Yeah, certain.
Vanessa Bryant hasn’t responded to Johnson’s wild claims, however she doesn’t must; social media is doing the job for her.
“Vanessa Bryant wakened one morning and by no means noticed her husband and daughter once more, and she or he continues to be (seemingly) functioning. If that girl places all of Kobe’s cash in a fuckin tissue field and wipes her tears with it on daily basis, she deserves to try this,” one X person wrote.
Others level out how Johnson has did not ship to the varsity he’s been asking for donations for since 2014.
