Accusations can ruin someoneโs life if they donโt have the platform to convince everyone who believes the accusations otherwise. Kobe was rich and popular, he had the means. But like a random dude who does get falsely accused would not have those means and is likely cooked forever
So if Kobe wasn't rich and popular, you think the accusation would've ruined his life? Even though he literally admitted to it after hearing the victims testimony?? Idk, I understand Kobe was extremely good at basketball but talent can only get you so far. He was a charismatic and likeable guy, and i feel like if that applies to you then you can convince ppl to be on your side, even if you're in the wrong.
