Following the announcement of the lawsuit, Vanessa hit back at her mother, explaining that she and Kobe have supported Sofia for years. She said: “She took care of our girls from time to time, as most grandparents do. she did not deal with business matters or expenses. She was a grandmother who was supported by me and her son-in-law at my request. Now she wants to charge me $ 96 per hour for supposedly working 12 hours a day for 18 years to care for her grandchildren.”
