hey you all thanks for clicking on this video and welcome back to inner speaks today i wanted
to go over some vanessa bryant news and some of the negativity she's been receiving so let's go
ahead and get into it so recently vanessa bryan gifted kobe's sister sharia a brand new tesla
i thought this was so sweet and you could tell sharia was really overcome with emotion and
seemed really thankful to vanessa this to me was a good representation of who vanessa is as a person
there have been some people who have questioned maybe some of the moves she's made since the
passing of her husband and daughter especially when it comes to continuing kobe's legacy but
despite going through her own grief and trying to heal she still manages to show appreciation
for the ones closest to her now even though this was a positive gesture i did see online that
people were giving vanessa flack for this there were a few people in the comments on blogs saying
that vanessa should be taking care of colby's parents instead and that the bryan family should
be able to afford their own gifts now look i'm not saying i don't agree with the fact that yes
the bryan family should be able to provide for and treat themselves but who says they can even if the
bryant family has the money to do for themselves which i'm sure that they do that doesn't mean
they can't accept a gift or that they shouldn't be gifted anything now when it comes to vanessa
taking care of kobe's parents that's another story if you weren't aware kobe's parents never
really were here for vanessa like that and they didn't have the best relationship with kobe either
just a quick backstory kobe started dating vanessa when he was 20 and she was 17. they actually got
engaged within six months and when they did get married kobe's parents decided not to attend
they felt like he was young and they probably also had some doubts about vanessa and if she was
really in it for the right reasons over the years they went through different ups and downs where at
one point they wouldn't speak for years on end and his parents actually sold some of his memorabilia
which also didn't help their relationship kobe actually addressed this and he said that he was
very upset and felt disrespected and his parents did eventually apologize now while i feel kobe was
probably trying to reconcile their differences because he did say he wanted a big family
and he wanted everyone to be on one accord i don't know if this was something he was able to fully
accomplish before he passed away so with all that being said i don't know how vanessa's relationship
is with kobe's parents i would assume it's probably not the best given their history
but she did actually thank them for raising kobe during kobe's hall of fame speech during the
speech she mentioned that her and kobe did discuss them being present during his induction but they
were not actually there now this caused some more flack on vanessa because a friend of kobe's
other sister shaya took to social media to make it known that vanessa did not extend an invitation to
his parents nor were they even aware that kobe wanted them there she said that had they known
she's pretty sure they would have shown up now the neighborhood talk posted these screenshots of what
the friend had to say i'm not going to read all of it but you can pause it and read everything
if you'd like to in this screenshot anessa says his parents didn't just choose not to go to the
hall of fame his parents were totally disrespected at his memorial his parents should have been told
that conversation happened if they would have known that prior to hearing it in the hall of
fame speech last night i believe with all my heart that they would have attended and i believe that
would have brought them so much comfort to know that that's what was in their son's heart and mind
my heart breaks for his parents all over again shaya also wasn't invited so she was able to
stay home with her parents and comfort them so this it really turned people off to vanessa again
and i mean reading this it doesn't sound too good you would think that you would want his entire
family to be there or at least who he wanted to be there especially when it comes to
something so big and so important to him you know something they were discussing just a week before
i don't feel that she should have any hate or negativity directed to her but people are entitled
to feel how they feel and personally i think his parents should have been there apparently
they were contacted by a third party who made it clear they would have to pay for flights in hotels
if they chose to come and i just don't agree with that even if vanessa herself didn't want
to pay for them again due to their own personal issues the nba should have made it possible for
his parents to be there like as the parents of kobe bryant there should be no excuse as
to why his parents can't be a part of literally everything to celebrate or to commemorate their
son period but back to this whole gifting on the car sharia has been very present in helping
vanessa grieve vanessa thanked her at kobe's hall of fame speech saying sharia has gone quote above
and beyond and so her thanking her again by gifting her a car is really no big deal to me
at the end of the day we only know what gets made public we don't know if vanessa has spoken to
kobe's parents or his other sister or if she has looked out for them financially since he's passed
hopefully they are all working on healing together and mending their relationship as i'm sure that's
what kobe would have wanted the inner speaks quote of the day is do not judge or speak ill
to others because you never know what people are going through you all thanks again for watching
feel free to comment down below what you think of this situation and i will see you next time bye
