Vanessa Bryant | Why did her father kick her out of the house ... The first comment from Vanessa Bryant

Vanessa Bryant's mother claims her daughter kicked her out of the house after the death of former Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant. Sofia Laine spoke to Univision and said Vanessa Bryant told her she needed to leave and then was forced to return the car the was given to her. When Bryant saw the interview, she released a statement to the station denying the accusations.

"My husband and daughter passed away unexpectedly, and yet my mother had the audacity to do a television interview speaking negatively of me while shedding tears for a car and a house that were not in her name," she said as reported by Hollywood Unlocked. "She has removed all her diamond jewellery, emptied the apartment I provided, and put away the furniture to make it look like she doesn't have my support. My husband and I have supported her financially for the past 20 years, and continue to do so, in addition to her monthly alimony." Bryant also added that Laine was not supported of her and her three daughters after the death of Kobe and their daughter Gianna.

"She told me, 'I need you to get out of this house.' She also told me that she wanted her car and she wants it now," Laine said in Spanish in the Univision interview. It's not clear what has led to the strain in the relationship between Bryant and Laine considering the two have reportedly have a strong relationship
