Vanessa Bryant Has One Request For the Media Ahead of Kobe’s Tragic Anniversary

It’s crazy to think it’s almost been one year since Kobe’s tragic passing. Everyone can probably remember where they were when they heard the crazy news of Kobe’s helicopter crashing.  Now that the year anniversary is approaching, Kobe’s widow is hoping that the media will do the right thing, and not show any footage of the crash.

Vanessa posted a message on Social Media:

“Dear media, please be considerate when airing or posting remembrance footage. We ask that you do not air photos of the wreckage, helicopter in air or accident scene. We do NOT want to see it. Our year has been traumatic enough. You have thousands of photos and videos you can show besides footage of 1/26/20. We hope videos of remembrance are done in a classy and tasteful manner that is respectful of all our losses. Thank you.”

You can watch Vanessa’s speech at the memorial below:

If you think your 2020 was tough, just imagine what Vanessa Bryant was going through.

It’s still hard to believe Kobe is gone.

RIP Mamba.
