We’ve been waiting all these years for Vanessa Bryant to breakout into the public eye, perhaps now she has her chance?
Egypt Sherrod reports this week that “sources are buzzing that Bravo TV producers are trying to add NBA superstar Kobe Bryant’s wife Vanessa Bryant to the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County.”
(Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s daughter Natalie - future reality star?)
Sherrod also notes:
This past season they added grammy award winning singer songwriter Kandi Burress to the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” and ratings soared. Producers have recognized the value of adding high profile, celebrity types to the cast and Vanessa Bryant is a top contender for the Orange County edition.
Vanessa first met Bryant when she was in high school, and has been the (public) picture of a model wife ever since. We all remember her propping up her husband during that somewhat pathetic press conference to announce his infidelity.
That sort of devotion directly contradicts diving into the cesspool of reality television.
Based on our public perception of Kobe and Vanessa, a seemingly happy couple with two young children in the public eye, you would think a reality show would be the absolute last thing a devoted wife and mother would want. But as we’ve found out so many times in the past, you never really know celebrities and their spouses the way you think you do.
There’s been plenty of (unconfirmed) rumors of Vanessa’s aggressive, manipulative behavior, so I can’t say I’d be surprised at anything she does. This may well be her jump-off into introducing her true personality to the public. To this point she’s come off as a relatively low-key, solid woman, and for all I know she is, but if she ends up revealed as Cruella Deville thanks a production like this, I can’t imagine it will help Kobe’s kids, marriage and career.

I might add that personally, I would love to see Vanessa on the show, for all the same reasons most of you are thinking.

I’d bet she dumps him once her career takes off.

According to some Laker’s beat reporters, the woman is a raving lunatic…

I still look at her and can’t believe Kobe cheated. I mean, if you’re going to cheat on her then it better with someone that’s smoking hot.

Cmon The endz, Smoking hot women get cheated on all the time, and many times the woman who the guy cheated with is not nearly as hot. She may be filet mignon, but nobody wants filet mignon everyday. Sometimes you have a taste for an in n out burger, know what im sayin. Besides, Im sure Kobe gets many women hotter than Vanessa, who throw themselves at his feet.

Remember: “No matter how good she looks, there is some guy who is tired of
putting up with her SH!T.”
Applies to them all.

People that comment on how beautifull she looks, You must not get out much, Have you ever been on south beach in Miami, she would be a 4 compared to south beach, every NBA player that comes down here to Miami to play the Heat, know that, they all get resort Hotels on south beach and are covered in hot babes, Vanessa is a 4, sorry but thats how it is here.

I think she’s an uneducated piece of trash who stays with Kobe for his money and fame. She also is a terrible mother who uses profanity on a regular basis in the presence of her young children.
