Vanessa Bryant, the sad widow of famous NBA player Kobe Bryant, is the daughter of Sofia Laine. Sofia Urbieta Laine was born on October 4, 1952 in the USA. Sofia Laine married Stephen Laine in the 1990s and they separated in 2002.
Sofia Laine seems to have been a very secretive person as not much is known about her on the internet, but then she became known to everyone because she sued her only daughter. Vanessa Bryant during her most difficult time when she lost her husband Kobe Bryant and daughter Gigi.
After the tragic deaths of her husband Kobe Bryant and 13-year-old daughter Gianna, Vanessa Bryant revealed herself to be one of the bravest people of all time. But in her worst moments, when Vanessa Bryant needed her mother (Sofia Laine) the most after going through one of the most difficult experiences of her life, she sued her, even though fan support had allowed the Bryants to continue.
Sofia Laine lives in Irvine, at the top of California, in Turtle Ridge, a private neighborhood. The home is owned by his daughter Vanessa Bryant and her family and is a short distance from his primary residence in Newport Coast.
It turned out that the house Sofia Laine lived in was the same one her daughter Vanessa was selling. After the deaths of Kobe and Gianna Bryant, Sofia Laine was forced to move in with the Bryant family. Sofia Laine then accused her daughter of kicking her out of the house and demanded she return the car Kobe Bryant bought her.
Given all this conflict between her and her daughter Vanessa Bryant, Sofia Laine decided to sue her for acting as a nanny for her own grandchildren (even though she denied evicting her mother or demanding that she return the car that her late husband had bought).
and this made her popular at a time when her only daughter was grieving.
Sofia Laine has decided to reimburse Vanessa Bryant, who was mourning the deaths of her husband Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna Bryant, $96 an hour for the 18 years she spent caring for her grandchildren .
Even though the lawsuit between Vanessa Bryant and her mother Sofia Laine was settled (meaning Sofia Laine did not get her $5 million back because she was the “nanny” to her grandchildren), the animosity between mother and daughter still exists. Vanessa Bryant will probably have a hard time forgiving her mother after everything she’s been through.
Vanessa Bryant’s mother, Sofia Laine, may or may not have spoken to her since the trial, but the unfortunate truth is that her children not only lost a father and sister, but also a grandmother because of the conflict between their mother, Vanessa. Bryant and grandmother Sofia Laine.
Despite Vanessa Bryant’s disagreement with her mother Sofia Laine, Vanessa has lovingly continued to preserve her family’s memory and she has not been left alone when it comes to preserving the memory of her daughter and husband . In addition to the support of the public, Vanessa Bryant will perhaps be able to count on the support of her closest friends Ciara and La La Anthony.
