Laura Lane, who covers the Lakers for ESPN.com, wrote a comment about a purple tutu worn by Vanessa Bryant, wife of Kobe Bryant. Vanessa wasn’t too happy about it. Lane said:

So as I’m walking out of the Lakers locker room after some post-game interviews with the players, I pass Vanessa, who is sitting outside the locker room as usual with her two girls.
“Laura!” she screams (yes, she apparently knows my name). “F**k you! You f**king b!tch!”

“Excuse me?” I say, completely baffled as I look around me to see if there is someone else named Laura. No, there’s not.

Her daughters – ages 5 and 2 – are sitting next to her on the bench looking at their mom as she screams.

[More f-words ensue. Many more.]

I just stare at her. I’ve heard many stories about her from reporters, but this was unbelievable. Two of my friends from the LA Times told me how she cussed out one of them last season, because he said hi to her daughter. “Join the club, this means you’ve arrived,” said one reporter when word spread of my run-in with Vanessa. “She’s insane,” said another. “Everyone knows it.”

Lane says Vanessa’s anger may be related to frustration over the rumor that alleged Kobe was screwing one of the Laker Girls, "a hotter version of his wife who is also named Vanessa," who suddenly vanished from the squad. Kobe’s lawyer sent a letter the site that made the allegation demanding they remove the story. If we see Vanessa wearing more expensive jewelry, much like the ring with the big rock during the Kobe rape allegation, we’ll know something is up.
