Vanessa Bryant says family had to block fan accounts because of constant Kobe and Gianna pictures

Vanessa Bryant revealed Sunday she had to take action against an unfortunate consequence of all the social media love she and her family has received since the death of her husband, Kobe, and 13-year-old daughter, Gianna.

Posting a quick note on Instagram, Bryant said she and her 17-year-old daughter, Natalia, have had to block fan pages because of the constant pictures of Kobe and Gianna that would come up on their “Explore” pages.

Bryant made clear the blocking was not out of malice, just to help with her family’s healing.

Bryant’s Instagram page has also been private for a while, possibly for similar reasons.
