Vanessa Bryant plans to donate the $16 million verdict she won in her suit against Los Angeles County to the sports nonprofit founded by her husband, Kobe Bryant.
The widow said she was giving the sum to the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation “to shine a light on Kobe and Gigi’s legacy,” the Los Angeles Times reported.
The charity, launched by Kobe Bryant after his retirement in 2016 as the Mamba Sports Foundation — a nod to his nickname, the Black Mamba — provides funding and sports programming for young athletes in underserved communities, according to its website.
The foundation was renamed in 2020 after the 41-year-old NBA legend and his 13-year-old daughter Gianna were killed in a helicopter crash, according to the report.

ABOUT
Anthony Peterson, known better as AP G. is a seasoned multi-genre artist who has had an inspirational life trajectory. By 2014, AP G. had spent over 7 years deep in drug addiction which brought with it the experiences of homelessness, criminal activity, violence, drug dealing, and loss of life. One spring afternoon in 2014 AP G. took a fatal overdose of heroin but was miraculously revived. He said, “laying on that bathroom floor I never thought the black could get darker than that, but I was wrong and it did.” Things only got worse and worse for the aspiring artist. What followed was 3 long hard years culminating in him experiencing his 4th drug overdose and a heart attack. It was finally enough for him. He decided in that he must be meant for more and he got clean and healthy and hasn’t looked back. Now AP G. only looks forward to an extremely bright future with successful endeavors in a variety of areas.
AP G. has been fighting to spread his message of living a life of love and positivity. AP G. has involvement in recovery programs stating, “I always say if I can reach just one person who is at the end of their line and get them to just try for life one more time then it was worth saving my life.” He remains a strong supporter of adoption as he simply but inspirationally puts it, “I want to save as many kids as I can, I never new my father and faced daily abuse as a young boy so I made it my mission to do everything I can to change things for as many as I can. Ultimately I hope to die completely broke because I want to give it all away before I die.” AP G. also supports numerous other charities including military servicemember suicide prevention, homelessness and the newly formed Path 2 Prosperity with his record label Path 2 Entertainment.
When asked to describe himself, the hard-working artist simply commented, “I came through the depths of hell to show everyone no matter how far you fell you can choose to move to a better place and have success from spreading love, positivity and living well. Treat everyone how you would like to be treated and do your best through every test and whatever comes next you will beat it.”

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — DDA Multnomah County grand jury has ordered Walmart to pay $4.4 million in damages to a man who sued the store, saying he was racially profiled & harassed by a Walmart employee at a Portland, Oregon, area store in 2020.
According to the lawsuit the employee “spied” on Michael Mangum while shopping, ordered him to leave and called police when he refused.
Mangum, who was 59 at the time, visited the Walmart to buy a light bulb for his refrigerator. After Mangum arrived, he noticed store employee Joe Williams watching him as he shopped.
Williams told Mangum to leave the store, but Mangum refused, saying he’d done nothing wrong. Williams told Mangum he was going to call the police & tell them Mangum had threatened to “smash him in the face.”
Williams called the non-emergency police dispatch line & told the operator he “had a person refusing to leave.”
Deputies from the Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office responded & “refused to take action against Mangum.” Deputies made that decision based on Williams’ “shifting explanations” for the reason he called & because of his “reputation for making false reports to police.”
The next day, Sheriff’s Sergeant Bryan White & another deputy met with the director of the Walmart & explained that deputies had noticed a “pattern of behavior” in which Williams would call police to report “dangerous active situations, such as customers physically assaulting him or other employees,” that were not happening.
Walmart corporate officials kept him on the job for several more months & fired him in July 2020 for “mishandling $35 of Walmart property.”

LOS ANGELES (AP) — A California man who smuggled more than 1,700 wild animals into the United States, including 60 reptiles hidden in his clothing, pleaded guilty Wednesday to federal charges.
Jose Manuel Perez, 30, of Oxnard, entered pleas to 2 counts of smuggling & a charge of wildlife trafficking.
Prosecutors said that from 2016 to this February, Perez & his accomplices used social media to arrange to smuggle animals from Mexico & Hong Kong. Most were reptiles & included Yucatan box turtles, Mexican box turtles, baby crocodiles & Mexican beaded lizards.
It is illegal to import the animals without permits under an international treaty on the trade of endangered species.
Perez paid accomplices a crossing fee to drive animals from Mexico to El Paso, Texas, where he had them shipped to his family’s Ventura County home & resold them to customers throughout the U.S.
He also made some 3 dozen trips to Mexico himself to pick up animals & on Feb. 25 he was arrested while trying to enter the U.S. with 60 reptiles hidden in bags of his clothing. 3 of the reptiles died.
The smuggled reptiles were worth about $739,000.
Perez fled to Tijuana in June while out on bond but was quickly captured & returned to the U.S. He could face up to 20 years in federal prison for each smuggling count when he’s sentenced on Dec. 1.
