say something that
you're going to relate to because we talked about it
privately. We talked about it on this show
that neither one of us.
Could function
without our wires.
Yeah, we could not we could not carry on,
we could not.
Carry out anything
without only Holly without Sarah Smith.
Not only would we not be where we are?
We couldn't find the direction to get where we're going.
Better have better half does not do it justice with those
women mean to us.
Neither one of us
has been said, you know, it's unnatural for a parent at
the barrier child.
Neither one of us
could comprehend. What? It must feel like to lose a child.
Robertson Beckham Ava.
Savannah, Mason Maya
saw heartbeat
to heartbeat as well as what you and I both live for. Okay,
we both first and foremost identify
as Fathers as our primary job.
So I say all that to say,
you know, the phrase,
I can't imagine
what you're going through. That's that gets thrown around
a lot. You know, when it comes to
people who are grieving
and struggling with the loss of loved ones.
But when I say, I can't imagine.
How Vanessa Bryant?
Lives every day. I don't see his other children who live for
and a legacy to carry on about how Vanessa Bryant finds
the strength.
You talk about a peace and a strength that
Transcends understanding or surpasses comprehension. It is
embodied in one Vanessa Bryant because not only does she have
to live with the loss of Kobe Bryant
and Gigi.
Gianna.
Which even though we've moved on
since,
and we still miss Cole Biaggi from afar, but even though Our
Lives had carried on since January or 2020.
That's its undoubtably fresh for her everyday.
It's fresh for her.
But on top of that as she stated in a court filing in
response to La County's attempt at dismissing, her invasion of
privacy lawsuit.
She has to live,
not only in fear
of the photos that the First Responders.
Took
of
Kobe and Gigi's remains.
She has to live in fear.
Not only in fear that those photos of being leaked online.
Excuse me.
She lives in fear of that because she's being
taunted online with threats
of them being leaked.
And here's part of what she said. In a court filing
quote, these deputies and firefighters took the worst
thing that has ever happened to me. The worst thing that could
happen to any mother or spouse and made it worse.
I will never be able to shake the anguish from knowing that
the officials who are to keep us safe, treated Kobe and
Gianna with such callous disrespect for the rest of my
life. One of two things will happen.
Are there close up photos of my husband's and daughters bodies
will go viral online or I will continue to live in fear of
that happening.
And she's being taunted with online threats of that
happening.
We live in a sick world.
Yes.
We live in a sick world and and LA County not only has tried to
get this case. Dismissed.
They destroyed the evidence
in the form of the photos thinking of that sufficient. Or
it never got out because we destroyed it, forget that it
was shared on 20-something devices, forget that it was
shared at a Gala 28 at an awards Gala.
Forget that
Okay, forget forget about the fact that didn't exist
somewhere. Okay, what we did? Lead it off the deputies
devices. There's nothing else to see here, folks.
Oh, we already settled with the other families. Let's just come
on. Look. What do we talk? Let's dismiss this lawsuit.
Well, you know, is your Trauma from losing your husband and
daughter.
Are we really the source of your trauma?
You should get used to get a psychological exam.
Or
you should show us your therapy session reports.
Sick.
Sissy.
Yeah, and as you described it, a spiritual laps is what you
want to call it, right? That's what it is. It is, and I'm
being kind,
I'm being kind when I say it's the county spiritual laps
because
this is not a case where you say. Well, what's the letter of
the law,
the idea is
to protect
the Widow.
And to protect her family. So when you say you love, Kobe
Bryant, this is why I athletes.
This is why at some athletes really struggle with this.
It's not love people wearing your jerseys, don't necessarily
love you. People who are cheering for you
and they know all your records and they go to All-Star games
to get signed jerseys and they go to retirement ceremonies and
say how much
you change their lives.
They don't necessarily love.
You if they're not looking at your Humanity, if they don't
see beyond you
they can't see you behind it behind what you do. Then that's
not really love if you really loved Kobe Bryant and you
respect it, Kobe Bryant and everything that he represents
you would love him
that you'd see the humanity
and Kobe.
And so now the Kobe can't entertain them anymore.
They want to go around and just sick voyeuristic
phones. Sharing of, hey, look, what I've got.
So there's so many things wrong with this one. It's disrespect
disrespectful, and it's dishonorable
to you have totally betrayed
the job that you were paid to do. You're a public servant.
I think that
it just blows my mind that people forget in these jobs.
You're in a job.
You're paid by taxpayers.
You're a public servant. Some, you're on the wheel
of a public service.
That's what it is sad about you. It's bigger than you. It's
about the public.
So who in their right mind?
Would go to a crash, a crash scene,
take these pictures
and then turn it into
conversation at a bar or as you said at a Gala
or ore scrubber, describing it remains work guys.
Describing the crash, victims remains as
hamburger and piles of meat.
It's sick.
Maybe they could, maybe they don't see the humanity, Michael
and Kobe, and his family, and those victims, because they,
they aren't human themselves. Maybe they can't see him and
they can't see what's not within them.
However, these people who are these people are these deputies
deputies and I said in a different context before
Michael,
that,
ironically, nobody in America. It's a different context, but
it applies here that
nobody in America is protected more
than the police.
The people who are who put their lives on the line and who
are paid to ostensibly to protect and serve. Nobody is
protected and served more than the police. Let's expand it to
First Responders.
I can't help. But wonder
how much of this taunting that she's receiving online
threats to leak these photos
stems from the fact that she's got the nerve to go after
our heroes who are human, who are human beings. I should say.
Maybe they lack Humanity in this case.
And in too many cases,
but are human beings on the less and her flawed.
In this case,
they're no worse than the people from whom
they protect and serve us from. And I know it's we talked about
firefighters for the most part, in this case, in this case, but
these Sheriff deputies, who are supposed to be protecting us
from evil, from the forces of evil.
Our practice, acted all pray. Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, and
there's no question that, you know, I think Mike with
the with the county, the county is response.
Let's give them one more day to think about. It's a holidays
are approaching the holidays.
I'm feeling like extending some Grace. If you admit it now,
it's like you feel like you're having a conversation with
a child.
If you admit it. Now,
if you say, if you accept responsibility, now
that you didn't act appropriately, you could have done things
in a different way and you apologize now.
Hey, maybe we can move forward.
But that's not going to happen.
If they did that, now
I can say, all right,
at least they admitted it.
But if they don't do that, my
I hope Vanessa Bryant not only gets what she is. Seeking.
I hope people are exposed. I hope heads roll.
I hope the whole
whole apparatus is exposed for what it is and the people who
are involved now, I hope everybody
who has touched this,
this network, everybody who has done something, somebody who
was hiding in the crevices, in the corners. I want the light
to be, shined on all of them.
Because this is disgusting
and it is at the expense of the public. I just can't believe
that. These are not people who work
for private companies.
It's the county. That's why it's LA County. These are
County Employees behaving like this.
That decision for
to say is immature is a disservice.
Under the photo Michael.
She's seen it. She says, since viewing the photo. She seen one
photo that was alleged to have been the remains of her
husband,
quote since viewing, the photo. I've been tormented with
thoughts of who took it. Yeah, and whether it depicts my
husband,
I just heard a woman
can sleep at night because, you know,
it's not all know how the, I don't know how the perpetrators
can sleep at night. I don't know how they can, I don't know
how they can look themselves in the mirror,
but find me a stronger human being then, Vanessa Bryant
who's carrying the tragedy, the grief of the tragedy on its
own, but on top of, it
has County officials
and people online
people online, threatening to leak them, the county.
Officials is one thing. But now, there are strangers
online, threatening to leak. Them is like, who are these
parties people?
Yeah, who are they?
And I want them. And that's some said, I hope everybody.
I hope everybody who's involved. Everybody who has done
something like this the threats.
Everybody who is behind it. I want them called out and I want
them to deal with the consequences
of the sick Behavior. As you said it, sick, it is.
And it's not just Kobe.
It's not just Kobe. It's not just
his daughter Gianna there. Other people write
other victims. There are other people involved. And so,
it's not us. It's not a,
it's not a sport. It's not just celebrity gossip.
You know, these are these are people who have
who have survived these survivors, who just have to wrestle with
being without their
husbands being without their wives being. Their children
and these folks are just saying. Hey, check this out.
Give me the baby. But but if it stopped there, that's one thing
for LA County to act like they've cleaned it up like, oh,
we deleted the photos. We represent like they like Howard
County.
Has to do. Yeah, and how cannot they not see
the damn you didn't do what she asks you to do. Because at
the very at the very basic level, you didn't honor his memory
showing sharing those photos even internally.
It's not honoring
the memory
and the life of Kobe Bryant.
And continuing to torment as with her,
by acting as those. She's the problem. She's exaggerating
when it comes to invasion of privacy where they were leaked
online yet or not.
It man, unbelievable. God bless that woman and her hand and all
the families. God bless.
