids. In front of the Lakers locker room. It was awesome. She is mad about an article I wrote where I mentioned her. That means one of two things - she either reads the ESPN blog or she has herself on Google alerts. Both are fantastic.
So as I’m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.
“Laura!” she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). “F*ck you! You f*cking bitch!”
“Excuse me?” I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there’s not.
Her daughters – ages 5 and 2 – are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.
“F*ck you! How dare you write about me and my daughters and their schedule! You didn’t say you were writing an article! F*ck you! You f*cking bitch. You have no journalism ethics! F*ck you! You bitch -
I just stare at her. I’ve heard many stories about her from reporters, but this was unbelievable. Two of my friends from the LA Times told me how she cussed out one of them last season, because he said hi to her daughter. “Join the club, this means you’ve arrived,” said one reporter when word spread of my run-in with Vanessa. “She’s insane,” said another. “Everyone knows it.”
Here's what Lane wrote that pissed Vanessa off:
"Vanessa, who is usually prim and proper in all black, has decided to have fun tonight. … She's wearing a white tube dress, a purple tutu, black leggings, high-heeled short boots and a rhinestone-encrusted white leather jacket with the number 8 on the back, Kobe's old number. … Bryant's kids have recently started playing soccer in addition to gymnastics, ballet and hip-hop. 'I'm like a total soccer mom,' Vanessa says."
I can't imagine why this would get Vanessa's panties in a twist, unless as the other journalists said, she's insane. Either that or she was understandably embarrassed that the entire world now knows she actually owns a white tube dress.
