Washington - Vanessa Bryant has insisted that she’s not a shallow gold-digging, championship-hoarding basketball wife, claiming that she would have married Kobe even if he hadn’t won an NBA title.
According to TMZ, the sportstar’s wife is finally responding to critics who skewered her for the interview she did with New York Magazine.
During the interview, she had said that she “certainly would not want to be married to somebody that can’t win championships.â€
“I’m sad to hear that comments in my New York Magazine interview are being misconstrued and taken out of context. I have and will continue to support my husband’s dreams,†TMZ quoted her as saying.
“I have been with Kobe for 13 years. I accepted his marriage proposal prior to him winning any of his 5 championships with his teammates.
“For anyone to think otherwise is wrong. It is not about being married to a ‘winner’ it is about our sacrifice as a family,†she added.
