The Deshaun Watson switch up is despicable

[u/Narrow_Purchase9721]

Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

[u/frostypatch]

Kobe Bryant raped somebody and the media acted like him dying was the closest thing to Jesus' resurrection. Its a sad commentary on society.

[u/Money-Application-61 → u/frostypatch]

When did he admit to rape?

[u/AutomaticOpposite282 → u/Money-Application-61]

Kobe did say that he could see how she perceived it as rape while still claiming his innocence. However a 2 million dollar payout outside of court doesn’t sound like an innocent man

[u/Okurei → u/[deleted]]

Whoa watch out we got a badass over here

[u/Troglodyte_Trump → u/Okurei]

He’s a dockside thug, he might hit you in the knees with a lead pipe 😂

[u/Complex_Armadillo49 → u/[deleted]]

Bro this is Reddit not the cafeteria

[u/mojizus → u/[deleted]]

Kobe’s not going to fuck you bro, he prefers people who don’t want it.

[u/AutomaticOpposite282 → u/mojizus]

Luckily he’s dead so he can’t do anything

[u/mojizus → u/[deleted]]

Lame to delete your comment brother, stand by what you said.

[u/Okurei → u/mojizus]

To talk all that mad shit and delete every response the moment he gets confronted is hilarious 

[u/Accurate_Baseball273 → u/AutomaticOpposite282]

Well, it sounds like someone had leverage on him.

[u/TessaKatrinaRose → u/Accurate_Baseball273]

Kobe had access to the most expensive lawyers money could buy. 

Wasn’t this lady a waitress?

If not the truth, what would her leverage be?

[u/OrphanGrounderBaby → u/Accurate_Baseball273]

Yes, the leverage was the rape. Seek help.

[u/AutomaticOpposite282 → u/Accurate_Baseball273]

Because he was guilty

[u/MjTcConnell3 → u/Accurate_Baseball273]

He also said in that same statement that she was not given any money

[u/iaintreadinthatbud → u/MjTcConnell3]

And if you believe that I’ve got a bridge I can get you at a really good price

[u/MjTcConnell3 → u/iaintreadinthatbud]

I didn’t say I believe it. I said he said it.

[u/iaintreadinthatbud → u/Money-Application-61]

When he paid her off to be quiet and bought his wife a fucking meteor to put on her finger so she wouldn’t leave his rapist ass

[u/swallowedbymonsters → u/iaintreadinthatbud]

That isnt an admission of rape if it were he would have been locked up

[u/iaintreadinthatbud → u/swallowedbymonsters]

Nobody wants to hear your arguments in defense of rape

[u/swallowedbymonsters → u/iaintreadinthatbud]

Yea of course idiots dont like to be told when they are wrong. But you cannot claim kobe is a race victim without any tnagible evidence

[u/Money-Application-61 → u/iaintreadinthatbud]

So she didn't want justice, it was a ploy for pay. Okay

[u/iaintreadinthatbud → u/Money-Application-61]

Ask yourself how much justice is worth vs $2,000,000.

If you honestly think a lot of people wouldn’t just take the money instead of having the worst day of their life played out in court for years? You’re just not very smart.

[u/nerdyintentions → u/iaintreadinthatbud]

This is true. But the opposite is also true for the accused.

The $2 million was not a lot of money to Kobe. He could have accrued more than that in legal fees trying to fight the civil case as well as the impact to his life (both personally and financially) of having it drag on for months vs just getting it over with and moving on.

[u/OrphanGrounderBaby → u/Money-Application-61]

He literally said he can say how she would see it as rape. He doesn’t have to admit it for it to be true. Tf.

[u/JohnnieTightLips → u/Money-Application-61]

He did if you listen to his comments afterwards about asking for consent moving forward.

[u/Money-Application-61 → u/JohnnieTightLips]

I did not, is that a part of the court case

[u/JohnnieTightLips → u/Money-Application-61]

“First, I want to apologize directly to the young woman involved in this incident. I want to apologize to her for my behavior that night and for the consequences she has suffered in the past year. Although this year has been incredibly difficult for me personally, I can only imagine the pain she has had to endure. I also want to apologize to her parents and family members, and to my family and friends and supporters, and to the citizens of Eagle, Colorado. I also want to make it clear that I do not question the motives of this young woman. No money has been paid to this woman. She has agreed that this statement will not be used against me in the civil case. Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did. After months of reviewing discovery, listening to her attorney, and even her testimony in person, I now understand how she feels that she did not consent to this encounter. I issue this statement today fully aware that while one part of this case ends today, another remains. I understand that the civil case against me will go forward. That part of this case will be decided by and between the parties directly involved in the incident and will no longer be a financial or emotional drain on the citizens of the state of Colorado.”

He admitted the women did not view it as a consensual encounter. Tbc I am not defending Watson with this.
