Do ya'll think Kobe could have survived his rape case in today's climate?

[Pit Bull]

NOPE

And they might just bring that bytch back around on him too

 

[Astroslik]

He’d be out the league

Derrick Rose's case happend before #MeToo movement though. Are y'all confident the same would happen in 2018?

It happened to a black woman so people don’t care as much

 

[WesCrook]

True that...but Shaq was already a part-time cop by that point, not sure if the snitching rules apply in this circumstance.

Then Shaq got let go from the Sheriff's office for using the N-word during his rap diss about......You guessed it.

KOBE

 

[XannyWarbucks]

He was still called a rapist for the following years. It wasn't until he started the rebrand "Black Mamba," and everything that followed it (the car jump) that people started to flip the switch on him. It sucks for him because he was at his peak during those years.

Are you serious?? rofl

It kinda fell under the radar, but that's is how it went down. Cops can't go around using the N-word all willy nilly......cac or black.

It was a little different because Shaq was some kind of volunteer Paul Blart motherfukker but I don't think many white cops have been let go for using the n word.

Why The fukk Isn't Kobe Bryant A Pariah Yet?

Deadspin is trying lol. I doubt it has legs but some outlets and people do try to get Kobe Cosby'd and Weinstein'd.

 

[Lakerman0834]

lol I can only imagine the anger of SJW when the defense brought up her having semen from 4 other men in her underwear

 

[Houston911]

Pawg, brehs

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Do y'all think Kobe could have survived getting out of the first round without another star?

now this is the better question.

and the answer is NOPE.

 

[Lakerman0834]

People didn't care about the charges then and they wouldn't now. This is the kind of shyt people show fake outrage about when they already don't like a person. When the player or actor is well liked, the accuser is the one put on trial. Don't be naive.

I don't remember anything about the racist claims but I know that she pulled the plug right before it went to trial and a few people had already been arrested for plots to kill her at that point. The accusations of her being with multiple men had been there since the beginning and prosecutors still wanted to go through with the case. Other than being embarrassing for the accuser, it really didn't do anything to weaken the case.

What? I don't remember any story about her claiming to be . The only racism angle I remember was from the defense saying that black men get targeted with accusations like this.

It would have been stupid if she used that claim when she already admitted she was about Kobe in her police interview and also admitted that much of what happened was consensual.
