Shaquille O'Neal has given his support to Kobe Bryant's widow, Vanessa, who is in the middle of a lawsuit against Los Angeles County. Vanessa sued the county's sheriff and fire department, as well as other employees, for allegedly distributing photos of the helicopter scene that killed her husband, daughter and seven others. In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Tonight, O'Neal expressed his support for his former teammate's wife. The LA Lakers legend praised Vanessa for doing her best to ensure that the photos remain hidden. "I feel for her. We've never talked a lot, (but) we've always had respect for each other," O'Neal said. "Every time I see her, it's a hug, it's a laugh. But I couldn't imagine what she's going through. "We live in a world where, especially when it gets to the internet, people don't care. But those are pictures that I would never, ever want to see, so she's doing a great thing by holding people responsible." Kobe and Gianna Bryant, along with seven other people, tragically died in a helicopter crash on Jan. 26, 2020. According to the New York Times, Vanessa accused several sheriff's department deputies and fire department employees of allegedly sharing crash scene photos in the lawsuit. The LA County employees allegedly showed the photos to people not involved in the investigation. They confirmed that the photos were indeed shared, but were later deleted. "I do not want my little girls or I to ever have to see their remains in that matter," Vanessa said last year. "Nor do I think it's right that the photographs were taken in the first place because it's already tough enough that I have to experience this heartache and this loss."
