Even though Kobe and Gianna are no longer in the world, Vanessa hung their stockings atop a fireplace for Christmas. This year has been pretty tough for the Bryants as they continue to mark milestones without their patriarch.

Vanessa's friends have been her rock through the tough times, especially Ciara. The singer once gushed about her friend's strength, calling her the toughest mama she has ever known.

FAMILY FEUD

Vanessa is grateful to have a supportive friend like Ciara. She is lucky enough to have such loving friends, but the same cannot be said about her mother, Sofia Lane.

According to Vanessa, her mother is trying to live off her and her daughters for the rest of her life and is desperately trying to extort a financial windfall from the Bryants.
