'Kobe stopped hurting women, so can you,' says the Harvey Weinstein accuser to Snoop Dogg (via toofab)
Attached to McGowan's tweet was a copy of the written apology the former Laker issued the then-19-year-old hotel employee who accused him of assaulting her in 2003. Though he settled with her out of court, Bryant did acknowledge the woman "feels that she did not consent to this encounter."
The responses to McGowan's message have been mixed: Some are surprised she'd defend a man who had been accused of rape; others are in favor of the way she's chosen to view him in light of the public apology.During the interview in question, King said to Leslie, "It's been said that [Kobe's] legacy is complicated because of a sexual assault charge that was dismissed in 2003, 2004.
"It's not complicated for me at all," Leslie replied. "I just never see -- have ever seen him being the kind of person that would be -- do something to violate a woman or be aggressive in that way. That's just not the person that I know.""And that's possible," Leslie replied. "I just don't believe that." She added that the media "should be more respectful at this time.
He asked rhetorically if he looked like someone who would want to harm a 70-year-old woman. King is 65. "I was raised way better than that," he said. "I don't want no harm to come to her. I didn't threaten her. All I did was [say], check it out: You out of pocket for what you doing, and we watchin' you. Have a little bit more respect for Vanessa, her babies and Kobe Bryant's legacy."
