Overall, it is no secret that Vanessa Bryant and Kobe’s parents were not particularly close. In fact, Kobe himself had some disputes with his parents. However, when Kobe passed away, Vanessa was never able to reconcile with Bryant’s family. On Tuesday, it was announced that Kobe’s father Joe Bryant had passed away at the age of 69 . The new came as quite a shock, and it subsequently led to a statement from Vanessa on her Instagram story.
“Sending our condolences upon hearing the news of my father in law’s passing. We hoped things would’ve been different,” Bryant wrote. “Although the times we spent together were few, he was always sweet and nice to be around. Kobe loved him very much. Our prayers go out to family.” Unfortunately, her statement is currently getting some heavy criticism online. In the comments section on DJ Akademiks’ page, some fans felt as though she could have done without the statement entirely.
