Vanessa Bryant finally wins the BodyArmor lawsuit against Kobe Inc.'s President Molly Carter.
Because of this, she was awarded over $1.5 million. But, her victory against Carter is not just about money. It is also about protecting the dignity of her late husband's image.
It all started when Coca-Cola acquired BodyArmor for a whopping $5.6 billion. Since the legendary player invested $6 million in 2013, the acquisition further increased his investment's value, netting him $400 million.
However, Carter claimed that Kobe promised her 2% of his cut.
For Kobe: Vanessa Bryant Wins BodyArmor Lawsuit
According to TMZ's latest report, the Kobe Inc. president claimed in 2019, six months before the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, that the NBA player promised her 2% of his BodyArmor investment.
Because of this, Molly decided to sue Kobe. To protect her late husband, Vanessa also filed a countersuit against Carter. In her legal action, she claimed that Molly violated the duty of loyalty and the non-disparagement clause in her employment contract with Kobe Inc.
She added that Carter did this after she trask-talked Kobe and his family. In the process of winning against Molly, Vanessa exposes her awful attitude toward the Bryant family.
Kobe's wife said that Carter called her late husband "d*ck wad," "do*che nugget," and "a**hole." Aside from this, Vanessa also shared how Molly calls her names, such as "b*tch," "psycho," and "f**king devil."
Thanks to her braveness and efforts, Vanessa was able to prevail in both the lawsuit and her counterclaim.
Vanessa Bryant Settles Another $28 Million
Aside from winning the $1.5 million lawsuit against Carter, Vanessa also settled her remaining claims against the County of Los Angeles.
Inquirer.Net reported that she collected over $28 million from the county over the sharing of graphic photos of Kobe and her daughter Gianna.
"She fought for her husband, her daughter, and all those in the community whose deceased family were treated with similar disrespect," said Luis Li, Vanessa's attorney.
"We hope her victory at trial and this settlement will put an end to this practice," he added.
