Mr. Laine's failed marriage is his business. Vanessa's 10 year marriage to Kobe Bryant is their business. There is absolutely No way that she should be classified as a gold digger when she was by his side while he earned his wealth. Had she been a girl friend and married Kobe a couple of years ago, maybe Mr. Laine would be able to resort to Name calling, but considering the fact that Vanessa Bryant was by his side during the highs and the lows, for better and the worst portion, she deserves the lioness share of their wealth. By all indications, Kobe has quietly decided to settle with her, so the dutiful thing for Mr. Laine is to step back, or step correct. P.S. Vanessa knows more about her marriage to Kobe, and she does Not Need the advice of the world. She appears to be a smart cookie, and knows that she does Not have to * settle for crumbs. PEACE!!
