Five years after Kobe’s death, Vanessa Bryant used a Rihanna meme to refute widespread online claims that she was pregnant, channeling her inner Bad Gal RiRi.
The exact cause of the erroneous information is unknown, but in typical online fashion, some people took it to heart, perhaps in an attempt to interact, and it got so out of hand that Bryant herself had to come out on Sunday.
Bryant tweeted a well-liked old video of the “Umbrella” singer swimming while on vacation. It purports to show her flipping the bird to the cameras while sipping a drink, giving off a “unbothered” look.

“Me protecting my peace, not pregnant & having fun all summer” was the caption, which also included some amusing emojis.
Another RiRi meme that she shared later said, “I’m not mean, I’m just not the one.”
