Vanessa Bryant Denies Pregnancy Rumors With Help From Rihanna

Vanessa Bryant channeled her inner Bad Gal RiRi to address wild rumors spreading online … using a Rihanna meme to deny she’s pregnant five years after Kobe‘s death.

It’s unclear what exactly sparked the false information … but in usual internet form, some folks ran with it — likely for engagement — and it snowballed to the point where Bryant herself had to speak out on Sunday.

Bryant reposted a popular throwback of the “Umbrella” artist taking a dip during a vacation … which shows her flipping the bird to the cameras with a drink in hand, essentially giving “unbothered” vibes.

The caption explained it all … saying, “Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer” alongside some fun emojis.

She followed up with another RiRi meme … which also stated, “I’m not mean, I’m just not the one.”

Bryant lost her husband and 13-year-old daughter, Gigi, in the tragic helicopter crash in 2020 … and has dedicated her life to continuing the Hall of Famer’s “Mamba Mentality” and its accompanying sports foundation ever since.
