EXPERT ON ATHLETES AND SEX SCANDALS TO APPEAR AT VANDERBILT UNIVERSITY ON SEPTEMBER 25TH AT 12 NOON
NEW YORK, NEW YORK -- If you're doing any stories on the Kobe Bryant sexual assault allegations, I'd like to offer an expert with a unique perspective on why and how super-star athletes sometimes end up in controversial sex scandals.
Brenda L. Thomas is the author of Threesome: Where Seduction, Power and Basketball Collide. For five years Ms. Thomas served as personal assistant to NBA All-Star Stephon X. Marbury of the Phoenix Suns. From that vantage point, she gleaned numerous insights into what makes pro athletes tick -- as well as what motivates their fans, members of their entourages, the countless women who flock to these high-profile celebrities, and the sexually charged culture that surrounds them.
Brenda L. Thomas will participate in a panel discussion called The Kobe Bryant Scandal: Where Do We Go From Here" hosted by the Bishop Joseph Johnson Black Cultural Center at Vanderbilt University on September 25th, 2003 from 12:00 noon to 1:30pm.
Ms. Thomas has appeared on Court TV, Fox News, CNN, Dateline NBC and most recently on the John Walsh Show to discuss her book and the NBA.
If you have an urgent deadline or need an expert for a behind the scenes perspective, Ms. Thomas, who is based in Philadelphia, can be available on short notice. She's on call 7-days a week at either 215.331.4554 or 267.738.4563. As the publisher of Threesome, I can also forward you a copy of the book for your review.
