ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith—who is never afraid to “tell the truth” about anyone—dropped a time bomb between Hollywood and the sports world today, and the target was none other than Vanessa Bryant!
In a heated “First Take” segment, Stephen A. expressed frustration and even outrage when questioning the financial management of the widow of legendary Kobe Bryant, who reportedly left behind a net worth of nearly $600 million.
Stephen A: “That’s an extraordinary waste of wealth!”
With a high-pitched voice and intense hand gestures, Smith did not hesitate to criticize harshly. He not only implied but outright stated that Vanessa was “spending without control” and could be “on the verge of bankruptcy” if she did not change her spending strategy immediately!
“Listen, I love Kobe Bryant! He’s a brother, a king, an icon! He worked his ass off for two decades to build that empire! $600 MILLION! And now, from what I hear, from what we’re seeing, she’s inexplicably spent a significant portion of that money! What am I talking about? I’m talking about an extraordinary waste of wealth!” Stephen A. roared.
Stephen A.’s allegations are based on insider rumors circulating in Hollywood about lavish personal spending, risky investments after Kobe’s death, and expensive legal battles.
WHAT IS THE TRUTH HIDING ABOUT BODYARMOR’S ASSETS?
Stephen A. Smith continues to take aim at Kobe’s sale of his stake in the sports drink company BodyArmor—a deal that has brought in hundreds of millions of dollars for Kobe’s legacy.
“People think she’s safe from the BodyArmor deal! No! Cash is only cash if you know how to hold it! You have to invest, you have to manage, you have to respect the work of the deceased! If she can’t keep the $600 million that a legend made, then something is VERY WRONG! And someone has to say it!”
The statements immediately created a storm on social media. NBA fans expressed shock and disappointment, while others accused Stephen A. Smith of crossing the line of respect, cruelly invading the privacy of a widow who has suffered so much loss.
