One is rooted in fact, while the other is rooted on speculation or at a minimum, incomplete facts/evidence.
As far as bringing up Cosby, that’s a false equivalency since Cosby was convicted of a crime and is serving time in prison. In other words, the facts/evidence support the allegations. Also, there’s multiple allegations against Cosby that span several decades. That’s not the case for Kobe.

So if someone accused you of chocking them, forcing them to perform oral sex on you and then holding them bent over a chair while you forcibly raped them would you pay them to go away, or would you use your extreme wealth to defend yourself, your reputation and your multimillion dollar career and endorsements?
My point is simple....the list of deeply flawed rich famous people is very long, lets not make them out to be something they are not because they were rich and famous, were great musicians, actors, athletes or politician.....
