The Bryants Gotta Pay

Remember back in March [click here if you don't] when Kobe and Vanessa Bryant's maid sued them for emotional distress, unpaid wages and wrongful discharge after Vanessa verbally abused her and made her dig in a bag of dog shit? Miss Maid lady won unemployment compensation from Kobe and Vanessa who had been trying to block her benefit claim because she quit. The Unemployment Board ruled that Miss Maid lady “voluntarily left the employment because her immediate supervisor [Vanessa] repeatedly addressed her in a disrespectful and assaulting tone, and required her to perform tasks that were repugnant and demeaning.”
Score one for Maid Lady.
