Vanessa Bryant generous: what she will do with the 16 million dollars won during her trial

Vanessa Bryant suddenly lost two of the most dear people of her life: her husband Kobe and her daughter Gianna, both of whom died in a helicopter crash that circled the planet in January 2020. Shortly after this terrible tragedy, many photographs have leaked to the press. These last came from the county of Los Angeles and one could see there appearing the lifeless bodies of Kobe and Gianna Bryant. One thing that Vanessa never missed: she filed a complaint directly.

After a long trial, Vanessa Bryant won her case: the court awarded her $16 million in damages. A small victory for the widow of the former superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers, legendary franchise of the NBA, the North American basketball league. And this big check won’t be used for anything, Vanessa Bryant has decided to donate the money to an association that means a lot to her : the Mamba and Mambacita sports foundation.

Vanessa Bryant won $16 million in damages

It was his lawyer, Luis Li, who revealed it last Thursday in the columns of the Los Angeles Time. Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation is a non-profit organization that is supposed continuing the legacy of Kobe and Gianna Bryant by providing opportunities for young athletes from disadvantaged backgrounds.

“Vanessa Bryant never waveredeven when Los Angeles County tried to force her to submit to a psychiatric examination. People have brought to light an old practice of sharing photos of accident victims without a legitimate purpose. This behavior is heinous and insensitive“said his lawyer at the end of the trial. A nice way to do a little justice.
