The actress has excitedly released some new news that was celebrated by Vanessa.
While there was rivalry between Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant on the court, Vanessa and La La got along great and are great friends today. The “Power” actress has always supported her friend through thick and thin, and vice versa.
She was there for Vanessa when her husband and daughter Gigi died in that accident on January 26, 2020. She also stated that, with the advent of the COVID 19 pandemic, she called her “every day” to encourage her.
Now, Vanessa is totally proud of La La’s achievements and supports her unconditionally. She made this known in her friend’s most recent post, after sharing the happy news.
Vanessa applauds La La’s achievements
Making use of her official Instagram account, La La announced that the campaign of the skincare brand “Topicals” in which she stars was shared on a billboard.
“LOVE THIS. Super hype to see my @topicals billboard in Brooklyn! Thank you Topicals for honoring bold, unapologetic, powerful women everywhere,” she wrote alongside a video of her showing off the campaign.
The truth is that she has shared her experience with psoriasis and this skin care line seeks to raise awareness and provide a proper and kind treatment to the outbreaks that may arise.
Faced with such an accomplishment, Vanessa did not hesitate to express her support, commenting on her friend’s post saying, “Congrats, beauty!!!” along with heart and party emojis.
And although La La has confessed that she has her cell phone notifications silenced, undoubtedly, her friend’s comment did not go unnoticed and this is just one more sign that their bond is as special as it is unconditional.

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.”

WNBA Chooses Not To Investigate Brittney Griner

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 away 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.
