God help us: Latasha Byears has filed a wrongful termination suit against the Sparks.

The suit alleges that, after the fateful party at Byears's house, coach Karleen Thompson falsely claimed that Byears and three men had assaulted a former teammate. Byears says she was unfairly terminated based on the false allegation.

Her complaint compares her treatment by Jerry Buss's organization with Kobe's treatment. When Kobe was accused of rape, "[t]hey helped pay for chartered flights for Bryant's court appearances ... and issued several public statements of support," while Byears was "immediately terminated and banished from the organization."

Byears also alleges that she was fired, in part, because she is a lesbian.
