The late Kobe Bryant and daughter Gianna Bryant lost their lives earlier this year after a tragic helicopter crash that not only claimed the lives of the father and daughter but also seven other passengers as well. While close family members have given just a few glimpses at how they continue to remember and honor their relatives, Kobe’s wife Vanessa works to share what she is moved to reveal though social media but she is still grappling the tragic loss.
As answers to the crash are made public, it is now being reported that Vanessa has officially filed a lawsuit against the Los Angeles County Sheriff over leaked photos that were taken by the deputies while at the crash site. The filing states that a deputy took photos of the bodies of Kobe and Gigi, and Vanessa’s filling cites sever emotional distress for the leaked photos. The suit also reveals that deputy Sheriff Villanueva, who allegedly showed the crash site photos to a woman to impress her, attempted to cover up the situation by telling deputies to destroy and delete the photos that they took on site.
The Bryant was not informed of the pictures but found out through social media.
