To avoid media scrutiny, she finished high school through independent study.

They married on April 18, 2001 in
Dana Point, California. Neither Bryant's parents, his two sisters, longtime advisor and agent Arn Tellem, nor Bryant's Laker teammates attended. Bryant's parents were opposed to the marriage for a number of reasons.
.^ I can still remember where I was when Kobe Bryant was accused of hurting that young woman in Colorado.
[155] This disagreement resulted in an estrangement period of over two years, which ended when Bryant had his first daughter.
The Bryants' first child, a daughter named Natalia Diamante Bryant, was born on January 19, 2003. The birth of Natalia influenced Bryant to reconcile his differences with his parents.
.^ When Shaquille O'Neal branded Bryant "the best player in the game" back in the 2001 playoffs, it has only been spoken but never printed that Kobe is the most valuable player in the league.

[9]Sexual assault allegation
.^ "This is what makes champions,"' a 21-year-old Bryant was quoted as saying.
Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera hotel in Eagle, Colorado in advance of undergoing knee surgery nearby. Faber accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room the night before Bryant was to have the procedure. Bryant admitted an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied her sexual assault allegation.
[158][159]
The accusation tarnished Bryant's reputation, as the public's perception of Bryant plummeted, and his endorsement contracts with
McDonald's and
Nutella were terminated. Sales for Bryant's replica jersey fell significantly from their previous highs.
[160]However, in September 2004 the assault case was dropped by prosecutors after Faber refused to testify in the trial. Afterward, Bryant agreed to apologize to Faber for the incident, including his public
mea culpa: "Although I truly believe this encounter between us was consensual, I recognize now that she did not and does not view this incident the same way I did."
[161] Faber filed a separate civil lawsuit against Bryant, which the two sides ultimately settled with the specific terms of the settlement being undisclosed to the public.
Endorsements

Adidas worth approximately $48 million.

Many companies like McDonald's and Ferrero SpA terminated his contracts when rape allegations against him became public.
[166] A notable exception was
Nike, Inc., who had signed him to a 5-year, $40–45 million contract just before the incident.
[167][168] However, they refused to use his image or market a new shoe of his for the year.
He has since resumed endorsement deals with
The Coca-Cola Company, through their subsidiary
Energy Brands to promote their Vitamin Water brand of drinks.

[168]In 2008 Bryant completed a pair of
viral videos showing him doing dangerous stunts to promote Nike's Hyper Dunk shoes. The first showed Bryant jumping over a speeding
Aston Martin and the second one showed Bryant with the crew of
Jackass jumping over a pool of snakes. Both videos received over 4.5 million views each on
YouTube. Bryant later hinted that the stunts were fake, as actually doing them would violate his contract with the Lakers by participating in dangerous activities. After promoting Nike's Hyperdunk shoes, Bryant came out with the fourth edition of his signature line by Nike, the Zoom Kobe IV. In 2010 Nike launched another shoe, Nike Zoom Kobe V.
[170] In 2009, Bryant signed a deal with Nubeo to market the "Black Mamba collection", a line of sports/luxury watches that range from $25,000 to $285,000.
[171]On February 9, 2009, Bryant was featured on the cover of
