Kobe Bryant stood tall last night as his Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-1 lead in the West Finals with a grueling road win at San Antonio.
Similarly, the website that claimed the NBA star had an affair with a Laker Girl named Vanessa Curry is refusing to back down under pressure.
Earlier this week, Bryant's lawyer fired off a letter to TheDirty.com, demanding that the post about Kobe and Vanessa Curry be taken down.
TheDirty claimed Kobe had an affair with Curry, 18, who has resigned her position with the Laker Girls - the Lakers' cheerleaders.
Kobe Bryant of the L.A. Lakers (left) prepares to nail a jumpshot. Bryant's lawyer is denying that Kobe nailed cheerleader Vanessa Curry, however.
The site's lawyers are firing back, claiming the story is in fact true, but even if it wasn't, "because Mr. Bryant has previously publicly admitted to similar acts of infidelity... it seems unlikely that any jury would find 'actual malice.'"
Even better: The Dirty's lawyers say the fact that Kobe Bryant's lawyer went and sent a demand letter regarding the matter "only increases the likelihood that this story will receive more attention than it already has."
The Dirty's lawyer then makes reference to "The Streisand effect" - when Barbara made a stink over photos of her beach pad taken from a helicopter and it just made everyone aware of where she lived.
What do you think? Did Kobe Bryant have an affair with Vanessa Curry? If he didn't, should this site be forced to take down the story?

Yes, he certainly DID have an affair with this Laker Girl, and she "forced" to resign or be fired. She has slept with MANY men since becoming a laker girl, he is only one. True evidence is hard to come by in these cases, but someone definitely wants it out there, so we wait and see if/when any real evidence shows up. I hope it does because Kobe is a PIG for serial cheating on his gorgeous wife and daughters and needs to be brought down!

how do you know vanessa curry slept with many men? you dont even know her, she happens to be a very nice girl who has a great heart. So if you have no evidence that this even happened why are you trippen so hard? get your facts straight and then start pointen the finger.

I'd never marry a professional sportman. They're all about themselves. They're starved for attention, needing to be in the spotlight, and are usually huge sluts.

haha . my sister used to be her best friend during her freshman and sophomore year in high school and she got her ass beat for having sex with a guy who had a girlfriend. She had a boyfriend as well. She switched schools to go to moreau because of that. and also she was videotaped outside of newark days in the community center having sex with some guy on a bench. Also she has a third nipple....Everyone in the city of newark and fremont knows she's a whore!

I understand some of you dislike Kobe because his affairs or because whatever it is.. However, being true or not, you guys deserve the worse.. Kobe has enough money and lawyers to handle this. In few weeks this will be another episode of the past.. However, what is true is that all of you are destroying the life of this girl. So, far, she has been forced to resign as a Lakers girl, probably a long waiting dream that took a lot of efforts to be achieved. I do not care if she slept or not w/ Bryant. However, you guys are destroying her life simply to put trash on top of Kobe... Most probably it is a stupid story created due to jeleous by other Laker girl..my guess. In any case, whatever is the true, if you want to attack Kobe, do so, but do not hurt the life of others, specially this girl. If there is justice, one day you guys will pay for what you are doing to this girl.. All the best Vanessa!!

Maybe she should thought about that before she chose to go off screwing around with him. She knew what she was doing and she also knew that behavior is totally off limits in the Laker organization. She signed a contract stating so. She deserved everything she got.

Curry's parents must be really proud of how ther daughter is making it to fame.

If they both broke the rules, why didn't they fire Kobe too?
