He was a rapist. Deal with it': Disney heiress Abigail Disney weighs in on Kobe Bryant's rape case past
Daily Mail ^ | 1-29-2020 | Leah Simpson

Posted on 01/29/2020 8:26:06 PM PST by ZagFan

Abigail Disney has weighed in on Kobe Bryant's controversial past, after actress Evan Rachel Wood and a Washington Post journalist were berated for tweeting about a rape allegation against him from 2003, just hours after his death in a helicopter crash Sunday.

Disney - whose grandfather Roy O. Disney co-founded The Walt Disney Company - tweeted: 'I haven't said anything about Kobe so far because I felt some time needed to pass before weighing in. But yes, it's time for the sledgehammer to come out. The man was a rapist. Deal with it.'

Yes, he was. He admitted as much.

The first sentence is your opinion, you weren't there and have no facts to prove it.

Bryant NEVER admitted he raped her, he said it was consensual but she claimed rape.

She 'SETTLED FOR CASH'.

Women that get paid after getting screwed have a name.

Those who think Kobe raped her, probably think the Duke kids did it, and Kavanaugh too.

Not me. Entirely different circumstances. The Duke situation and the Kavanaugh scenario were both in semi-public settings where there were others who could have corroborated the facts (in Kavanaugh's case there wasn't any facts because the witness could not even recall dates or locations).

What happened with Bryant and his accuser was solely between them and the forensic evidence which points in both directions. There were no possible eyewitnesses.

Hang tough. I’ve been personally attacked and called vile names here for talking more mildly about this POS “legend” than you have.

You didn’t post a theory. You posted it as fact, but you knew there was never any such accusation.

I think you’re a liar. That’s what I think. And if it doesn’t matter then you wouldn’t lie about it so many times.

I got to think about what you posted. It occurred to me that “Hands up, don’t shoot” was reported in “accounts at the time.” Should we post that too the next time a story about a police shooting comes up?

She delivered her body to an NBA star in his hotel room the way we get pizza delivered. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. He was never convicted of a crime and she got a pay off for the rough sex she invited. If anybody got a raw deal here it was Bryant.

Here are the facts of life. When you divide the nation into whites, blacks, white Hispanics and Other, blacks commit either a plurality or the majority of crime in the country. This isn’t just restricted to violent crime. Blacks are also the biggest (although not necessarily the majority) non-violent offenders as well. In the case of rape, blacks again punch above their weight. Then you add on the athlete factor. It’s not a big stretch to infer that when someone like Bryant, wealthy and armed with his black privilege card is the liar and rapist in a one-time encounter with a pretty white girl who had never met him before.

Let’s say the defense claim that she consented at the beginning is true. Then he grabs her by the throat and rapes her. The defense claims the fact that she had sex with someone else later is proof that he didn’t rape her.

The analogy is to someone who invites you over for a luxe dinner. He force feeds you a bowl of generic matter from his septic tank instead. Then he suggests that you consented to dining on the scum from his cesspit. Why? Because you went out the next day and had a proper meal to wash the taste of that muck out of your mouth.

The defense argument is complete crap even if she consented at the beginning and it’s not clear that she did consent. What’s equally likely is that she was fooled by the pleasant facade put on by black athletes to make them more endorsement-friendly than the murky reality beneath, and trusted him to behave like a typical white guy, athlete or not, and refrain from raping her when she objected. She was wrong.

The fact that the prosecutor wanted to go after Bryant, in the face of black privilege, potential accusations of racism against him and Bryant’s OJ-scale defense team funded with tens of millions of dollars suggests that he thought the case was strong enough for him to avoid being humiliated the way Marcia Clark was. Kobe Bryant escaped because the psychologically fragile victim (veteran of 1 suicide attempt) couldn’t go through the stress of getting raked over the coals and threatened with physical harm by NBA fans like you nationwide.

Kobe Bryant was accused, arrested, and the charges were dropped.
He admitted to consentual sex; it was a grave sin. It seems more precise to label him an adulterer and her a fornicator, and an accused rapist given the case was never even prosecuted, let alone proven. It seems Ben Roethlisberger has a couple of accusations but no charges. Will you call Ben a "rapist"?

Legally, it seems Bryant's adultery was consensual until it began to hurt the young woman who said she told him to stop in the heat of the sinful tryst. Do you agree that any time a woman says "stop" after consent, even if a wife, and the man continues, he is a "rapist"?

Didn’t read your post because the only thing I’m interested in was why you repeated lies. Was vaginal rape not good enough for you?

These weren’t lies. They were what was being discussed at the time of the incident. These allegations are still being mentioned today. Just because you consider them false doesn’t mean they are. You obviously really trust this guy. I don’t.

Whatever the media did, does not negate the DNA evidence.

Oh, so now it’s clear why you’re so convinced the man is guilty.

You think his “race” means he’s guilty. Wow.

That is almost certainly what happened. She withdrew consent mid sex act. Being a young celebrity who had endless groupies he was not able to control himself at that point.

I think an important point here is there are no serial allegations against Bryant. From all accounts he made a mistake and learned from it. I was never a Lakers or “Kobe” fan but I’m not going to judge him based on that one incident.

Keep swooning on your fainting couch over your beloved Kobe.

You’re irrational. At best.

Why do you idolize this guy so much? You get hyper emotional about it.

His race is one of a panoply of characteristics of this case that suggest Bryant is guilty. In a situation where a nationally-idolized black man worshiped in lieu of God by people like you is accused of raping a white woman, and the white woman stands to be raked over the coals as a whore who had it coming and become the subject of death threats from fans of the athlete, the likelihood is that she isn’t making it up. Your suggestion that she was lying about being raped because women are lying sluts doesn’t exactly cover you with glory.

“The case was dropped but there was a settlement. So who knows if it was rape, buyer’s remorse or simple gold digging.”

Yeah, she was probably a nut and a slut! /s
