Basketball star Kobe Bryant blames himself for his wife Vanessa's miscarriage in 2004

Basketball star Kobe Bryant says his wife Vanessa Bryant miscarried in 2004 during the thick of his rape case in Colorado and says he blames no one but himself.



He opened up about the situation in his Showtime documentary "Muse"  and while he never specifically mentions the case, it's crystal clear what he's talking about, according to TMZ.

During the segment titled "2004",  the year of the hearing (which was eventually dismissed when the accuser refused to testify), Kobe said:

"We were expecting ... and um ... expecting our second child during that time ... and there was just so much stress, she actually, she actually miscarried. It's something ... I have a real hard time dealing with that 'cause I felt like it was just my fault."

Kobe added, "The reality is it happened because of me ... that's something I have to deal with. Something I gotta carry forever."

Kobe also praised Vanessa saying she could have left him and taken half of his money but didn't.
