Malone was not only famous for this incident. Although not to the same extent, he almost fought Bryant for Vanessa Hudgens. Karl Malone had allegedly said something inappropriate to Bryant’s wife.

Rob Pelinka in an interview with ESPN revealed:

“Karl and his son were at the match sitting in the front row. Vanessa was on the cell phone with Karl’s wife, Kay, and Vanessa said that her son seemed bored. Kay told her to call Karl so her son could join her in her seat. Kay gave her Vanessa Karl’s cell phone number and she called him. When she called, Karl’s response was, ‘Why don’t you come over here, sit next to me and give me a big hug?

‘ Vanessa said, ‘Why? So that?’ And Karl said, ‘If you do that, it’ll be on the cover of every magazine in the country.’”

“Vanessa didn’t know what to say because it was the first time she had spoken to Malone without Kobe or Kay being around. Carl continued. ‘Do you like me?’ Malone asked her, to which Vanessa replied, ‘Like my friend, Kay’s husband.'”

Malone was a shadowy character. He deserves much more scrutiny and backlash for his actions. Do you think he shouldn’t be celebrated?
