Vanessa Bryant simply got a heck of a lot more cash from L.A. County after her preliminary $15 million win in 2015 … another $13 mil approximately, in truth, which now represents her kids.
Kobe Bryant‘s widow has actually settled with L.A. County, totaling up to an overall of $28.8 million — this according to her legal representative, who states this deals with both Vanessa’s initial grievance and subsequent award … in addition to any possible future claims from her enduring children.
Unclear when, however it appears Vanessa changed her preliminary lawsuit to include 20-year-old Natalia, 6-year-old Bianka and 3-year-old Capri as prospective petitioners down the roadway. Namely, if the supposed photo-sharing of their dad and sibling’s remains from the helicopter crash in 2020 triggered them increasing tension throughout the years, they might choose the correct time and take legal action against.
Vanessa’s legal representative, Luis Li, states, “Today marks the successful culmination of Mrs. Bryant’s courageous battle to hold accountable those who engaged in this grotesque conduct.” He includes, “She fought for her husband, her daughter, and all those in the community whose deceased family were treated with similar disrespect. We hope her victory at trial and this settlement will put an end to this practice.”
You’ll recall … Vanessa really went to trial over this, taking the stand with psychological testament about how the idea of those photos of Kobe and Gigi‘s stays potentially being dripped out openly tortured her — something a jury concurred with in the end.
They awarded her $16M … however a mil got torn down later due to a clerical mistake. Vanessa and her group had actually formerly stated she’d be donating the money from this to her Mamba & Mambacita Sports Foundation — and due to this, there’s more to walk around.
Kobe and Gianna were amongst 9 individuals who passed away in the helicopter crash that day.
