Apparently Calabasas retailer turned reality TV star Khloe Kardashian is not impressing her fellow Laker wives.

Reports from tabloids are that Vanessa Bryant, Kobe's wife who got an alleged consolation diamond ring valued at $4 million after her husband was involved in an alleged rape scandal, is crying "fake wife" and shunning the reality TV star.

Long suffering Bryant reportedly does not want to share the Los Angeles Laker courtside with newcomer Khloe Kardashian.

In Touch Weekly writes: "Khloe Kardashian is feeling unloved--not because of her husband, Lamar Odom, but because of one of his Lakers teammates' wives. According to an insider, Kobe Bryant's wife, Vanessa, 'hates' Khloe and her entire family, whom she sees as attention-grabbing fame-seekers.
And instead of hiding her feelings, Vanessa refuses to have anything to do with the 26-year-old. "She won't sit anywhere near Khloe at Lakers games," the insider reveals, adding that because of Vanessa's dislike of her, Khloe has been shut out of the tight-knit circle the other Lakers' wives have formed. "At a dinner for the wives, Vanessa didn't want to invite Khloe," the insider shares. "She said Khloe is a 'fake wife,' and she didn't want fake wives there." The feeling is mutual. The insider says Khloe and Vanessa have "gotten into fights" in the past. And at the Lakers' NBA Finals game on June 17, Khloe brought Lamar's two children, as well as her mom, Kris, and siblings Kim, Rob, Kendall and Kylie--and they all stayed far away from Vanessa.

Celebrity blogger Michael K summed it up: "If Vanessa didn't marry a gazillionaire, she'd be right next to my cousin stocking the shelves with Goya at Northgate Market in El Monte (which is hotter than being married to Kobe Bryant, to be honest)."
