Vanessa Bryant, the widow of NBA legend Kobe Bryant, called on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department to identify deputies who shared photos of the crash that killed her husband and their 13-year-old daughter.
Bryant, who is suing the department, posted a statement to her Instagram Stories on Saturday saying the sheriff's department wants to redact deputies' names.
She said that that was a double standard and that the deputies must be held accountable "just like everyone else ".
Bryant referred to a sexual assault allegation against Kobe Bryant, writing, "Kobe's name was released when he was accused in 2003.
A lawsuit alleged last year that county employees "showed off" photos of the remains of Kobe Bryant and Gianna Bryant after the helicopter crash that killed them and seven other people.
Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva said last year that he was horrified upon learning that deputies had shared photos of the crash and ordered them to be deleted.
Wood said the crash was "tragic" and called Kobe Bryant a sports hero before saying he was "also a rapist.". »
