“Winning seems to absolve many things. So does money.”
Some people choose to look the other way when it comes to Kobe Bryant’s sexual assault case. Many celebrities are given a pass when it comes to sexual assault and other crimes as well. People will dwell on it for a short period of time then purposely choose to forget about it because they don’t want to associate their favorite celebrity with their cruel actions. I think everyone who sexually assaults someone should be held accountable. When it comes to regular people, people will hold them accountable for their actions. You can’t pick and choose who you want to condemn when it comes to committing sexual assault or causing any harm towards another person. Having a high status in society doesn’t take away from act committed towards an innocent person. The victim now has to deal with that trauma for the rest of her life. Kobe Bryant did make a claim taking some accountability for what he did. And yes it is possible to change as a person and I believe he probably feels guilty and bad about the situation. I do believe he made change in his life especially after having his children but it does not justify his actions. I don’t believe it is unforgivable but people shouldn’t justify it just because he is famous.
