In the early days of Kobe Bryant's break-up with his wife Vanessa, Kobe was linked to Sanaa Lathan after they were spotted standing near each other at Jay Z and Kanye West's LA Watch the Throne concert [click here if you missed that].
During the firestorm of gossip that followed Sanaa made a snarky comment blasting the reports while implying Kobe doesn't date black girls [click here if you missed that]. In hindsight Sanaa wishes she hadn't done it...
EBONY.com: You recently got caught up in a nasty rumor with Kobe Bryant, that you were somehow the reason for his marriage ending after you two were seen in the same VIP section at Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch the Throne concert. I have to say I absolutely loved your response to the rumor on Twitter. [Sanaa tweeted: "Anybody who pays attention knows I’m not his type… Blank stare. #blackgirlsrock #dontbelievethelies"]
Sanaa: I probably shouldn’t have said that because I don’t discriminate when it comes to dating. I have dated all races and I believe you should be free to do whatever you want. But I was so annoyed because I was having such a great time at the concert and Kobe happen to be standing next to me, and then all of a sudden I was tied to his break-up. That’s absurd, and I tweeted that in the moment, and I regret it. But to each its own. It’s just funny that if it’s written people believe it, and even though I have said I have nothing to do with him, people are still saying when the baby is due?
