Monday (Jan 25), the Los Angeles Lakersspent some time at The White House to meet President Obama. Mr. Obama invited the team to the capital (Washington, D.C.) to commemorate their NBA title run last season. What interesting is that you will notice that the players brought along their families, which included Kobe Bryant’s sexy wife Vanessa Bryant and Lamar Odom’s wife Khloe Kardashian! Yup, a Kardashian has finally made their way into The White House. Who woulda thunk it? (LOL)

Kobe and Vanessa Bryant’s Lawyers, Loeb & Loeb LLP, have released a statement on behalf of the couple striking back at the maid who accused Vanessa of being abusive, calling her names, and forcing her to retrieve a tag from a bag of dog feces.

“We have learned that a former employee of the Bryants, Maria Jimenez, has filed a complaint against our clients. Ms. Jimenez’s outrageous allegations of improper conduct are totally unfounded and patently false. The Bryants intend to vigorously defend against these untruthful allegations and are confident that the baseless nature of the allegations will be proven.”

Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are being sued by their maid, reports TMZ. The former housekeeper, Maria Jiminez, claims Vanessa was extremely abusive and called her names, even demanding that she put her hand in a bag of dog crap to get a tag from her blouse. And that’s not even half of it. Reports say Vanessa wanted to deduct the cost of the blouse from the maid’s salary!

Maria Jimenez claims Vanessa called her “lazy, slow, dumb, a f**king liar, and f**king sh-t.” In the lawsuit filed in Superior Court in Orange County, Jimenez claims Vanessa accused her of stealing her (mouth) retainer. Jimenez says it got so bad — Vanessa allegedly “badgered, harassed and humiliated Maria by yelling and screaming at Maria and criticizing her in front of Kobe, the Bryants’ children, employees and other people in the household” — she threatened to quit but Kobe talked her out of it.
