“When u give Give GIVE and they take Take TAKE at wat point do u draw a line in the sand?” Kobe tweeted, according to the
Los Angeles Times, with the hashtags “hurt beyond measure,” “gave me no warning,” and finally, “love?”
The tweet was in response to his parents attempting to sell several beloved pieces of
memorabilia from Kobe’s career, including the aforementioned championship ring and his
high school jerseys. This prompted a lawsuit, the
New York Postreported, because Kobe reportedly wasn’t notified about the auction and didn’t give his permission to sell any of the items in question.
“We regret our actions and statements related to the Kobe Bryant auction memorabilia,” said Joe and Pamela in a statement at the time, per
ESPN. “We apologize for any misunderstanding and unintended pain we have caused our son and appreciate the financial support he has provided over the years.”
This did put a further strain on Kobe’s relationship with his parents, as they did not attend his final NBA game back in April 2016.
“Our relationship is sh*t,” he explained to
ESPN. “I say, ‘I’m going to buy you a very nice home,’ and the response is, ‘That’s not good enough?’ Then you’re selling my s**t?”
Neither Vanessa nor Joe or Pamela have publicly spoken about this current auction, which will be live until March 30, via
Goldin.

So from kobe own mouth his relationship with his parents was done….
So at this point vanessa has no reason to speak with them, if kobe didn’t end shyt on a good note
