Do the wives of the Lakers have a name for their little club? If not, I have a suggestion... So, from the sound of things, Khloe Kardashian Odom is not fitting into the exclusive enclave of Laker ladies - as if that comes as any surprise! Khloe (or K-hole, as I like to call her) obviously didn't come to the table as a mere bride of a teammate. She came equipped with a load of baggage including a large (and largely unlikable) family, a television crew and, most disturbingly, Ryan Seacrest. That's a lot to contend with - and we haven't even touched on how Khloe isn't exactly the most charming/gracious presence in the world. Well, head Laker wife, Vanessa Bryant, ain't taking this Kardashian bullshit lightly. Full snubbing has been engaged! Details from In Touch Weekly, via Celebitchy: According to an insider, Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa,
"hates" Khloé and her entire family, whom she sees as attention-grabbing fame-seekers.
And instead of hiding her feelings, Vanessa refuses to have anything to do with
the 26-year-old.
"She won't sit anywhere near Khloé at Lakers games," the
insider reveals, adding that because of Vanessa's dislike of her, Khloé has
been shut out of the tight-knit circle the other Lakers' wives have formed.
"At a dinner for the wives, Vanessa didn't want to invite
Khloé," the insider shares. "She said Khloé is a 'fake wife,' and she didn't
want fake wives there."
The feeling is mutual. The insider says Khloé and Vanessa
have "gotten into fights" in the past. And at the Lakers' NBA Finals game on
June 17, Khloé brought Lamar's two children, as well as her mom, Kris, and
siblings Kim, Rob, Kendall and Kylie -- and they all stayed far away from Vanessa.]
"Fake wife" - how dare she? Heh, heh. Khloe would have been smart to play beta for a minute and submit to the alpha, but we all know she don't roll like that - never has, never will. More opinion, via Celebitchy:
[Since I don't follow sports and sports entourages at all, I only know who Vanessa Bryant is because of Kobe Bryant's sexual assault case of 2003, where Kobe was accused of assaulting a 19-year-old hotel employee, and Kobe came out with Vanessa and claimed it wasn't assault, he just cheated on his wife. Kobe later gave Vanessa a gigantic, $4 million purple diamond ring for sticking by him, et cetera. Anyway, Vanessa has been a Laker wife for a long time - they've been married since April 2001 (they met in 1999, when Vanessa was 17 years old). I guess Vanessa has become like the grand dame, or the Marie Antoinette, of Laker wives. Vanessa says who is worthy and who is not amongst the players wives and girlfriends. And Vanessa has declared that Khloe Kardashian is unworthy. Vanessa sounds like an a-hole, and we already know that Khloe is an a-hole too, but she's also "America's A-hole" you know? Nobody puts Khloe in the corner. Mainly because she won't fit.]
Frankly, I'm surprised Vanessa is playing so easily into Khloe's skilled, famewhoring hands. Girlfriend dines on drama for breakfast, lunch, second lunch, dinner and everything in between. She's got to be loving this mini-catfight. It only raises Khloe (and husband Lamar's) profile - and that means more money for the K clan. She should send Vanessa a thank you note...
