Kobe Bryant’s Mom Shades Vanessa Over New Relationship | Vanessa Is Disrespecting Kobe
The Bryant family drama just exploded — and this time, it’s coming straight from Kobe’s own mother. In a move that’s got the internet buzzing, Pamela Bryant has reportedly thrown some serious shade at Vanessa Bryant over her rumored new relationship, suggesting that Kobe’s widow is “disrespecting” his legacy.
While Pamela hasn’t spoken directly to the media, sources close to the family claim she’s been making her feelings crystal clear to friends — and those comments are now leaking out.
“She’s not happy, not one bit,” one insider revealed. “Pamela feels like Vanessa is moving on too publicly and too soon. She thinks Kobe deserves better than to have his widow parading around with a new man while the world is still mourning him.”
The rumors about Vanessa’s new romance have been swirling for weeks, fueled by paparazzi photos and whispers from people close to the Bryant circle. But the situation took a turn when Pamela allegedly made a pointed comment at a recent family gathering:
“Some people forget who built the name they’re living off of,” she reportedly said, without naming Vanessa directly.
Fans immediately interpreted the jab as a shot at Vanessa — and social media lit up. Some are siding with Pamela, accusing Vanessa of tarnishing Kobe’s memory, while others are slamming Pamela for interfering in her daughter-in-law’s personal life.
This isn’t the first time tensions have flared between Vanessa and Kobe’s parents. Their relationship has been rocky for years, with disagreements over family dynamics, finances, and Kobe’s estate. Now, Pamela’s alleged shade has reopened old wounds, setting off another round of public speculation and private resentment.
Vanessa, for her part, has remained silent, refusing to confirm or deny the romance rumors. But insiders say the criticism from Pamela “cuts deep,” especially since Kobe often played peacemaker between the two women.
With Kobe gone, there’s no one left to bridge the gap — and the divide between Vanessa and his family seems wider than ever.
As one fan put it on Twitter: “Kobe’s mom vs. Kobe’s wife is about to be the biggest celebrity feud of the year. And it’s only just beginning.”
