Basketball legend Kobe Bryant has been denied entry into the prestigious Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, despite winning an Oscar earlier this year for Best Animated Short Film.
The 39-year-old retired L.A. Laker won an Oscar as an executive producer and writer for “Dear Basketball,” an obscure film project which very few people actually saw.
Oscar winners automatically qualify to be considered for Film Academy membership, but some candidates are rejected for a variety of reasons.
According to TMZ.com, Academy board members cited a lack of film experience for the rejection, as their rules state producers should “have the equivalent of 2 producer screen credits.”
Members may have also frowned upon Kobe’s 2003 rape case, which doesn’t “reflect the high standards of the Academy”.
Kobe can take comfort in the fact that he will be welcomed into the NBA Hall of Fame in 2019 for his legendary on-court exploits.

He officially withdrew…..this is fake news
Hmmm alternative facts ???

^^^^^^^^^^
Fukk that Academy and their fake ass high standards supposedly allegedly. Sure he fukked some cave demon in her already bleeding ass but is Woody, Roman, and fat ass Harvey part of the Academy? If so and this is TRULY a reason…then BRUH. NOPE.
I cant stand Kobe. Never could. But this some BS
Welp can’t win em all.
he probably dont give a rats ass anyways…soooo
Lol…
I’m sure it had nothing to do with a rape case. People actually go to school for opportunities like that and some spend their whole life’s perfecting their craft to be given an opportunity of that caliber. What has Kobe done besides write a few lines and executive produce an hour long documentary about HIS life? There are somethings in life that short cuts and money can’t buy.
One DOC doesn’t get you to the Film Academy.
In that case it shouldn’t be able to win an award from said Academy
lol this is exactly what I said after I finished reading!
Well he just got to do something else… Then he will be in there.
Sandra, I want to know the scoop of why it doesn’t seem like any media outlets are posting about Teyana Taylor’s album. Did the word go out not to post yet… it seems kind of weird
We are here
If he won seems like he should be in, but what do I know tho…
you probably wouldn’t know this Sandra, but the ads that normally run on your page feature zergnet stories, and the very first link is a story on Harvey Weinstein!
i’m gonna guess that Kobi was rejected for lack of film credits and NOT for rape allegations, LOL!
*faints*
i just posted on Harvey’s rapey azz, Lol!
No. It really does have to do with it I just read. #MeToo was cited.

Chile he should fit right on in then https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cb784b50c1e075c0c7f39f709a7c7b60b07da1a49ba86d27d24d134f70687920.gif
Chile okay …. Cause man

But yet they allow rapists(Harvey W. etc), and pedophiles(Woody Allen, and Roman Polanski etc.) FOHWTBS
That hue does something to them EVERY time…
Kobe can go straight to hell and burn with his money. Another rich brother that has done nothing for the black.community that supported his black azz.
Just went and read. Was Formally charged.
Not true. Its out there. He has helped. I dont even like Kobe or his Count Chocula looking ass wife, but no. They have done some good in LA for at risk and in need kids. Many of which are minority
Don’t care abt him or his vampire looking spouse.
Meh….
You mean to tell me his yt girl ticket he had in his pocket/on his arm didn’t provide him access?
That rape case from that dick in his pocket against a yt girl denied his access. one canceled out the other
they don’t hear you though, smh
and, it’s not even just the men. those revered hollywood screen legend starlettes got plenty of secret skeletons in those gilded crypts.
marlene deitrich (sp?) had a daughter who claimed she was sexually abused by her mother And her friends! we know Joan Crawford abused her adoptive kids, and Charlize Theron’s adoptive kids could prob benefit from a welfare check too. it’s plenty of ‘aint sh*t’ folks in show business.
then i guess that’s sufficient…. never mind he wasn’t convicted or that HER friends outed her as a hoe AND a lie… oh well…
*shakes violently*
“No more wire hangerrrssssssss!”
‘on his arm’ ain’t a ‘lily’
*cackles*
LMAO!!!!!!
You aren’t lying. Hollywood has nothing but perverts…men and women.
LMAO!!!!!!!!!
go ‘way with this…. Jed Clampet, smh….. ROFL!!!
They view Nessa as a true wetback.
Oh, i had tried not to….. umm….. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/615d380290005c75f2b73b61063d678adb00cb683258e4273a2f5c12b8d5723d.gif
So I guess as long as youre accused being found not guilty doesnt matter.
That’s been the narrative this whole time before they found bill Cosby guilty they had already took everything before there were any charges and the list goes on. Ppl can accuse you now of something and you lose everything before you ever go to court IF you ever go to court. It’s shameful the only thing is this will effect more black men than anyone else. Just watch and see.
There are MANY actors that are members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences that have done FAR WORSE.
Also Kobe DID NOT rape that woman who had multiple men’s DNA inside of her after examinations of her vagina.
Kobe is VERY gifted he will more than qualify sooner than they think.
Its such a shame….I would say its guilty until proven innocent, but here is Kobe’s case where he was found innocent and still it hinders him in some way.
Hopefully he is working on a second film, and see what their so white Oscar’s excuse will be. SMH!
But don’t she dress like it!? They dont want to get used to seeing her in fluffy ruffles and shht…she is so tacky and it doesnt have to be that way.
Is it out yet? I think people are put off by the 7 tracks. That’s not an album, it’s an EP.
FILMS are oftentimes “ONE OFFS” meaning that the person producing it might have decided to wake up shoot a film or doc and magically it wins an award. HOWEVER: to become an ACADEMY member one has to be in the arts as a “CAREER” and have a body of work over a good period of time.
It is suppose to be out, but it’s not on any streaming sites yet. They had the Listening party last night though. I have seen coverage on every album this past 5 weeks except hers.
She ain’t black eitha’.
Basically. LOL He still a nigra in a coupe. LMAO
He must not be a Mason, because they be doing him dirty. Why is the rape case still relevant? She had various other guys sperm in her, it was threw out cause she was a Thot…they set him up and be messing with him.
guess she’s borderline….
*sniggles*
Neva!
she look a hot azz mess from head to waist and probably to her toes as well.
Thank you!
THIS
!!!!
Count Chocula looking ass wife. so true.
haha!
this makes sense to me.
I could careless about Kobe’s self hating ass??
Wondering wtf this almost billionaire sees in this dirty Latino!?!?!
Wow I am surprised the Me Too Movement haven’t got him kicked out and even allowed him to get an Oscar…
Thank you.
No means no!
Criminal Courts found him “not guilty”….
Court of public opinion did not!
A HUGE number of people feel he is/was GUILTY!
Thats pure hate for Kobe as the evidence stated differently….the chick had 3 different s3men samples in her.
That does not make him any less guilty.
No means No!
She says she said No!
I believe they settled that case.
She could’ve gone after him in civil court.
** diff rules there!**
It doesn’t make him guilty……She didn’t go after him in civil court, I wonder why……because she had no credibility. It makes no sense to settle with someone on he said she said, with an accuser who had multiple dna strings inside her. If anything the accusation came after Kobe failed to pay her for her services
Kobe was the face of the Lakers… so a settlement would be required to make it go away.
****************************************
“Kobe Bryant was just nominated for an Oscar. I believe that he raped a woman,” wrote Jesse Thorn of the podcast network Maximum Fun. “To avoid criminal conviction, he settled out of court, and read an apology in court saying he believed she did not feel the sex was consensual.”
who cares….yawns…..
Raypst don’t rape once.
Well this rapist has learned that NO means NO!
Oh ok.. sure he did ? especially after ‘getting away with it’ on a public stage?…. you just hate Kobe.
I don’t hate Kobe… I do hate what he did!
His wife was given a million dollar ring.
Their marriage survived!
No winners in this…
You have some problem with him as you have decided he’s guilty based on your feelings and a quote from a yt man, voting to hinder his grow in other segments of life other than dribbling a ball. I guess our legal system only fails when black men are found innocent…..Based on a yt woman who obviously phooks for a living…..prior to this accusation Kobe has no ill past or run in with the law and what he did was ALLEGED….I just get confused as to why hes not granted the benefit of the doubt…. Other than dislike for him, I cant see why anyone would wholehearted believe he is guilty beyond any doubt….and that hes had no priors or subsequent incidents ….when its proven ray pits dont stop until they are caught and only increase their activities when they arent punished and get over on the law.
ha ha *in ny Nelson from the Simpsons voice*
No Problem here…
Kobe gave a STATEMENT in open court.
So it is NOT my opinion… a YT man’s opinion… or a YT victim’s opinion… it is FACT!
Kobe got away with the assault and did well with his life afterwards.
Nothing WORSE than someone that defends bad behavior! It doesn’t matter if the woman had sex with others…. she says she said NO to Kobe.
Kobe is a great ball player… I could give a rats azz about him otherwise!
