Vanessa Bryant Being Sought Out For VH1 “Basketball Wives” Series Role

If producers of the reality TV show Basketball Wives have their way Vanessa Bryant will soon be appearing on their series. According to a VH1 source the shows producers are attempting to put together an offer she simply can’t refuse.

According to sources if she’s not a regular on the show she’ll at least be a “recurring character” that joins the storyline.

One source tells TMZ:

“Vanessa has more than enough storyline and would bring the show to another level.”

The timing of the deal arrives after it was discovered that Vanessa Bryant bagged at least $75 million in her divorce settlement along with three homes in Newport Beach, California that are said to be worth a combined $18.8 million.

People close to the production say the shows creators have wanted Vanessa Bryant on the show all along but didn’t believe she would be receptive to the idea.

Following the couples divorce Vanessa recently acknowledged that Kobe Bryant has slept with at least 105 women.

Considerations were also recently made because Basketball Wives is now one of the highest rated shows on VH1 which has afforded producers with more money to offer Vanessa Bryant.

If she accepts the deal the former wife of Kobe Bryant would immediately become the star of the Los Angeles scene for the show.

Would you be more likely to tune in for an episode of Basketball Wives if Vanessa Bryant was part of the hoopla? Or would you rather skip the series entirely and watch an NBA game starring Kobe Bryant?
