Vanessa Bryant: I'm No Gold Digger!
by Free Britney at .Vanessa Bryant may not be a gold-digging, domineering basketball wife ... but she gave a quote earlier this week that certainly came off that way.
Regarding husband Kobe Bryant, she told New York Magazine, "I certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can't win championships."
"If you're sacrificing time away from my family and myself for the benefit of winning championships, then winning a championship should happen every single year."
Yeah. Probably not the best word choice. Vanessa is now setting the record straight, clarifying to TMZ that she loves and supports Kobe, no matter what.
"I'm sad to hear that some of the comments in my New York Magazine interview are being misconstrued and taken out of context," says Vanessa Bryant.
"I have been with Kobe for 13 years. I accepted his marriage proposal PRIOR to him winning any of his 5 championships with his teammates."
"I have and will continue to support my husband’s dreams. For anyone to think otherwise is wrong. It is not about being married to a ‘winner.'"
"It is about our sacrifice as a family."
Kobe and Vanessa got engaged in 2000, the year he won his first NBA title, so you can't argue with her there, and she took him back after he allegedly cheated more than once. Basically you gotta cut the female Bryant some slack ... right?

Unlike most basketball wives these days this girl has accomplished nothing on her own and doesn't have her own identity other than being Kobe's wife although he has numerous extramarital affairs. She is aging, is uneducated and isn't even a good role model or mother for her 2 young girls. She IS a Gold Digger! Most definitely!
Some people marry for love some people marry for money. If winning Championships is all she cares about then, SURE she's a Gold Digger, Championships bring $$$$$$(endorsements)....
No, I don't consider Vanessa n gold digger, she fell n love w/ Kobe & w/ that she hs decided 2 ride it out w/ he Boo...Happens everyday n r world jus so happens that, Kobe's situation ws publicized!
She seems to be alot of work. Like it takes ALOT to keep this broad happy. Even if she were to divorce him she'd still walk away banking. 2 kids and more than likely spousal support. Some people call her a Gold Digger but some would also call her smart! How many women on here can honestly say they wouldnt do the same if they were handed the life style she has? If you say no your a LIAR!
Juan.... You just sound bitter and jealous!?! People who hate like you are just angry because you didn't get what they want out of life. You're just SAD! Did a white woman laugh at your short body and tiny penis?
