The NBA star’s widow won the legal battle and $16 million.
Vanessa Bryant won the lawsuit over the leaking of photos from the fatal helicopter crash that claimed the lives of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and their daughter in the US courts.
More specifically and as reported by the foreign media, the widow of the NBA star had claimed compensation for moral damage from the publication of the photos of the bodies of Kobe and their daughter among the police and firefighters who were at the scene and after a trial that preceded it, she the litigation and $16 million.
Let’s recall that she herself, referring to the event, had revealed that she suffered panic attacks when she learned that photos taken by workers at the sheriff’s office and LA County firefighters were published.
At the same time, another 15 million dollars was awarded to Chris Chester who also supported the charge and lost his wife and daughter in the same accident.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that during the trial he stated that he constantly lives in fear of not seeing the photos on social media. “When this whole picture thing started I felt like going out into the neighborhood and screaming,” she said with tears in her eyes. “I felt like running and diving into the water but the problem was I couldn’t escape. I was trapped in my body.
I left the house so my girls wouldn’t see me. I was devastated, I wasn’t clear minded. I trusted them. I trusted them that they would not do these things.
I now live in fear of one day going on social media and seeing them in front of me. I live in fear of my daughters walking in and appearing in front of them.
I had told the sheriff at the time of the accident: ‘since you can’t bring my babies back then please protect the area. I’m worried about the paparazzi.”
