Hours after his sexual encounter with a hotel employee in Colorado, Kobe Bryant told investigators that Shaquille O'Neal, his Laker teammate at the time, had paid up to $1 million to women to keep them quiet about "situations like this," according to a police report.

but Det. Doug Winters wrote that the reference to O'Neal came after his partner, Det. Dan Loya, had turned off the recorder.

Winters and Hurlbert are PROVEN liars; why should we believe this?

He stated he, Bryant, treats a woman with respect, therefore they shouldn't say anything

Really...wonder what his wife thinks of that

Oh, lord. I did not notice the author, Jeff Benedict!

He has been pushing this story and PROVEN wrong for MONTHS.

According to sources involved in the investigation, the authorities wanted to ask O'Neal about a party he held at his Orlando, Fla., mansion on Thanksgiving 2002, when a 22-year-old waitress working at the gathering claimed Bryant had groped her

It was a party; he felt her up in front of about 10 people. She was flirting with him, asked for an autograph, hugged him, he put his hand on her breast, she pulled away and he moved away from her. She never CLAIMED anything; she never reported anything. Big damn deal.

Well, this might explain the riff between Shaq and Kobe over the last few years.

Next to Bryant and O'Neal, Pete Rose looks like a saint.
