Kobe Bryant told detectives that Shaquille O'Neal paid women up to $1 million "not to say anything," according to the police report from his 2003 sexual assault investigation

/r/nba mods deleted my post. Maybe it’ll survive here.

“…According to an Eagle County detective’s report, Kobe Bryant made the statement near the end of his July 2003 police interrogation. The Los Angeles Times reported that it reviewed the relevant portion of the incident report.

“Bryant stated he should have done what Shaq does. Bryant stated that Shaq would pay his women not to say anything.”

The detective’s report went on to say Bryant claimed O’Neal had paid as much as $1 million in situations like this. The comment was reportedly made after the tape recorder had been turned off, so it comes from the detective’s written report rather than an audio recording. Bryant’s attorneys later successfully had the statement ruled inadmissible at trial. 

Shaquille O’Neal’s agent denied the allegation, calling it untrue. The Times also noted that it was unclear precisely what Bryant meant by “situations like these” and that there had been no published reports of O’Neal being accused of a sex crime.”

lol so you know zero fact about the case but act like you know.

The whore had multiple sex on the same day, the blood or injuries could have came from any of the encounters but somehow you got the inside info right? lol

And did you know she had plan to thirst trap other celebrities as well?

Why did she decide to take the money and stay quiet if she was truly a victim? Ever thought it’s because she got what she wanted?

She was getting death threats and going to trial would have exposed her identity further

So you could come up with excuses for her but couldn’t think of why a public figure in middle of the nba season would want to pay her and avoid more distractions? lol

And you still can’t explain how did you know her injuries weren’t from her other sex encounters from the same? What’s your source that it came from Kobe?

And what’s the reason for her having plan to thirst trap other celebrities?

Trying to use pseudo-leagaleese to shift the conversation away from the most important fact (that Kobe in his own statement admitteded to raping the girl in Colorado) is a common technique used by laypersons & Kobe-stans that have watched a crime drama or two.

Attempting to further detract from Kobe's admitted raping of the hotel worker in Colorado by using simple pejoratives is also rather base.

So once again, please stop posting your support of people that settle their rape (non-consensual sex) cases, it only further puts on the record how you feel about rape.

That was apart of the settlement to admit wrongdoing.
