A lawyer representing Vanessa Bryant and three companies — Kobe Inc., Kobe Investments, LLC and 17/21 Investments, LLC — submitted a petition to confirm the arbitration award to Orange County Superior Court on Monday. A copy of that agreement and a copy of Gupta’s written decision were included with the documents filed in court this week. Carter also lost on three separate causes of action filed against Kobe Inc., looking for “millions more,” the documents state, regarding a post-employment payout. Carter also had initially filed three additional causes of action against Kobe Inc. and Vanessa Bryant for “gender discrimination” and “harassment,” according to the court documents. In his report, Gupta wrote that “throughout her employment and after, Carter has made negative statements about Bryant, Vanessa Bryant and the family” and “made racial statements about Bryant and Black people,” as well as Asians.
