Heiress Abigail Disney tweeted: “I haven’t said anything about Kobe Bryant so far because I felt some time needed to pass before weighing in. But yes, it’s time for the sledgehammer to come out. The man was a rapist. Deal with it,”.
Abigail Disney’s tweet on Wednesday was her comment in an ongoing conversation surrounding the NBA basketball legend.
Abigail Disney is the granddaughter of The Walt Disney Company’s co-founder, Roy Disney.
Attached to Abigail’s tweet was a link to an article by The Washington Post, titled: “Remembering Kobe Bryant required the hammer of truth.
The Op-ed was by David Von Drehle, an American author and journalist.
Drrehle notes in the article that ‘somewhere a woman was experiencing this outpouring of adulation for a man who choked and lacerated her during an encounter that she called rape, and which he acknowledged was very much like one’.
Mentioning that Bryant himself ‘admitted that he engaged in rough sex with his accuser, choked her so violently that she had bruises on her jawline and left her with multiple lacerations,’ he added: ‘This woman, and others like her, victimized by other accomplished, admired, even celebrated men, should not be resected from the stories of those men’s lives.’
Drehle’s op-ed ends with him opining the ‘hammer of truth’ is an imperfect tool because it will break hearts. He adds: ‘Still, it’s the best one we have.
