Vanessa Bryant has addressed the latest wave of online rumours head-on, using a dose of humour and a familiar pop culture reference. On Saturday, 1 June, the widow of late NBA legend Kobe Bryant posted a message to her Instagram Stories, shutting down speculation that she is expecting another child.
Her response came in the form of a meme featuring pop star Rihanna, floating in a pool with a drink in hand and giving the middle finger paired with the caption: 'Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer.' It was a bold, cheeky reply to growing chatter online claiming the 43-year-old mother of four might be pregnant with her fifth child.
