Celebrity blog TMZ.com spoke with Vanessa’s ex-stepfather, Stephen Laine, an inventory manager for a food company who was married to Vanessa’s mother from 1990 to 2003. Laine helped raise Vanessa from a child to a teen — she met Kobe when she was barely 17.
Laine tells TMZ.com: “Her mother taught her well to wait for the ten-year mark [before divorcing].”
He explains, “In California, it’s considered a long term marriage and then she gets paid for life or until she remarries — just like her mother is doing to me.”
Laine gripes about paying Vanessa’s mom $1,800 in spousal support every month “and clearly they don’t need it.” He said Vanessa’s mom lives like a true baller, free and clear, in one of Kobe’s mansions, courtesy of Vanessa.
“I have a six-year-old daughter and that money could be used toward her college fund or something,” says Laine. “You’d think she’d care. But no, she’s spiteful.”
