Eminem Was Kate Faber's First Target Before Kobe

It was late December in 2002 and Kate Faber was plotting to make her next "trophy" Eminem. Faber had an obsession that involved sleeping with celebrities long before her encounter with Kobe Bryant according to one of her best friends at the time, Laie. Faber received information about Eminem 's upcoming visit to Vail, Colorado. Faber talked with Laie and Mandy about her plan to sleep with Eminem a week before he actually arrived in Colorado. Faber tracked down the information regarding what hotel Eminem would be staying at, and when he'd be arriving. Now she knew the day and time he was scheduled to arrive. All that was left for Kate Faber to achieve her goal was to talk her friends into driving her to Vail, which was about three hours away. Almost immediately after Laie met Kate she began talking about how badly she wanted to sleep with Eminem. Faber's ultimate goal was to sleep with any celebrity, but she thought the status it would bring her if she slept with Eminem would be beyond anything she could imagine. Faber told her fiends she'd do anything if she could get an opportunity to sleep with a celebrity, but that Eminem would be the ultimate prize. The only experience she had up until that point when it came to sleeping with a celebrity was the encounter she had with a Justin Timberlake celebrity look-a-like from New York. Faber met him in line at the American Idol auditions in Austin, Texas. Kate, Mandy and Laie talked about how Kim Mathers wasn't good enough for Eminem. Kate wanted him, and she was prepared to do whatever it took to get him into bed with her.

All three times that Kate Faber either planned to sleep with, or actually slept with a "celebrity" are very similar in nature. First there was the Justin Timberlake look-a-like who she met in line during her audition for American Idol. After the audition they went out clubbing and then Kate ended up talking her way into his hotel room. When she returned home from that encounter she immediately began to brag about it and pinned the condom wrapper on her bulletin board, and referred to it as her "trophy." What most people don't realize is Kate confided to Laie and Mandy that she did this just to get back at her "boyfriend" at the time Matt, to stick it in his face, and make him jealous.

Then next was her plan to sleep with Eminem. Faber's encounter with Kobe Bryant is very similar to what she had planned in order to get Eminem into bed when he visited Colorado six months earlier. Faber wanted Laie and Mandy to drive her to the hotel where Eminem was staying. She planned to wait in the lobby of the hotel for Eminem. She planned to approach him as he entered the lobby and start a conversation with him. Then her plan was to work her way back up to his room in an attempt to sleep with him. The alternative was to find out which room he was in, and just knock on the door and work that angle. Either way Kate Faber was determined to sleep with Eminem if she could convince her friends to drive her to Veil.

Fortunately for Eminem, Laie and Mandy refused to drive her the three hours one way so Faber would have an opportunity to sleep with Eminem. In fact, and I've said this before, Eminem should contact both Laie and Mandy and give them back stage passes to his next show. For its very possible that Eminem might be the one on trial for rape right now if Kate Faber had her way.

Huck: When did Kate first tell you that she was going to be trying out for American Idol?

Laie: About a month before she when down to the audition in Austin, Texas.

Huck: When she traveled to Texas for the auditions who took her to the airport?

Laie: We did, Mandy and I.

Huck: When she returned, who picked Kate up at the Airport?

Laie: Her parents.

Huck: How long after she returned was it before you actually talked with her?

Laie: That same day.

Huck: What did Kate tell you that happened while she was down there?

Laie: She told me that she didn't make it past the first part of the auditions. And that she meet a really hot guy in line. She said that this guy that looked like Justin Timberlake and her friends went out clubbing that night. And that they went back to his hotel room at the end of the evening.

Huck: What did they do in this hotel room?

Laie: She said she slept with him and then went back to her hotel that night.

Huck: Did she say why she slept with him?

Laie: She was first attracted to him because he looked a lot like Justine Timberlake and that's why she slept with him.

Huck: Do you know if they were drinking or using drugs that night?

Laie: I don't think they used any drugs, but she said that they were drinking.

Huck: Was there any other celebrities besides Kobe Bryant had Kate stated an interest in?

Laie: One in particular that was almost an obsession was Eminem.

Huck: What did she have to say about him that lead you to believe that?

Laie: We talked about getting with him. And on one occasion he was slated to be in Vail, and she wanted Mandy and I to take her to Vail.

Huck: How did she know he was in Vail?

Laie: She had heard from one of her friends in Vail that Eminem was going to be staying at the hotel they worked at.

Huck: So this friend of Faber's worked at the hotel and told her when he'd be arriving?

Laie: Not so much when he'd be arriving, but during what time period he'd be there.

Huck: But Faber had to know that Eminem was going to be there the night she wanted you to drive her to Vail?

Laie: Yes. And you we had a place to stay if need be for a couple of days at any of her friends house's or at her parents house.

Huck: What was her plan when she arrived at the hotel he was staying at?

Laie: She wanted to meet him in the lobby and work her way up to his room.

Huck: For what purpose?

Laie: To try and sleep with him.

Huck: So in another words her intent in making this trip was to get Eminem in his hotel room so she could sleep with him. There was no other reason for her wanting to make this trip?

Laie: This was specifically to intercept Enimem and sleep with him.

Huck: Why didn't she make the trip?

Laie: Mandy and I felt it was way to far of a drive, and we didn't think she had a chance in hell of getting into his room because there would be so many damn people there. It just didn't seem feasible.

Huck: Was there any other way Kate could have made this trip besides you and Mandy driving her there?

Laie: Not unless someone came from Eagle to pick her up and bring her back. And she didn't know anybody that would do that for her.

Huck: Why was she so obsessed with Eminem?

Laie: Um, first and foremost because of how famous he was. It was impossible to not go to a magazine rack and not see his photo. And because of his face and body.

Huck: Was there anyone else she obsessed about as much as Eminem?

Laie: No. Not even close.

Huck: Do you see any similarities in her encounters with the Justin Timberlake look-a-like and Kobe Bryant. And what she had planned as a means to get to Eminem?

Laie: Just the fact that all three had celebrity status. That she was willing to do a six hour round trip drive over just a possibility that she might get to Eminem. That she either used, or wanted to use their hotel room as the place she slept with them.

Huck: From what you know of Kate Faber. Is there anything that leads you to believe that she didn't put herself in a position with Kobe Bryant for the sole purpose of having sex with him because he was a celebrity?

Laie: No.

Huck: From your prior experiences with Kate Faber. Do you believe her intention, from the moment she decided to go up to his room, was to have sex with Kobe Bryant?

Laie: I believe that was her intention from the second she found out he was going to be there.

Huck: Again, from your past experiences with Kate Faber do you believe that she was raped by Kobe Bryant.

Laie: No I don't believe that.

Huck: Do you believe that she is lying about being raped, and is using this for the sole purpose of getting the attention she's received by claiming he raped her?

Laie: Yes.

Huck: In your past experiences with Kate Faber as a friend, have you know her to lie to keep herself out of trouble?

Laie: Yeah.

Huck: Can you give me any examples of this?

Laie: She always lied to her parents by telling them she was going to class when she wasn't. Because she knew they'd take away her car and funding if they found out she wasn't going to class. She lied to guys by telling them by saying she didn't have a boyfriend when she was still going out with Matt. She lied to Laura when she told her she wasn't sleeping with the guy she was dating, but she was sleeping with him. There were other incidents but this is what comes to mind right now.

Huck: You told us about the other time she had slept with three guys over a three day period before. With that said, do you believe its possible that she slept with one guy before Kobe Bryant, and one guy after Kobe Bryant when she claimed she was raped by him?

Laie: Yes.

Huck: So that wouldn't be totally out of character for her?

Laie: No.

Huck: From what you know of Kate. What do you think her reason or motive would be for claiming that Kobe Bryant raped her?

Laie: To become famous or infamous, which ever way you want to look at it.

Huck: Do you think Kate is capable of manipulating people around her in to taking her side on the issue of whether or not she was rape?

Laie: Yes.

Huck: Would it be out of character for Kate to talk about her sexual experiences with others after they occurred?

Laie: Not at all. After she slept with other guys when you were friends, she 'd come back and discuss what happened with you.

Huck: Does it surprise you, as was reported by Michelle Hofland of NBC, that Kate was at a party about two weeks after the alleged raped telling everyone about it. Including the fact that she was describing parts of Kobe Bryant's anatomy?

Laie: No. Especially if what she saw with regards to his anatomy was out of the norm. I've heard 13 inches, but I don't know.

Huck: As well as you knew Kate would you believe that if she was raped by Kobe Bryant, that she'd have sex with another person hours after it took place.

Laie: No. It would be odd that her or any rape victim would have sex immediately afterwards.

Huck: The time that you spoke of where she had sex and ended up bleeding afterwards. Did Kate have sex with anyone within the next 24 yours that you knew of after that occurred?

Laie: No.

Huck: Did she express any reluctance in having sex again after that had happened?

Laie: No.

Huck: Did any of your discussing revolve around how long it would take for these injuries to heal?

Laie: No.

Huck: Did she talk about seeing a doctor about those injuries, or have any concerns with regards to those injuries at the time?

Laie: No. She had concerns, but after talking to me. I explained that in that position if the guy was larger than average it could cause those types of injuries.

Huck: So before she had sex with Kobe Bryant. And based on her previous experience and your discussion with her the first time she experienced this type of bleeding. She would have been well aware of the fact that having sex with him in that position could easily cause bleeding if he was larger than average?

Laie: Yes.

Huck: So it would be fare to say she knew there was a good possibility that there would be evidence of her bleeding before she even had sex with Kobe Bryant afterwards?

Laie: Yes.

Huck: In your opinion is there anything that leads you to believe that Kate Faber would have been raped by Kobe Bryant. And if not, do you believe she is just using this claim that she was raped to get attention?

Laie: From what I know, I don't believe she was raped. That she's just using this to bring attention to herself.
