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.

49. She is probably still cranky that Shaq left the Lakers. He was the "bigger" man. I can understand Kobe staying with her to some extent. She seems kind of hot and probably allows him to get freaky with her and other women. She looks cute enough to knock boots with.

52. @ #10....you have to be a bitter white woman.

The bitch opened her nasty legs to Kobe most likely before he even asked her for sex...as well as three other men within 24hours without even changing her dirty underwear. You tell me if that sounds like a woman a muli-millionaire mega star needs to rape? I think f**kin not!

P.S the bitch wasn't even that pretty.

56. Laker Fan, why would she go pick strawberries? Are you saying that simply because the maid has a spanish name? Yea, Kobe works hard for his money and so does the maid. How would YOU like to be Vanessa's maid? Hahahaha. You probably wouldn't sue her, you'd probably kill her!! LOL.

57. I used to work with a guy who lived next door to her family for years. Kobe used to even hang out in his garage. From the stories he told, I can totally believe this. After she married the money her and her mother got rid of her father. Mother and daughter are two peas in a pod. Low class gold diggers.

59. Oh come on!
This is just another case of the hired help trying to make a fast buck.

Vanessa has a right to walk around nude in her own house,geez.

And no one can "force" anyone to put their hand in dog poop, least of all tiny Vanessa.
This story is full of holes.
