The Real Reason Kobe Bryant Had Tough Relationship With His Mother | The Celebritist 

Honor your mother and father your days will be longer

A man can have multiple woman, multiple children & multiple friends but you will only have one mother, honour thy mother.

I’m sorry but I can’t respect Kobe on this one.

Money changes everything 💔

So sad he married a gold digger that all she care about is the lawsuit 😂😅.

Whether or not I had a bad relationship with my mom. I wouldn't leave her brokes, If I had money.

He died a very TRAGIC death..HE LEFT THIS WORLD HE LEFT EVERYTHING HE DIDN'T TAKE NONE OF IT ...he should've done right by his parents..GOD LOVES THAT..and you live longer..THATS THE WORD!! It's in the BIBLE

Died having close to a $400M estate and had a family fall out over $400k and some sports Memorabilia

How many people watched and listened to this and still do not get the big picture? It’s a damn shame people don’t comprehend this instead of just going off emotions

Shut up! His parents are good foundation not his talents his up bringing and he forgot to honor that. PARENTS

Family matters can be touchy, sensitive, and complex. I think it was a matter of respect which is priceless. For respect is a matter of the heart. Unfortunately , there were no winners in this situation. We can only hope that behind the opinions that their relationship was restored in private.

Kobe was petty.

So what did he took to the grave? Nothing he left his parent unhappy ☹️ and upset with him

When you do not honor your parents you desperate God. God said honor your Father and Mother or your day will be shortened. Do not put material things forward God or your PARENTS Amen. FORGIVE and Love one another as God is you. AMAN

I believe Kobe and Vanessa are not as innocent as people think. And for her to not mention his parents at his memorial speaks volume of the person she is !!

He spoiled Vanessa giving her so much power that in the end she didn't put his parents in his memorial service. That was very disrespectful now her mom is taking her to court for 5 million. Vanessa so damn evil she can give that 5 million to her mom it's not going to break her 600 million. Kobe parents haven't said a word. I think Kobe shortened his days acting that way towards his parents and his soul isn't at rest. I think Kobe is in hell looking up and he regrets NOT doing the right things periodt!

Vanessa is Not as beautiful as his MOTHER hmmm

What we have to look at is Kobe’s parents are the typical old school parents who wanted him to marry his race and they felt he wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment. Kobe’s father saw what Vanessa and especially her mother is about. Kobe cut off his parents and siblings yet bought Vanessa’s mother a million dollar home in their neighborhood, paid off all of her and her ex husband’s debts, bought her a new car every year. Why do you think she’s suing Vanessa saying Kobe promised take care of her financially for the rest of her life. As articulate as Kobe appeared to be, he left a mess. Keep believing that ESPN narrative that he fell out of the sky at 18 as an NBA Superstar and Vanessa made him what he was. Kudos to Shaq for showing love to the parents.

Why is this google so important now Kobe is gone what ever happen cant change and no one will ever know. Not speaking to your parents is something i wouldnt of wanted to take to my grave. What is a Legend your acomplishment but who is truley the legend GOD. and the parents who truley was there and raised you.

It back fired you did your parents dirty bye

its not a secret, throughout the years Kobe has been known to be the team mate from hell, even talked down on Shaq, THAT TELLS US EVERYTHING we need to know about Kobe relations with his family. Clearly they sold his memorabilia because they didnt have money, meaning HE DIDNT TAKE CARE OF THEM. There should be a documentary about Kobe wife, thats all i gotta say.

Cant treat your family wrong..they made you. That's what Kobe forgot

Money ain’t 💩 He should’ve gave his parents ANYTHING THEY ASK OR WANTED💯 I sure they made SACRIFICES FOR HIM. God said honor your mother and father or your days my be long💯 Kobe is gone, you can’t take money 💴 with you. Can’t enjoy the fruit of his labor. Just sad

He left his money to his wife who will marry another Men in few years and will foregot him, but didnt Apreciate his family who made him who he was .. God give him time and more success to think about his Parents and reunite with them or if he wasnt Interested to be in good Term with his family if i have half of Billon? I wu'd buy my Parents a 5M House where they can live the Rest of thier life and said thankyou herw u have a House but i am not Intersted to be close to you Again🤷‍♀️. But he was so Selfish that God toook him so early in this World ..

So wrong cutting your parent because of selling your memorabilia. You went alone leaving everything behind

Kobe's Parents We're Wrong. Anyone Who Truly Followed Him Knows This.

His parents sacrificed a lot so he could be a great basketball player. You don’t take.care of in-laws and not your parents! Kobe lost his way and he paid the price . Karmas a bitch and now it’s at Vanessa door . Wish the best to the Bryant family. Do your research before you do a piece

Sounds like he let Evil dictate his life. Nobody and I mean nobody would come between my me and my mom. She sold his things because he wasn't doing anything for them at the time. Remember when, his parents left Los Angels. They had issues then. He married Vanessa when, they were dead set against it. It was more going on than we know.

I don't thing that's reason to stop talking to your parents, specially parents that always stood there for you. mine wasn't there for me, my aunt took care of me until i become a teenager, but i forgive them, and i have a good relationship with my mom specially. yes i know it's upseting and dissapointing, but it's not something critical, where as much as you want, you cannot forgive? and look when this happened, 2013 three years before his retirement, when he was already a millonaire. today he's no longer with us and has two women fighting over his money.

RIP Kobe if you see this comment fix it with your mom or dad if it wasn’t for them you wouldn’t be here people don’t understand it’s been friction before his mom sold the items his mom loved him

Mama knew he married a Golddiger.

The bible says, honor thy mother and thy father in the Lord, and your days shall be long in the earth. Case closed. Don't hang out or marry someone that does not honor their mother and father.

His parents made a public statement apologizing to Kobe for selling his memorabilia without permission, they admitted that Kobe was Financially supporting them until they did all that shady shit. Imagine your accomplishments In trophies, Championship rings etc. you giving them to your parents as representing a “Thank you for getting me here.” For them to turn around instead and sell it all in an auction for $450,000+. That’s a slap in the damn face tellin your child none of it mattered to them but they would rather have had the money. So those who are saying he should have respected his parents and still had listened and done for them what they did for him. When is it ever ok for your parents to disrespect you? Never! He did what he felt in his heart he needed to do because of their own ungratefulness. And they reconciled after his retirement, so he did what he needed to do in order for them to understand as his parents your kids should always be respected even in their choices.

Kobe bought a better, more expensive house for his in-laws. That's why his mom was pissed.

Rest in Peace Kobe.

Vanessa is not beautiful.

He should respect his mom and dad

It's in the Bible. Obey your parents

Vanessa and her family made a huge mistake by not having Kobe parents speak at the funeral. His family didn’t want him to marry her because they were young. It wasn’t from ill intentions. Vanessa needs to reconcile all the issues with his family it will be better for everyone in the end. I understand they were married but always honor your parents life is short . Kobe mistake was not speaking with his parents. If he was alive I feel like he would’ve fixed everything. I don’t think his parents attended Kobe hall of fame Vanessa needs to reach out

Your days are cut short when you dishonor your parents.

I'm Latina my mom always said when the son gets married usually forget their moms and get closed to their wives family . In Islam mother comes first second and third . Paradise is under our mothers feet . He forgot his mom, and he lost everything . Who carried him for 9 months , who gave him birth and feed him and took care for him ? His wife didn't raised him or feed him . Of course Vanessa was his love , but his mother knew him first . Now Vanessa is getting trouble with her mom . very sad

Kobe did have anything growing up the parents paid for everything he have you abandon his parents because of money

His mom saw him as an ATM. Case closed. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Can't let mama and daddy go hungry if they were there for me just because they don't like my wife smh no way

Selling his things...things that they helped him achieve? If there is anyone who can have anything that i own, it is my mother. " i was going to buy them a nice home".... why didnt they already have one given the money he had. Whatever story the media wants to put out there is a joke. We as Black people know the truth, and its not pretty. But go ahead

Correction! Kobe’s relationship with his parents changed when he started dating Vanessa. They thought he was to young and didn’t like her because she wasn’t black

All that materialism meant nothing at the end that's for sure. To turn your back on those that inspired you to fulfil your dreams is a crime.

Just by looking at pictures of Kobe’s mom you can tell that she is an intense woman. Kobe even mentioned how she was super competitive. Obviously I don’t know her so I can’t state any of these things as facts. But there’s no doubt that mothers sometimes can be a daughter in laws worst nightmare. Your parents should be cordial to your partner, especially if your partner has not done anything wrong.

His mother was in the right.

Lost respect for Kobe when I found out how he treated his parents. And ill tell you this... Vanessa isn't the innocent victim they paint her to be.. look at her mom. The apple dont fall to far from the tree.

You missing something important which is why she would need to sell his stuff to afford a house

Damn y’all acting like y’all knew kobe and his family personally and saying the most fucked up shit. Smfh

As “Pink Book Lessons” pointed out. There’s a lot left out surrounding the subject of his parents selling his memorabilia. Kobe’s mom asked him if he wanted the stuff and Kobe told his mom, “No, it’s yours mom...” According to Kobe, he had been taking care of them for most of his NBA career and them selling his stuff, highlighted their unappreciative attitude towards him. I don’t agree with him on that. They sacrificed their entire adult lives so that u can become one of the greatest athletes in the entire world. He bought his mother in law a house, Which is why I don’t understand why his parents had to sell his memorabilia to purchase a home. He probably bought them a house a longtime ago, I don’t know. His father was NBA player and played in Italy too, but that doesn’t mean his parents made sound decisions when concerning their finances. There’s a lot to unpack here without knowing all the details but my opinion is Vanessa should have insisted, his parents take front seat along with her at his memorial, just for the eyes of the world can witness, even if she didn’t want to do it. It wasn’t a good look. It’s perceived that his parents had very little to do with his success, which is hardly the case.

A man who was nasty to his parents. God punished him.

Honor your mother and your father And he did not do that

KOBE WAS WRONG ! He was worth $325MILLION & did NOTHIN for His Parents. He paid College for His 2 Sis, that's it. NOT Vanessa's fault, She kept The FAM together. It's JORDAN'S ! In a 2013 post gm. interview, a Reporter asked about it, He replied, "They solded My $#¡T" ! "Why not give Them💰"? He said, "They need to find Their OWN way". Those are MICHAEL JORDAN'S words ! When that idiot was asked about Him doing for His Siblings in His career. Which is BμLL$#¡T ! KOBE did NOT Honor His Mother & Father so HIS days would BE long upon the land, That's BIBLE !!!! KOBE PROMISED His Parents a 🏠 5mths BEFORE Ms.PAM sold that stuff. What, You can't find a 🏠 in 5 mths? $#¡T !!!!

Kobe's mom is so beautiful ❤️

Respect your mom's and dad so you can live a long life.

Doesn't matter!! Days are short! Take it up with the Real King!!!

Honor your mother and father.

He’s not a role model.. he’s a cheater

WOWW. SAD. ALL. THE WAY AROUND. THEY STILL. HIS PARENTS. NO MATTER WHAT. ITS HARD TO BELIEVE. THAT HE TOLD THEM. HE WOULD BUY THEM A HOUSE. BUT THEY STILL. SOLD HIS STUFF. TO BUY A. HOUSE. IT'S NOT. MAKING. SENSE. THAT WOULD HAVE MADE THEM. KEEP THE STUFF. FOR AWHILE. UNTILL THEY WERE. NEEDY AGAIN. THIS IS JUST SO SAD. I WISH. THEY COULD HAVE. MADE UP. THEY. JUST. BEING DRAGGED. ALL THE WAY AROUND. AND IT'S. JUST. NOT RIGHT.

The ONLY thing Kobe's parents wants , is Money.

Well i hope he did because that the woman gave life to you not Vanessa,Vanessa mom either do Vanessa take the kids to see Kobe parent if she does not that is cruel.

It so tragic,he talked about family,but family is not only the wife and kids,what about your foundation family,your Mom and Dad,you throw them by the wayside over eveyday family BS,which could have been rectified,now your Dad is no more and your Mom is left to grief the lost of you both,very sad,RIP.

Vanessa and her MOM is the cause of the fight now Vanessas mom is paying good

Just like he made a mistake his parents did too but i dont think they never stop loving him. To hold on to this till he died there was never peace and CLOSURE. Make peace with yiur love ones and people God is real. He forgave us by sending his only begotten son to die for all of our sins. Jesus said forgive them for thou they do not know. Dont hold bad feeling that comes back to you family have closure. Children become adult and they think they have to prove things to there parents and others. It never works out his parents sacrifice alot for him and he forgot all that. People dont have to like or agree with your but the facts are Respect..

GOD is not concerned about a Mamba Mentality 🤷🏾‍♀️...The World is👀...The BIBLE say to Honor thy mother and *father, or your DAYS will be cut short❤Ephesians 6:2-3❤periodt!...Never Harbor HATE and Hold GRUDGES to anyone...sometime you just have to LOVE ppl with A #Longhandlespoon ❣❤❤❤ if you cant get along😢💔.

Something about the whole story is not right. Where i believe vanessa is money hungry is when she encourage the public to donate money to the family of the other victims that died in the crash. Donate money to their friends, I believe she should have done that out of her own money as an act of friendship. But that is my opinion.

He went alone leaving everything behind!

Isn't it ironic how vanessa get the rid of her mother when kobe died, and vanessa mother was living a lavish life when kobe was alive but now claiming she is broke. Kobe loved his mother in law better than his own mother and father. He was too proud to just call them.

I hope he didn't sell his soul for money. A lot of the NBA have.

God, the Husband or Wife, then the parents.

It's my understanding that at the time of his death, his relationship with both parents remained strained ....Some say it's b/c his parents never approved of him marrying outside his race (He grew up in Italy where black chicks are minimal, Kobe, like Tiger, preferred vanilla..... The parents are adamant that it had nothing to do with race, he married young, lost his virginity to Vanessa and his parents felt he needed to date and sexually experience more B4 settling down (little did they know Koby had no intentions of allowing marriage to stop him from sowing his Oates.. either way, they did not attend his wedding. The bottom line is, his will divided his estate equally among his wife and kids, NOTHING to his parents!!

How about we just leave Vanessa do what she feels. She needs to do. We don’t know the truth. Why talk about it and people make bad choices and decisions we live to regret it and if people are making decisions for the right reasons, they have nothing to be forgiven for so why don’t we let God stop judging her I only always heard negative things about Kobe Bryant‘s parents if he wanted to make a man would’ve been made before he passed away and it would’ve been all over the TV but it wasn’t them over the TV. It was never talked about magazine the way it’s right, but that is not Vanessa decision. He made a decision, just honoring it just stop pointing and let God leave her alone

I’m sorry… THAT was the reason why he stopped talking to his mom? Ain’t no way? Petty is a damn understatement. Elvis would intentionally give his parents, friends, loved ones, strangers gifts of his personal belongings and tell them to sell if it they came on hard times because he understood the value of his items on the resale market and how much more value others could get out of it just for it being his belongings. Even if it was meaningful to him. I understand Kobe being upset about it, I understand him wanting his parents to tell him first et , but literally not talking to them anymore, then his wife carrying the beef forward from behind his grave and ensuring that she doesn’t help them out financially in their old age, and their literally trying to get by financially as seniors. Like wow. That’s crazy to me. I don’t want to judge, but I’m judging. I hope there’s something more to the situation. . .

It's simple hounor your mother and father so you may live a long life. Didn't Solomon the wisest man taught us about the divine grace. Its Sad Kobe never lived by this rule... these rules are divine the Almighty God teaches all of us a lesson whether we like it or not. Gods words lives forever

Honor thy father and mother for long days! This may have been part of his demise

I don’t feel great love for my mother she was not loving towards me, I still looked after her, she is my mother. I found it my heart to look past her faults. I thanked her for not aborting or forsaken me during my toddlerhood. My tribulations alchemise me into a great man, most importantly of all, made me know God. I wouldn’t change anything.

You only have one father & mother !!! Vanessa step up they were your in-laws. I was in high school when jellybean played

It’s insane how much Gianna looks like her grandmother. Rip

The twin killers of success are impatience and greed. Maybe that's why Kobe's parents are where they are.

basically his parents didnt want him to marry vanessa cause of her race, they started selling his stuff out of spite, bo reason to keep close with toxic people

& Y’all gonna tell me his wife got none to do w this)

Your mother love 💖 is the best

Not to thank the people that put you in the position and not to make it right with your parents.. he was an evil soul and I never liked him

Yes he did👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾she NEVER stopped loving him and he NEVER stopped loving her🥰💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜💛💜 Vannessa's gold digger mom was the problem,she had her mind on Kobe's fortune since day one, she threatened Kobe to marry Vanessa when they were young,she said if he didn't marry her she the mom would say it was stachatory rape🤨the mother-in-law was a real "B" but real love last forever and Kobe and his mom have real love😘💛💜

Deep down I think kobe was heart broken over his parents betrayal and never came to terms off working things out for the best, money is the root of evil, you can't take it with you when you're gone, like Jada Pinkett said never give relatives money nor buy them things they can't afford, especially if there trying to profit off of you

So sad I know she is heart broken her baby is gone and yall fell out over money

Kobe was TRASH for this. His parents are the reason he went the the league. If they hadn’t provided him the life he led as a child he may not have played BBall. Dude had 100s of millions of dollars and momdukes had to sell a ring to afford a $450k house? That’s not even a lot of house. Y’all need to quit it. Not acceptable. I don’t like my moms but she still get a lil package from me each month to help her out

Children obey your parents.period

Why this much grudge against parents. You have millions and can't take care of your parents? As much as people respect Kobe and his mamba mentality, I wonder how many of us can deal with this type of person if he was your friend, family , coworker or your boss. Regardless of his trophies he was rude to everyone.

HE WAS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND MEAN TO HIS PARENTS THAT WOMAN HATED HIS PARENTS!!

His parents were Wrong... they put money above Kobe. They will never be able to make it right ""greed and pride"" That's got to eat at their hearts everyday. Kobe died knowing that what ever he did no matter how much he gave his parent's were never satisfied. That broke is heart 😢😢😢

A parents reward for their hard work whilst raising children is with God, never should parents expect children to pay them back for the sacrifices they made. It's unbiblical. This concept keeps destroying families & relationships..it needs to stop.

Don't forget his parents didn't like that he married a latina as well

Everybody in here blaming Kobe as if it’s his fault for the relationship goin so sour and bringing up bible quotes😂 the Bible also says don’t provoke your children

Families have disputes and it's not unusual hope they patched things up life is short 🙏

its crazy to me. Kobe really didnt give his money to his parents. they wanted money all humans do. money is greed lol

Kobe secretly visited his parents a lot before he died thank God all the shaming was just for show
