Kobe Bryant’s divorce came as a surprise – to no one. After his sexual assault case back in 2003 (for which he admitted in cheating on his wife), we knew it was only a matter of time before she came to her senses.

Sure enough, on Friday, Vanessa Bryant filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences.” So what made her finally pull the plug? Well, her fellow basketball wives, according to TMZ.

That’s right, Kobe’s so-called basketball “friends” told their wives about all his adulterous exploits and though we’re sure the ladies promised not to pass the secret along, they kept to the “code” and gave the heads-up to Vanessa (probably in hopes that, if the situation were ever reverse, she would do the same for them.)
