kobe and vanessa's marriage. >> there is a time where the child just wants to just to go out and be on his own. and that time came for me. >> and go, whoosh! >> come on. >> come on, come on, come on. >> come on, come on, push push push push. >> joe and pam, the two sisters, they stay around for a little bit, but at a certain point, they do move back to philly because they don't really have that relationship anymore. it was just really devastating to see because i so admired what they had as a family. >> my mother and father, the people that are there i can rely on, i can count on whenever i need something. and i love them with all my heart. my sisters as well. they've always been there for me. ever since i was a little kid. they were like my shield and the sword fight. you know, they've always been there

for me, protecting me from right and wrong. >> it's like, well, how does that get fractured so quickly? because he gets married. how does that go away so quickly? >> this is the point where you start to see the people who had been in kobe's inner circle start to fall away. kobe wants to take control of his own life. he wants the opportunity to make his own mistakes, and he's going to end up making them. >> charges were filed against kobe. >> bryant in connection with the alleged assault of a 19 year old hotel employee. >> shock went through my mind, like for real? >> you fought matthew. >> did you have sexual intercourse with him? >> i think. >> he realized at that point that he was not invincible.
