LA MEDIA CRUCIFYING RAPED WOMAN--MEGA MILLIONAIRE SUPERSTAR IS VICTIM

KOBE BRYANT the target of vicious 19 year old gold digger

Kobe has about $20 million in cash to throw around but he can buy the LA media for a smile. LA woman hater Tom Leycis blew the lady's anonymity yesterday on his quasi-nationally syndicated (60 outlets) radio show. You can bet the house that Kobe Bryant's money (at least $20 million in cash) is fueling the Internet and press trashing of this young woman. His mega millions are nourishing an army of private detectives seeking to damage her beyond endurance.

It isn't hard for us men to understand. Suppose any of us were dragged into a room by an NFL draft pick type who outweighed us by 200 pounds and had 3% body fat. Think Ray Lewis (not convicted of murder) or the scary Dennis Rodman (arrest record longer than his NBA career). A guy that size could twist us up like a pretzel, pin our arms up to our shoulder, and do it. What would any of us do if that happened? Tell all our pals? Drive right to the office and tell our co-workers? Maybe tell one of our parents? Run downstairs and yell, "Call the police I just got fucked in the ass,"? I doubt it is something anyone would do in a hotel lobby. It would be one hell of a situation.

When we are young we think we are bullet proof. That's the purpose of young. "Don't tell me why I can't do it," is the mantra. Nothing would ever get done if young people listened to the advice from adults who couldn't do it. All 19 year olds are stupid in certain situations. The woman may have been stupid, it certainly looks like it, but being stupid shouldn't mean you get raped by a professional athlete who is huge.

I am astonished at the lack of support from the rape victims advocates. The Enquirer has offered a Vail Teen $12,500 to trash the victim, Jameika Williams, Bryant's ex-girlfriend, magically appears on Larry King Live to, what else?, praise Mr. Bryant (how much money there???), every show depicts the woman as a gold digger, explains the machinations of "that kind of woman who preys on vulnerable millionaire athletes", how poor Mr. Kobe Bryant is an innocent target of vicious blondes with upper torso endowments out to cash in, and so on.

Just keep your eyes open. Ask yourself if even ONE so-called reporter asks one of these "friends of the victim" with a trash story for any kind of a sign of being flushed out by Kobe's army of dicks, being paid in some manner, and cross examining them. It won't happen. The media is in the tank.

As a final observation, since the NBA will be the big loser do not discount the fact that they will use their sports coverage to pressure all sports writers to cover this story "fairly" and maybe slant it. The NBA is on the ropes financially and they need Kobe Bryant. Their ratings are in the toilet in every city, for every game, for the playoffs, and for the championship. This is big money about to lose big money, and these kinds of people will do ANYTHING to avoid losing money.
