Open Marriages: Hollywood’s Worst Kept Secret?

Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant

Nobody thinks the name Kobe Bryant without subconsciously tying his infamous alleged rape case to it; it’s just ingrained in there, right? But, after engaging in appropriate and consensual acts with the Colorado hotel employee, Bryant’s former dancer wife of two years, Vanessa Laine, stood closely by his side.

Eventually Vanessa’s embarrassment came to the light of the press, but it wasn’t for the reasons we would expect. She claimed to have felt ashamed for Kobe’s affair exposure and legal battle, rather than the fact that the two practiced an open marriage. With priorities like this, it is clear that these two have a premeditated and “honest” relationship.
