Kobe's Maid Sues -- It Was the Crappiest Job Ever

Kobe & VanessaKobe 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 ... so Vanessa could deduct the cost of the blouse from the maid's salary!

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: 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.

33. Ahhhhh, how cute, the doormat, I allow my husband to cheat on me because he buys me diamonds, & teenager wife, thinks she is a diva. That is just precious!

Please. she would be no different from any other teenaged mother if she had not hooked up with a basketball player, not that its a dream job, I would never want to be in the shoes of a woman who has a cheater for a husband. I don't care how money he makes. My sanitity is worth more then her pink diamond.

She NEVER has piece of mind. How could she? The second he leaves on a road trip her radar has to be up, which means she is a crab-ass all day thinking about her man giving it to a fan! No wonder she takes it out on the staff of her house.


Oh, by the way, heres some advice to divas out there, CLEAN YOUR OWN HOUSE and you won't have some stranger in your business telling the world how you REALLY are. Naomi, do you hear me too?

34. Shame on ANYONE who thinks they can treat anyone like this. And when you're nothing but a glorified whore, it's even more disgusting. B-tch needs to be knocked down a peg or two, and I'm happy to sign up for the job.

41. This is probably true... but who cares Kobe makes enough to pay her out a few Gz for the trouble. its his wife doin all this not him, he is still the best player in the league and is going to get the MVP this year!!! with bynum coming back before playoffs, they are going to be world champs, you think he cares about a small lawsuit? Kobe will make it rain on her @$$!!

42. another nobody bitch with a crappy attitude. Why is it that when a bo-body bitch marries a celebrity they think they can get away with treating folks like crap? I hope the maid get millions.

43. This is probably true... but who cares! Kobe has enough money to pay her out. This should never even have gone to court, he should have handed her a cool 10 Gz and let her go. This crazy maid needs to stop looking for easy money and go pick strawberries or something. Kobe works hard for his money and so should she.

Kobe for MVP again this year and when Bynum comes back its a wrap.. 2009 NBA Champions

44. Vanessa is an evil, spoiled white trash bitch!!!!!! I have had the opportunity of waiting on her high maintenance bitchy attitude, and there is no reason for her rude behavior. She married the cheatin basketball star, so if she has a problem with him cheating on her all time, now everyone knows why, she is a BITCH!!! Kobe probably can't wait to be on the road away from her. She actually started a fight with Vanessa Williams in the stands. Yep, the bitch is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45. Now we understand why Kobe cheated and his family cant stand her
