6. POINTS TO PONDER
Remembering Kobe Bryant: A Catholic with a Difficult Legacy An Excerpt from America Magazine
One of the darkest periods in his
personal life happened in 2003 — when he was accused of
raping a young
woman while he
was staying at
a mountain resort hotel in Colorado; he was in the state
for knee surgery and was staying near Vail in Eagle, Colorado. He was arrested
on a rape charge.
He denied he had raped her but admitted
that the two had consensual sex. The charges were eventually dropped. In 2004, his
accuser filed a civil suit against him and in 2005 Bryant settled with her out
of court for an undisclosed sum.
His marriage almost ended over it. In a
GQ interview in 2015, he said he relied on his Catholic faith to get him
through — and talking to a priest was “the turning point.”
“The one thing that really helped me
during that process — I’m Catholic, I
grew up Catholic, my kids are Catholic — was talking to a priest. It was
actually kind of funny: He looks at me and says, ‘Did you do it?’ And I say,
‘Of course not.’ Then he asks, ‘Do you have a good lawyer?’ And I’m like, ‘Uh,
yeah, he’s phenomenal.’ So then he
just said, ‘Let it
go. Move on.
God’s not going
to give you anything you can’t handle, and it’s in
his hands now.
This is something you can’t control. So let it go.’ And
that was the turning point.”
