Why, Kobe? Why????
I thought I was significantly past the age where I unrealistically idolized certain celebrities, but I'm so disappointed in this one. Kobe Bryant is a highly educated, attractive, successful athlete and now I have to add adulterer to that list of attributes? Forgive me, I forgot an adjective . . . STUPID adulterer?
The interesting thing is that ball players and other celebrities seem to forget the reasons why they're attractive. Yes, being rich enables one to look better. Teeth can be fixed, dermatologists can smooth complexions (unless you're Dennis Rodman -- I don't think there's hope for his skin), better clothes can be purchased. Money makes a person more interesting. But really . . . seriously . . . the real draw is the money itself. The rich and desirable should not think, for one second, that any other man walking down the street couldn't himself be equally attractive with 45 million extra dollars to spare.
Perhaps Kobe forgot that a 19-year-old can have an agenda too, and far less to lose. If he thought about it for even a second, he'd have realized that the best route to fame for a 19-year-old who's stuck in a dead end job in an uninteresting city and got rejected during the American Idol tryouts could be to seduce a famous man and go to the police. What the hell ELSE has she got to do?
Could Kobe have thought that sex with him would be exciting enough to keep her quiet? Or maybe he thought he was so compelling that this girl should have been happy to have a quickie? OR maybe he didn't consider all that he had to lose for a random piece of ass?
And now his poor wife, who's about the same age as the alleged victim, has to sit in press conferences, holding their infant daughter, and listen to him cry and apologize . . . wearing a game face of her own.
I can only hope the sex was good.
