See...Kobe's not that bad

Kobe's Maid Sues -- It Was the Crappiest Job Ever
Posted Mar 25th 2009 11:25AM by TMZ Staff

Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa are being sued by their former housekeeper, who claims Vanessa was incredibly abusive -- even demanding that she put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve a tag from her blouse.

Maria Jimenez claims Vanessa called her "lazy, slow, dumb, a f---ing liar, and f---ing sh-t."

In the lawsuit filed in Superior Court in Orange County, Jimenez claims Vanessa accused her of stealing her (mouth) retainer.

Jimenez says it got so bad -- Vanessa allegedly "badgered, harassed and humiliated Maria by yelling and screaming at Maria and criticizing her in front of Kobe, the Bryants' children, employees and other people in the household" -- she threatened to quit but Kobe talked her out of it.

The final straw: When Vanessa went nuclear because Maria put an expensive blouse in the washer. Vanessa demanded that Maria put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve the price tag for the blouse.

Maria says she wanted to quit and Vanessa responded that she "had to work until payday to pay for the $690 blouse, which she did."

Maria is suing for wrongful discharge, invasion of privacy and emotional distress and unpaid wages.

Glad to see someone is coming clean about who the real evil is in the Bryant household. Kobe is repeatedly driven into the arms of other women and I for one feel terrible for him. My bigger question is how the maid can sue for wrongful discharge when she quit. I get the other charges but I think the wrongful discharge may be a bit bogus. TMZ also has a poll up for toughest job between Kobe's maid and Kobe's wife. Har de har har. Very funny.
