Vanessa Bryant has finally reacted to swirling pregnancy rumors with a series of Instagram stories.

The 43-year-old widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant posted a series of Rihanna memes to quash speculation about her having a fifth child with an unidentified 27-year-old boyfriend.

Over the weekend, a rumor emerged that the 43-year-old was pregnant with her fifth child.

Vanessa posted a meme of Rihanna floating in the water, snorkel mask on, flipping the middle finger, captioned, “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.”

She shared another meme with Rihanna’s photo and wrote: ‘I mean, I am not just the only one.’

 

This seems to suggest that Vanessa Bryant is not pregnant, and these rumors are all false.

Kobe and their daughter, Gianna, who was only 13 years old at the time, were killed in a helicopter crash in January 2020. Kobe and Gianna were traveling to a youth basketball game with seven other passengers at the time of the tragedy.

Although it has been five years, some crazed fans would be just fine with her not being in another relationship for the rest of her life just because she was with Kobe Bryant.

Vanessa Bryant is the mother to Natalia, Bianka, and Capri and the late Gianna, who died in the helicopter crash with her father, Kobe.

She, along with her kids, has been through enough trying to navigate life after losing two important members of their family.

Unfortunately, Vanessa had to shut down rumors that she was pregnant by another man.

In reality, Kobe Bryant’s widow owes nobody a damn thing. It has been five years, and she should be able to find love again.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
