An ENRAGED Kobe Bryant Accused Of ASSAULTING Fellow Church-Goer

Aug 16 | by _YBF

When the pastor said reach out and touch your neighbor this past Sunday, Kobe Bryant took it literally and sent a fellow church-goer to the hospital. Deets inside....

Police in San Diego, CA are investigating whether Kobe Bryant assaulted a man during church this past Sunday.

According to the "unnamed" accuser, he and Kobe where both attending services at St. Therese of Carmel in Carmel Valley, when the man said Kobe grabbed his cell phone because he thought the man was taking a pic of him and his wife Vanessa Bryant.

The man said Kobe hurt his wrist during the grab and he had to be treated at a hospital!

No charges have been filed yet and Kobe has not spoken out about the incident.

The police found no trace of pictures of Kobe and/or his wife in the man's phone. Sigh......it's not always about you Kobe. Maybe the man saw a vision of Sweet Baby Jesus and wanted to tweet it to his friends.

Nevertheless, I think Kobe should get some olive oil and lay hands on the man's his wrist and pray for a healing.

Let the church say....Amen.

Since when is it ok to put

Since when is it ok to put your hands on somebody because of what you THOUGHT they did or ANTICIPATE what they might do? Would any of you who are defending "role model" Kobe for touching this man be ok if somebody walked up to you in church, the store, wherever and snatched your phone without warning? The guy is the one who acted Christian, because he could have come up swinging. Also, FYI to those of you who don't go to church regularly, people are now reading their Bibles on their phones. My senior citizen mother even has it on her KINDLE!! If Kobe was in church for the right reason, he wouldn't have noticed what anyone else around him was doing in the first place.

A lot of people have their cell phones out in church to use the online bibles. I have seen it at many churches. Kobe is a complete ass for making a scene in church, what an idiot!

why does this person have his phone out and using it while church service is going on? I dont blame Kobe at all, I doubt dude is even hurt if he was police would be all over it, thats why no charges were made.

What was Kobe doing at church

What was Kobe doing at church in the first place.If he had gone to worship the Lord he would have humbled himself and not seen himself as Christ. Thats unparalleled arrogance at church. Stay in the court where you are the king ,at church the real KING is none other than J.E.S.U.S.

I hope Russell Armstrong's

I hope Russell Armstrong's suicide brings light to the millions of people who are emotionally strained right now because of their financial predicaments. Money is a powerful force. If they were not having financial issues maybe he and his wide would have had less fights and still be together. But to have three kids in total and commit suicide is just wrong. When you are having real life issues, sometimes it feels like there is no way out. And its hard to come to terms with having to start rebuilding your finances from zero, it’s a bitch.

Kobe may have overacted just a little bit. I mean I agree celeb or not let the man attend church in peace. BUT don't put yourself in that kind of situation. Was there not an usher who could have handled that? I'm just saying. But I know the dude is after money cause aint no way he broke your wrist...

I'm not mad at Kobe. But the church should have had ushers to monitor people around him so that he could be in peace. I doubt very seriously that man was injured. I can't stand to hear stories like this when you know it's about money. That "guy" will be quit to yell emotional suffering. Kobe should replace the phone if he broke it and call it a day. People go nuts over celebs. I've seen it first hand at church. I might say, hey, there goes so and so but I would NEVER approach them. That's childish and I bet that man was trying to take a pic.

I doubt his injuries waranted a hospital visit but because of Kobe's wealth and fame he is trying to make a dollar off of a minor confrontation. I mean seriously, is he a man or a mouse? I could see if his wife was injured but you are a man. C'mon son and man up! Sounds to me ol' boy may have had a limp wrist before running into Kobe!

1 nation away from God. USA

1 nation away from God. USA values money over God period. We don't even trust in God anymore. That is like going to a muslim country and say not under Allah anymore. Devil conforms to anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! we love Man made more than God made. Look how all the celebs flock to get surgery. they hate what God made and run to man to fix it. Everyone deserves peace in house of the Lord. Someone should start a I am too rich for regular church folks for all the rich were they will be guranteed not to have to be subject to little people taking thir pics.\ kobe ruffed dude before he got a chance to get a pic.. Be real!! you know his azz was the typical manfan pressed to take a pic of another man!!!!!!!!!!!LOSER! now if it had been Obama a real trooper... got me there but not an alleged rapist athlete.. those are too frequent to sweat!!

Exactly. Focus on God and you won't notice people allegedly taking your pic. If you do notice, your reaction will be in line with God's design. No need to take it to the streets because you are annoyed.

It's fine for the Bryants to go church without being harassed. However dude had no pics of the Bryants so Kobe really doesn't have a defense. Saying he THOUGHT the guy took his pic isn't good enough. In any case, this is CHURCH!! As wrong as it is for people to take the pics at church, it is just as wrong to react the way Kobe did. Deal with your fellow church goer with a Christ-like spirit.

I'm not going to run down a list of all the bad things he's done. You need to go google that hun. AND FURTHERMORE I do not dislike Kobe because he is married to a "Latina". If they are happy together then thats great.
