LA Lakers basketball star Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa Bryant is being sued by their former housekeeper, who claims Vanessa was incredibly abusive – even demanding that she put her hand in a bag of dog feces to retrieve a tag from her blouse.

According to TMZ, Maria Jimenez has alleged that Mrs. Bryant referred to her, at times, as “lazy, slow, dumb, a f*****g liar, and f*****g s**t.”

In the lawsuit filed in Superior Court in Orange County, Jimenez claims Vanessa accused her of stealing her (mouth) retainer.

Jimenez says it got so bad — Vanessa allegedly “badgered, harassed and humiliated Maria by yelling and screaming at Maria and criticizing her in front of Kobe, the Bryants’ children, employees and other people in the household” — she threatened to quit but Kobe talked her out of it.

SMH!!! Who knew the Bryants got down like that?
