Kobe Bryant's cheating led to divorce filing: report
By Daniel Frankel | Reuters – 17 hrs ago

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - Tiger Woods, you're finally off the hook.

TMZ reported on Sunday morning that Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant cheated multiple times with multiple partners on his wife of more than a decade -- events that led to Vanessa Bryant's surprise divorce filing in an Orange County, Calif., court Friday.

Of course, if this is true, Bryant -- whose public approval rating has vacillated wildly over the years from boy wonder to unlikable cad to uber-determined workaholic -- will likely go back into the media doghouse as the latest celebrity athlete to succumb to carnal temptation.

And this story will be around for weeks, if not months.

According to TMZ, Vanessa Bryant knew that her husband had been involved with "multiple women" over the years, but a recent affair pushed her over the edge.

“Vanessa Bryant knew that her husband had been involved with “multiple women” over the years, but a recent affair pushed her over the edge.”

YAWN.

Vanessa would have had sympathy ~10 years ago when we all heard about the “first” affair.

She knew who she was marrying, and she got compensated very nicely.

....I don't see what her complaint is all about. He's in the NBA, so he has to fool around with women...it's the rule. And really he's the most faithful of all the NBA players when you get right down to it since he does not have any illegitimate children....we're aware of.../s

Let me get this straight. It is okay with the wife if Kobe rapes women, but if he has consensual sex, that is unacceptable?

The news said the ring was a “gift” and therefore she gets to keep it free and clear.

They had no pre-nup. She gets half of what he made during the last 10.5 years ... his most productive.

I don’t think she gets half of what they made. They have spent some of that money and it’s gone. Most likely she will get half the assets (or a settlement), spousal support, and child support based upon his current and future income.

Still a good chunk of change considering the work/pay ratio.

The ring alone would keep her very well ...

Both knew what they were getting into. She never came off as a gold digger.

I think it's a sex/pay ratio.

Think about how much money it's gonna cost kobe on a piece/work basis.
