I was waiting for this. My question is why do they have containers of dog and price tags lying around their house?
Former housekeeper sues Kobe Bryant, his wife
Kobe Bryant’s former housekeeper is suing the NBA star and his wife, contending she was “harassed and humiliated,” denied health insurance and forced to quit because of “intolerable” working conditions.
In one instance, Maria Jimenez says Bryant’s wife ordered her to put her hand in a container of dog waste to retrieve the price tag of a blouse.
Jimenez filed suit Friday in Orange County Superior Court. She says in court papers that Vanessa Bryant “badgered, harassed and humiliated” her in front of Bryant, the couple’s children and others. She said the couple failed to provide health coverage, as promised when she was hired. She said she didn’t learn she didn’t have it until she became ill and sought medical attention.
The action seeks unspecified general, punitive and special damages, as well as back pay and overtime Jimenez says she is owed. The lawsuit was first reported by tmz.com.
Rob Pelinka, agent for the Los Angeles Lakers star, did not immediately return a call.
Jimenez wasn’t fired but her lawyer said she was wrongly discharged because Bryant’s wife made it impossible for her to continue working at the couple’s Orange County home.
“She quit but because the working conditions were intolerable,” attorney William Vogeler said Wednesday. “We allege it was a violation of labor laws that protect people from working in unhealthy situations.”
In court papers, Jimenez says she went to work for the Bryants in September 2007 and left in March 2008. Almost immediately upon starting work, “Vanessa began a continuing pattern of verbally abusing and demeaning her.” Jimenez said she was called lazy, slow, dumb, a liar and was cursed and screamed at.
After Jimenez told Kobe Bryant she wanted to quit he talked her out of it and elicited an apology from his wife, court papers said. But then, she said, the abuse began again.
According to the papers, Vanessa Bryant screamed at Jimenez for putting an expensive blouse in the Bryants’ clothes washer. “Then Vanessa demanded that Maria put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for the blouse.”
Although she gave notice, Jimenez said, Vanessa Bryant demanded that she work until her next pay day to cover the $690 cost of the blouse. Jimenez said she did.

Oh snap!
Wow is that what Kobe has to put up with day in and day out?
To coin a phrase, "The most dangerous creature known to man is a beautiful woman".
an illegal comes to the states and wants free health care?
rgr
I hear Kobe's wife is one crazy .
Don't worry, Laker fans, I will help you come up with replies.
This housekeeper has a history of putting her hand in dog feces. They found feces from 12 dogs under her finger nails.
Might as well do the mandatory one too....
"Kobe is a Rapist"
I know you really don't like anything I say but.......that's a very good point.
We'll see how true any of this is, Kobe and his wife are innocent until proven guilty.
No wonder kobe cheated on her wife.
The lawsuit is more towards that then kobe so
this shouldn't affect him.
My guess is there's a low chance of a settlement.
That or nothing.
That's what I was gonna say.....cheating on your wife is a lot better when your wife is a crazy high maintenance .
It must suck for Kobe to deal with that high maintenance off the court and this high maintenance on the court:
Where does it say she was an illegal? Did I miss that?
That is hilarious-vuja !That's what I was gonna say.....cheating on your wife is a lot better when your wife is a crazy high maintenance .
It must suck for Kobe to deal with that high maintenance off the court and this high maintenance on the court:
I think the container was later called a "bag" so it was probably just a dog poop bag in the trash. Assuming that, the price tag was probably thrown out as well together in a trash container with the bag of dog poop.
Don't see anything bad said about Kobe. Like a few have mentioned already, just seems like Vanessa is a crazy ass .
The housekeeper probably is an illegal, which would make filing a lawsuit strange.
It doesn't. But, while it's probably not right to assume that, it's probably true.
What a ty timing
She couldn't do that just before the 2009 WCF ?
borrrr-ing
Yeah, her scheister lawyers dropped the ball on that oneWhat a ty timing
She couldn't do that just before the 2009 WCF ?
I don't believe this .
even if it is true...who cares? this is about as relevant as people's obsession with Octo-
Gold-digging , plain and simple. looking to cash in. she should be just be greatful for the chance to work in the home of the great kobe bryant.
Kobe should have stayed with the blonde honkie in Colorado ....
but then he'd have to share her with the other 8 dudes she was ing at the time
I don't get why NBA players get married. If I ever had the chance to bang just about any women I wanted, I'd never get married. Maybe once I retired and got tired of the lifestyle.
true that son .... it blows my mind why these multi-millionaire athletes waste their time getting married to begin with. enjoy your success and money with a new bad broad every week/month .... then when your career is over you can worry about the headache of a marriage if you want it. most of these women aren't with pro athletes for the "Right" reasons anyways
