Vanessa Bryant has responded to the tell-all interview her mum Sofia Laine has given, in which she revealed some "beyond hurtful" details about their relationship.
Vanessa - who earlier this year tragically lost her husband Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna to a helicopter crash - is facing yet another heartbreaking situation, this time with her mother.
In an interview with Univision, Sofia said that Vanessa forced her out of her family home after the tragedy, as well as made her return a car she used.
She claimed: "She told me, 'I need you to get out of this house.' She also told me that she wanted her car and she wants it now."
Branding her mother's remarks as "beyond hurtful", Vanessa decided to respond to Sofia with a lengthy statement, in which she detailed what's been going on since the tragedy took place in January.
She told People : "My husband and daughter passed away unexpectedly and yet my mom has the audacity to do an interview on TV talking negatively about me while shedding tears about a car and home that wasn't in her name.
"She has removed all her diamond jewellery, emptied her apartment that I provide, and put the furniture in storage to appear as though she is without support."
She continued: "My husband and I have financially supported her over the past 20 years, and I continue to do so, in addition to her monthly alimony.
"Contrary to previous reports, she has not been physically present or emotionally supportive for my daughters and me after my husband and daughter passed away.
"Going forward, I see what is most important to my mom and it is beyond hurtful. I hope this public airing of our personal relations will stop here."
Vanessa suffered inconceivable heartache when Kobe and Gigi were killed in a helicopter crash on January 26.
The mum-of-four has kept the memory of her loved ones alive with a number of touching messages on social media, and stayed strong for her daughters Bianka, Capri and Natalia.
The LA Lakers hero was one of nine people to be killed when their helicopter crashed in Calabasas.
The others killed in the horror crash included 13-year-old Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, 46, 14-year-old Alyssa Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, 46, John Altobelli, 56, Christina Mauser, 38, and 50-year-old pilot Ara Zobayan.
