Vanessa Bryant has filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva, alleging that several of his deputies shared photos of the helicopter crash that killed her husband and daughter, Kobe and Gianna Bryant, and seven others in January.
The Los Angeles Times was the first to report on Tuesday that deputies had allegedly shared the photos. The Associated Press also had the details on the lawsuit:
Vanessa Bryant was “shocked and devastated” by the reports, the lawsuit states.
The suit seeks damages for negligence, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
