Vannessa Bryant fires back after her mother filed a $5M lawsuit against her

Vanessa bryant fires

Since the death of NBA legend, Kobe Bryant, there has been a major strain in the relationship between his widow, Vanessa, and her mother, Sofia Laine.

Vanessa bryant fires

The deceased’s widow recently fired back at her mother after the older woman filed a lawsuit against her.

68-year-old Sofia sued her daughter to the tune of $5M, claiming that the late basketballer promised to take care of her for the rest of her life but after he died in the helicopter crash in January, Vanessa failed to honor his vow.

In the lawsuit, she claims that she was never paid by Vanessa and her late husband for her services as a “personal assistant and nanny to their four children.”

She also claims Vanessa ordered her to move out of the home Kobe had allowed her to live in while he was alive.

Vanessa Bryant fires

However, Vanessa responding to the ‘hurtful’ lawsuit said her mother’s intent is to “extort a financial windfall from our family”, stating that her mother’s claims are false.

She added: “I have supported her for nearly 20 years, and was never my or Kobe’s personal assistant, nor was she a nanny.

“I have always been a stay at home mother and my husband and I were my daughter’s full-time care givers.”

Vanessa continues, “She now wants to back charge me $96 per hour for supposedly working 12 hours a day for 18 years for watching her grandchildren. In reality, she only occasionally babysat my older girls when they were toddlers.”

“As of ten years ago, our kids were full time students and athletes and I didn’t have another child until 2016.”

Speaking further in a statement released on her Instagram Stories, the 38-year-old wrote,

“Earlier this year, I was looking for a new home for her and, a week later, she went on television and gave an interview disparaging our family and making false accusations while living rent-free in a gated apartment complex in Newport Coast.

Even after that betrayal, I was willing to provide my mother with monthly support for the rest of her life and that wasn’t good enough. She, instead, contacted me through intermediaries (contrary to what she claims, my phone number hasn’t changed) and demanded $5 million, a house, and a Mercedes SUV. Because I did not give in to her hurtful threats and monetary requests, she has spiraled out of control and is making false and absurd claims.”

“Nigeria has entered the second wave of COVID-19” – Presidency

Nigeria second wave

The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 has disclosed that Nigeria has entered a second wave of coronavirus infections.

The PTF official and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, disclosed that the number of COVID-19 cases detected in the country in the past two weeks indicates that a second wave of the outbreak has begun.

The country has witnessed a spike in cases in recent times, with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) reporting over a thousand cases today, December 18.

Represented by the Minister of Aviation, Sen. Hadi Sirika, Mustapha said;

“The events and statistics of the last two weeks, within and outside Nigeria, have been very mixed. On the one hand, the cheering news of the COVID-19 vaccine, while on the other hand, we have witnessed spikes in the number of infections at home and abroad.

The real threat is upon humanity and the progress made in the global health sector in the last five decades or more.

In Nigeria, the indication is that we have entered the second wave of infections and we stand the risk of not just losing the gains from the hard work of the last nine months but also losing the precious lives of our citizens.

The PTF believes that if we do the right things, adhere to the NPIs, and step up our testing and detection, loss of lives will be minimized and the rising curve will begin to flatten. We are in a potentially difficult phase of the COVID-19 resurgence; accessing the hope offered by the arrival of the vaccine is still some time ahead.

“The past few days have been some of the toughest of my life” – Omah Lay finally speaks after arriving Nigeria

Nigerian singer, Omah Lay has shared his sad experience in Uganda and how he was arrested and treated like a common thief.

He explained to his Ugandan fans that he never intended to put them in harms way, and whatever action he took while in Uganda, was in the presence of the Ugandan Police.

He showed appreciation to his mom, fans and celebrities for showing him love during his arrest and making sure that he returns safely.

In his words;

“The past few days have been some of the toughest of my life that I wouldn’t wish them on anyone. Out in a new country with some beautiful people, the next thing I’m being treated like a common thief.

First off I want to thank all the amazing fans that came out to see me in Uganda, the smiles on your happy faces that evening would be one of my happiest memories. Also I wanna clarify that putting you in harms way was never my intentions!

Before we came out to Uganda, the show promoters confirmed and proved to us they’d secured all the clearances which of course included Covid 19 compliance….At that point, my sole obligation became to make myself available to be taken to the venue and entertain, which I did in the full glance and protection of the Ugandan police.

Secondly, to my mom, my family, my team, my fans, friends that I caused sleepless nights waiting and praying for me, I apologize for putting you through all that;…on the other hand I can’t thank you enough, I damned near lost my mind but your prayers and messages kept me going! Thank you so much!

Finally, big THANK YOU to everyone for your efforts, prayers, messages, tweets (Damn! Y’all went hard!).Big shout out to the musicians, the celebrities, fans (Again and again🙏🏾), my family, my friends, my Label, The Nigerian Mission in Uganda, The Presidency, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Madam Abike. Thank you all so much!I have put this behind me and back to what I know how to do best. One Africa ✊🏿Omah is home! 🤘🏾 Love,Omah 💜”.
