Vanessa became a widow in January when Kobe died at the age of 41 in a helicopter crash in the Calabasas neighborhood of Los Angeles. Their 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other people were also killed in the accident.

In February, Vanessa filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the company that owned the aircraft, Island Express Helicopters, claiming late pilot Ara Zobayan had been “negligent” by flying in foggy conditions. The families of four others killed in the crash followed Vanessa’s lead in April and filed similar suits.

Vanessa has also slammed the first responders who allegedly shared photos of the crash’s aftermath. “This is an unspeakable violation of human decency, respect and of the privacy rights of the victims and their families,” her lawyer, Gary C. Robb, said in a statement posted on her Instagram account in March.
