Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram on Saturday to defend her late husband against rape allegations. The 38-year-old mother shared a screenshot of an old tweet from Evan Rachel Wood, who expressed her condolences to Kobe Bryants family just hours after he and his daughter, Gianna, were killed in a helicopter crash. Though the actress acknowledged Kobe Bryant as a sports hero, she also described him as a rapistan apparent reference to his 2003 sexual assault case that was ultimately dismissed. What has happened was tragic. I am heartbroken for Kobes family, Wood wrote in the Jan. 26, 2020 tweet. He was a sports hero. He was also a rapist. And all of these truths can exist simultaneously. Wood received widespread backlash over the post and deleted it shortly after. She went on to share another message that addressed the tragedy without any mention of the rape case. What has happened is tragic. Beloveds, this was not a condemnation or a celebration, the subsequent tweet read. It was a reminder that everyone will have different feelings and there is room for us all to grieve together instead of fighting. Everyone has lost. Everyone will be triggered, so please show kindness and respect to all.

Vanessa Bryant told her followers it wasnt until recently that she became aware of Woods rapist tweet. She also sent a strongly worded message to the Westworld actress, telling her how dangerous these types of accusations can be. Your false, insensitive, defamatory and slanderous tweet on 1/26/20 is vile and disturbing to say the least, she wrote. Behavior like this is part of the reason why innocent black men go to jail for crimes they didnt commit. An accusation doesnt make someone guilty. You dont know the facts of the case. Producer Abigail Disney made a similar claim against Kobe Bryant just several days after his death. I havent said anything about Kobe so far because I felt some time needed to pass before weighing in. But yes, its time for the sledgehammer to come out. The man was a rapist. Deal with it. Vanessa Bryant responded to Disneys tweet with a nearly identical message to the one she sent Wood. Kobe Bryant was charged with sexual assault in 2003 when a then-19-year-old woman claimed he had raped her in a Colorado hotel room in July of that year. Bryant, who was 24 at the time, admitted he had a sexual encounter with the woman, but maintained it was consensual. The criminal case was dismissed in 2004 after the accuser refused to testify.

He came as close to admitting it without admitting it as you can. He acknowledged that he hurt her and that she didn't consider it consensual. That's rape. He did great things on the basketball court and in his community, but he also raped that woman. The only rational thing to do is to acknowledge both of those facts.

I bet you think Emmett Till went after that white women too.

Hope said what he had to kill it. The women in question lied left and right and even made a joke rap song about what "happened"

Kobe also initially lied to detectives and claimed he didn't even have sex with her. They told him that she had consented to a medical examination and he changed his story, then claiming it was consensual. The dude was guilty.

The cops are not the media. You don't lie to the cops because of infidelity. You lie to cover up a crime.

He appeared guilty based on the media I remember but I'm pretty ignorant of it all. Makes the recent talks from players about making him the NBA logo off putting.

How is that the same? Bill Clinton lied when he was on public display. Kobe Bryant lied in a private interview with detectives. They had no reason to tattle on him and tell his wife. They didn't care about his infidelity. They cared about a criminal accusation.

Its been a while since Ive read over the facts of this case, but if I recall correctly, they had consensual sex. She only complained about a specific act during the encounter, which was him bending her over a chair, but she didnt vocalize it. According to Kobe, he actually asked her if he could ejaculate on her face. The narrative seems strange that he would be forcibly raping her and then ask her if that part was okay.

I reminded my cousins about this when he was getting a kings funeral. They were amazed by how big his funeral was. Hes one of the best ever, but its just basketball.

On a similar conversation with my cousins, we discussed Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier from UFC. Jones is the better fighter, but Id rather cheer for DC cuz hes not a piece of shit and hes pretty damn good too.

This has everything about the rape case. I don't want to speak ill of the dead, but it's hard to deny that he most likely raped someone.

Im not saying either side is telling the whole truth but having semen stains from multiple people could mean you were sexually assaulted by all of them.

She also could have been embarrassed when her friends asked about it and tried to play it off.

I cant make a better judgement on that type of thing unless I knew how that conversation went but I knew people in high school that said they got assaulted at a party. The dude was popular and bragged he hit it and people made fun of the girl calling her a slut, etc. The girl said she didnt even remember anything. Only a handful of people ever believed she was drugged/raped and people thought she only said it because of people calling her names and such. Maybe she changed her story because she was embarrassed, or maybe she actually was raped while under the influence and realized it later. Later I found out the guy had drugged multiple girls at parties, even though he was popular and dated hot ass girls...so why would anyone believe hed rape anyone? Thats the problem with the Kobe story. Its too hard to base it off of some friends saying she bragged or why shed tell them certain things.
