As per a recent report by The Guardian, Bryant's wife Vanessa filed a federal lawsuit against the LA County Sheriff’s Department after a deputy and firefighter leaked photos from the crash site.  Vanessa Bryant’s attorney Luis Li claimed that the photos were leaked for “visual gossip” and viewed “for a laugh”, serving no official purpose and further argued that “They were shared by deputies playing video games. They were shared repeatedly with people who had absolutely no reason to receive them.”
