When Vanessa Bryant, Kobe Bryant’s wife of 10 years filed for divorce this month, the big question on everyone’s mind wasn’t “why?” but “why now?” The L.A. Laker was accused of sexually assaulting a hotel maid in 2003 and, though he admitted to infidelity (while denying the assault), Vanessa stuck by him. Rumors of other affairs swirled around the MVP, but the couple remained tight, until now. Vanessa has cited “irreconcilable differences” as her motivation for divorce, amid much speculation that Kobe’s having an affair with Kim Kardashian’s friend, Carla DiBello, Playboy model Jessica Burciaga or someone else. Vanessa isn’t the only NBA WAG (wife and girlfriend) to get caught up in scandal. From Eva Longoria to Jennifer Williams, see other WAGs who have made headlines for nasty breakups, lawsuits, and other drama with their basketball-star husbands.
