Vanessa Bryant issues a warning about a CBD oil scam involving Kobe Bryant: ‘Lies’

Vanessa Bryant has warned her fans about a scam related to her late husband Kobe. The article states that Kobe was a “cancer victim” who relied on CBD products.

She took to Instagram to warn her followers not to believe the online article, which includes the People magazine logo and a link to a third-party website.

According to the article, Kobe wanted to give his “little helper” – his favorite CBD oil – to his fans. In his will, he allegedly promised to send one free bottle to anyone in need; The Kobe & Vanessa Bryant Family Foundation only asks that buyers pay a shipping fee.

The article also claimed that Kobe was a cancer patient. It included a phony quote from Kobe that said, “When I got my diagnosis, I was devastated.” And once you’re in the Hall of Fame, you’re under pressure to never show a sad side.

Vanessa posted screenshots of the phony article along with the caption: “LIES! Do not be SCAMMED. Kobe NEVER USED CBD, and @people has nothing to do with this. (Take note of the fake website link.)” Vanessa and her family were dealing with the death anniversary of Kobe and Gigi when the online scam occurred.

Vanessa is doing everything she can to lift her family’s spirits and preserve Kobe’s memory and reputation.
