Who is Katelyn Faber?

Katelyn Faber is an alleged sexual assault victim of the now-deceased basketball player, Kobe Bryant, accusing the sportsman in 2003 of raping her in his room at the Cordillera Hotel.

Although prior to the accusation, the police had labeled Katelyn a “danger to herself” referring to her apparent mental health issues, Katelyn did receive a substantial settlement the following year in a civil lawsuit she filed after she opted not to stand trial. Kobe remained adamant throughout that the sex had been consensual, although he initially denied having any involvement with Katelyn until evidence was provided to the contrary.

While Katelyn Faber received a hefty settlement after the court case, the entire situation brought a lot of stress to Kobe Bryant and his family, due to which his wife had a miscarriage.

What Happened to Katelyn Faber? Is She Still in the Spotlight?

Remember Katelyn Faber, the woman who accused Kobe Bryant of sexual assault back in the early 2000s? Well, she’s been keeping a low profile since then. These days, she’s a mom and has left her singing dreams behind (sorry, American Idol). Katelyn is now living a simple life with her partner, Cort Colon, and their little one.

But wait, why are we talking about Katelyn again? Oh right, because some people just can’t let things go. After Kobe’s tragic passing in January 2020, journalist Gayle King brought up the old sexual assault case in an interview. This didn’t sit well with some celebrities, like Snoop Dogg and Lil Boosie, who called out Gayle for being insensitive during a difficult time for Kobe’s family and the black community as a whole (thanks, BLM).
