Nearly 5 years after the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant in a helicopter crash, fake news about his family loss is shooting up on Facebook and other social sites.
Most posts about this are click baits that direct you to click on certain links and give you unrelated news.
However, back on July 15, 2024, Kobe’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, a basketball passionate like Kobe, passed away due to a stroke.
But, if you look at the posts, you will find that they are not referring to that but are putting forward clickbait posts.
On top of that, they have come up with new theories and statements that might torture already tormented Kobe fans.
Like a post mentioned how Kobe’s sister has come up with new theories about his demise.
Like seriously, let him rest in peace.
Kobe’s wife, Vanessa Bryant, has been honoring his legacy after the passing away of her husband and daughter
Leaving behind a staggering net worth of $600 million at the time of his passing, Kobe’s family would not have any financial hurdles.
If Vanessa’s net worth is added to the mix, the wealth will blow up considerably.
Apart from that, the family was supposed to be doing well until the recent news of Jellybean Bryant’s passing.
However, thanks to Vanessa’s support system consisting of different celebrities, they have had considerable support during the emotional times.
In these 5 years, Vanessa also has established charities like Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation, which focuses on youth sports.
After the fateful demise of Kobe and their daughter ‘Gigi,’ Vanessa has been quietly rebuilding the lives of her and her family.
She quotes,
“Lying in bed crying isn’t going to change the fact that my family will never be the same again. But getting out of bed and pushing forward is going to make the day better for my girls and for me. So that’s what I do.“
She further adds how Kobe and Gianna are fueling her motivation and pushing her to move forward.
Furthermore, she needs to pull herself together for her three daughters, Natalia, Bianka, and Capri.
Vanessa is striving and moving forward in life; as she mentioned, “I want to make Kobe, Gigi, Natalia, Bianka and Capri proud.“
