Vanessa Bryant is lashing out at her mother Sofia Laine for airing the family’s dirty laundry in an interview with Univision. Sofia claims that her daughter and Kobe Bryant’s widow kicked her out of her home in a new interview with Dave Valadez on the El Gorda y La Flaca program. Here’s what you need to know.
“She told me, ‘I need you to get out of this house.’ She also told me that she wanted her car and she wants it now,” Sofia said in Spanish, as she wiped away tears. It didn’t take very long for Vanessa to respond to her mother’s interview.

“My husband and daughter passed away unexpectedly, and yet my mother had the audacity to do a television interview speaking negatively of me while shedding tears for a car and a house that were not in her name,” Vanessa said in a statement to the program.
“She has removed all her diamond jewelry, emptied the apartment I provided, and put away the furniture to make it look like she doesn’t have my support. My husband and I have supported her financially for the past 20 years, and continue to do so, in addition to her monthly alimony.”
If that weren’t enough, Vanessa claims that her mother has not been there for her, both emotionally and physically, since the death of her husband and daughter. Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna died in a helicopter crash near their home in Calabasas, Calif. back in January.
“Now I see what is most important to my mother and it’s more than painful,” she said. “I hope that everything that is coming out about our personal relationship ends here.”
However, Sofia Laine says that while she still doesn’t know why her daughter Vanessa kicked her out of her home, she did add that the property is actually in the name of Erika Williams, who was named the legal guardian to represent Vanessa’s daughters in their father’s trust.
