Kobe Bryant's Housekeeper Sues Over Crappy Work Conditions
Kobe Bryant's former housekeeper is suing him and his wife over what she claims were really crappy work conditions.
Kobe Bryant's former housekeeper is suing him and his wife over what she claims were really crappy work conditions.
In a suit filed in Orange County Superior Court in Calif., Maria Jimenez — who worked for the NBA star and his wife, Vanessa from September 2007 to March 2008 — alleges that she was forced to quit because of "intolerable" conditions. Almost immediately upon starting work, the complaint alleges that "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 in front of Kobe, the couple's children — Natalia, 6, and Gianna, 2, and others.
In one of the most shocking claims, Jimenez says that Vanessa screamed at her following an incident in which Jimenez accidentally washed an expensive blouse. "Vanessa demanded that Maria put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for the blouse," the complaint alleges. Fed up, Jimenez says she quit but Vanessa demanded that she work until her next pay day to cover the $690 cost of the blouse.
Jimenez paints Kobe in a more sympathetic light, saying he once talked her out of quitting and made Vanessa apologize to her, but the abuse began again.
The couple also failed to provide health insurance, as promised when she was hired, Jimenez alleges. She said she didn't learn she didn't have coverage until she became ill and sought medical attention.
The action seeks unspecified damages, as well as back pay and overtime Jimenez says she is owed.
Did the Kobmes finally settle out of court?
Judge: Maid's suit against Kobe Bryant can proceed
A judge in California has ruled that Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant's former housekeeper can continue her wrongful discharge case but can't sue for emotional distress.

SANTA ANA, Calif. —
A judge in California has ruled that Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant's former housekeeper can continue her wrongful discharge case but can't sue for emotional distress.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Kirk Nakamura also ruled Thursday that Bryant and his wife Vanessa can pursue their countersuit against Maria Jimenez for violating a confidentiality agreement by talking to reporters about the family.
The judge says Jimenez cannot sue for invasion of privacy because she knew about the video cameras in the Bryants' house. Her attorney, William Vogeler, says the ruling is still a victory for his client because the case can go forward.
Jimenez says she was denied health insurance and was forced to quit because her employers demeaned and humiliated her.
Was funnier the first time.
How can you file for wrongful discharge when you quit? Plus, California is an at-will state anyway.

How much you want to bet they have video of the housekeeper not doing her job?
Rofl I actually agree. Just some dumb lazy trying to take advantage of them.
Illegals come to america and wanted to be treated equally?
Another form of wrongful termination is called a “constructive wrongful termination.” This occurs when the employee quits because the conditions are so intolerable that left they have been left with no option other than to quit. The law states that if conditions or treatment are so severe that a reasonable person could not consider continuing to work in the environment any further, then a person may quit. However, in these situations employees are expected to use any available reporting mechanism to attempt to resolve their employment issues before quitting. If an employee has complained of the intolerable environment and nothing changes, or it gets even worse, an employee may quit and seek damages as compensation for their lost wages. In sum, the law recognizes both “economic” and “non economic” damages. A well-pled complaint will cover both forms of damages and focus the jury’s attention on specific damages items such as past, present and future anticipated losses.
Not sure the Kobmes want video leaking out of Kobes getting his burqua and mascara arranged for one of his parties.
1 star thread, wish I never even read once
This site has many annoying posters, but you are probably the only one I would do physical harm to if I ever met you face to face. People should be given the death penalty for being as dumb as you.
why did hobbler post that pic without the original phrase you gay? probably an insecure racist that left it off on purpose, tbh.

Terms of employment included a salary of $50,000 a year and medical insurance for herself and her family, according to Jimenez. But when she needed surgery for an ovarian cyst, she found out she had no medical coverage, and her bills came to more than $120,000, according to her court papers.
Well, at least he's given up on the Simpson's shtick![]()
