how much more temptation a celebrity faces compared to average folks.
= = =

Maybe a different kind of temptation, one that seems greater to the average folk,

but

I believe everyone faces equal strength temptation, probably custom tuned just for them.

____________________________________________

So true, Scrambler Bob -

There is no Temptation, no one, that cannot be passed with the focus on the Lord God.

Sadly, many of us take our eyes or heart (?) of Him and in that one second, how evil/temptation can drag us into a Sinful act.

This covers each particular Sin that seems to affect some families and not others. Yet, we are all afflicted with temptation and it’s only in different degrees by which we are seemingly dragged into doing what we know we ought not to do.

His youngest daughter is only 7 months old.

Think of all the athletes/musicians/celebrities who have died young on their private planes and helicopters! Sad.

And now the news is reporting that his 13yo daughter was on the helicopter with him. And some are saying another father and daughter also were on the flight. If true... horrible news!

All five lives were tragically lost, but the Fake News only talks about Kobe and his daughter.

How would you like to be the families of the forgotten three people who were killed, sad.

If it was my family member I would be thankful that their names were not part of the circus that this may/will become.

Sad news, not because he was a famous athlete, but because he was a family man with young children.

Was that before or after he violently raped a 19 year old girl in that Colorado hotel?

2003: When a DNA test proved Kobe was lying about not having sex with a groupie/slut, he finally admitted to having “consensual” sex with her.

He was 24 years old at the time. It seems that eventually he turned that part of his life around for the better. I hope so.

If you are referring to the case, I would do a little more homework on that one.

I think the article was about redemption and maybe even forgiveness.

So I did some digging: https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2004-jul-24-sp-bryant24-story.html

This would have been really problematic for the accuser in front of a jury.

Yes, there were other problems with the criminal case, too. That’s why it was dismissed.

Whatever one might think of this man, let’s remember that his firstborn child also died with him, and so did their companions (not named yet). Nine people altogether.

You need to read more about that case, your comment reflects the initial charge only.
