Vanessa Bryant Names Officers Who Allegedly Took Kobe Helicopter Crash Photos

Vanessa Baryant sued a Los Angeles County sheriff and his department. The officers followed Kobe Bryant’s helicopter crash and took some photos. These guys literally took personal cellphone photos of the bodies of Kobe and Gigi.

“According to the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, ‘no fewer than 8 sheriff’s deputies at the crash site, pulled out their personal cell phones and snapped photos of the dead children, parents and coaches. The deputies took these photos for their own personal gratification,’” according to TMZ. “The lawsuit goes onto allege the photos were the subject of conversation within the sheriff’s dept … with deputies showing their colleagues the pictures that had no investigative purpose.”

Vanessa didn’t like the fact that the officers took unauthorized photos of the tragedy that killed her husband and daughter. Vanessa’s lawsuit sought unspecified damages and this also includes punitive damages. Kobe’s widow has not only had to deal with the tragedy, but also had to worry about the possibility of the photos from the basketball legend ang Gigi leaking to the public.

She won a decision in her favor and decided to share the names of the officers involved in the incident.

Vanessa Bryant confronts officers who took Kobe crash photos

Kobe and eight others died in the crash in January 2020. They were on their way to a basketball game minutes north of LA.

Kobe’s death shocked the entire world and people have a hard time accepting the loss. The Los Angeles Lakers won the championship inside the Orlando bubble in honor of the Black Mamba. It was the best tribute for the five-time NBA champion.

Vanessa had to deal with so much lately. She went after rapper Meek Mill for disrespecting Kobe in his track. She also criticized actress Evan Rachel Wood for calling her husband a “rapist” in a tweet she wrote on the day of his tragic death.

Hopefully, the Bryant family will find a way to overcome this tragedy. Vanessa lost her partner and daughter, and she can’t really move on with her life. There’s so much going on at the moment. Let’s not forget that her mother made things even more difficult for her.
