Abigail Disney tore into NBA legend Kobe Bryant, calling him a “rapist” after his death earlier this week.
“I haven’t said anything about Kobe so far because I felt some time needed to pass before weighing in,” the granddaughter of Roy Disney, the co-founder of the Walt Disney Company, said Wednesday on Twitter. “But yes, it’s time for the sledgehammer to come out. The man was a rapist. Deal with it.”

Disney, who turned 60 last week, is known for her outspoken opinions on powerful people. Last April, she ripped into Disney CEO Bob Iger for making $65 million.
“I’m choosing to be a traitor to my class,” she said in a July interview about why she is outspoken against those in power. By her own accord, she is worth $120 million, although Disney claims she would be worth more if she had invested more aggressively.
Her latest attack on the recently deceased Bryant follows the Washington Post reinstating Tuesday a reporter who tweeted an article about the NBA superstar’s rape allegations. Bryant, 41, died Sunday in a helicopter crash along with his 13-year-old daughter Gianna.
