The filing comes weeks before the lawsuit goes to trial on Feb. 22, and days before the second anniversary of the Jan. 26, 2020 crash that killed Kobe and Gianna Bryant, as well as seven others.
Close-up photos of Kobe Bryant, daughter Gianna, and others killed in a 2020 helicopter crash were widely shared by authorities, including at special events, lawyers for Vanessa Bryant allege. “Discovery has shown that the close-up photos of Gianna and Kobe’s remains were passed around on at least twenty-eight Sheriff’s Department devices and by at least a dozen firefighters, and shown off in bars and at an awards gala,” according to a filing from Vanessa Bryant’s lawyers filed Thursday, CNN reports.
