I have been hearing about this from my brothers and the TV for days now. Eventually I will likely get tired of hearing about it, but that's typical with most huge hyped up scandals. Anyway...
I will admit that at first, I thought this girl was just doing what she did for attention/money. I am not going to say my opinion has changed drastically, other than switching to neutral. Yes, Kobe is a jackass for cheating on his wife, and if I were her, he would be getting several pieces of my mind, and most likely be slapped with a divorce.
There is no way for me or anyone else to truly know what happened between Kobe and this girl, but let's keep in mind that this world is not perfect, and people will fuck each other over no matter what. That is not to say this is happening in this case, but it may very well be what is going on. Personally, it angers me greatly when I hear about women crying rape just to get even or for their own personal gain or whatever selfish reason they may have.
When women cry wolf like that, it makes people less trusting of their word, and less trusting of the word of others. Unfortunately, that is a part of life. If it turns out that Kobe did force sex on this girl, well, we'll be mad at Kobe. If the opposite happens, and it turns out that the girl is lying, many people will be very pissed at the girl, and again, less trust will be placed in future rape claims for many people. Either outcome will be sad for someone in some way.
