Bryant Told Police of O'Neal Payouts

too funny. or it would if this weren't a rape case...

Hours after his sexual encounter with a hotel employee in Colorado, Kobe Bryant told investigators that Shaquille O'Neal, his Laker teammate at the time, had paid up to $1 million to women to keep them quiet about "situations like this," according to a police report.

An Eagle County, Colo., detective wrote in a report that Bryant made the comment near the end of a lengthy interrogation on July 2, 2003, about allegations that Bryant had raped the woman, then 19, in his resort hotel room.

O'Neal was informed of the comment last September, about two weeks before Laker training camp opened in Hawaii, when prosecution investigators made an unsuccessful attempt to question him. His agent, Perry Rogers, said Tuesday that the allegation in Bryant's statement was untrue and "undeserving of a response."

Much of Bryant's 75-minute interview was tape-recorded, but Det. Doug Winters wrote that the reference to O'Neal came after his partner, Det. Dan Loya, had turned off the recorder.

The incident report, a portion of which was reviewed by the Los Angeles Times, is part of the sealed file in the criminal case that was brought against Bryant last year and dropped this month. A Colorado judge has a motion before him to unseal documents from the case.

"Bryant made a comment to us about what another teammate does in situations like these," Winters wrote. "Bryant stated he should have done what Shaq (Shaquille O'Neal) does. Bryant stated that Shaq would pay his women not to say anything. He stated Shaq has paid up to a million dollars already for situations like this. He stated he, Bryant, treats a woman with respect, therefore they shouldn't say anything."

hahahahah.

damn even in opposite ends of the coast they still got drama. that's a pretty strong accusation to make and it's on tape.

big gump shaq must be really happy about this one.

shaq and kobe's are like tupac (born in brooklyn, ny) and biggie now.

What he "should have done" is NOT raped the girl in the first place. His remorse isn't about the right thing.

I hope Shaq kills him.

i don't think he raped her. given how she abruptly dropped the case.

she probably was

1)looking for a quick fortune

and/or

2)got fucked in the ass, felt like a whore afterwards and cried rape.

in another life, if i was to ever become a sports superstar. anytime i hook up with some slut, i'd make sure members of my entourage is right in that room with me.

Now things make more sense. I'd always wondered why when the whole friggen world was offering emotional support to Kobe when the story broke, Shaq was very quiet wouldn't speak publically for a while.

I was gonna post something lengthy but I don't have the stomach for it. If this is true -- that basically, Kobe is SUCH a pussy that he can't take responsibility for his actions, and instead has to pull shit out of his ass about "MILLIONS" that Shaq spent..."...what about Shaq, huh huh huh? Why's he get to avoid criminal charges? I'm Kobe Bryant! I respect the bitches that I fuck! No one would ever want harm to come to Kobe because I treat them so well...! That goddamn Shaq...he has to pay his women...I get it for free!

...I'll try and reserve judgment. Hopefully Kobe will deny it was ever said...hopefully those dumb asses in Colorado are just sore losers...who knows...

But the more I think about it...is it that far fetched that Kobe would pull a stunt like that?

[kurei kun]

all i know is that the christmas game with shaq vs kobe just gets juicier day after day.

[mrazntre]

I'm sad, but I still love the Lakers.

GO LAKERS!!!!!

[deez nuts]

this whole so called trial was just a waste of colorado's tax payers money.

It's true. Mark Hurlburt is gonna be crucified in Eagle Co.
I think he only TRIED to try the case because he was an insecure bitch from a small town.

I wonder if Shaq is gonna kick Kobe's ass.....
