Jada Pinkett Smith confronts Snoop Dogg over Gayle King outburst

Vanessa Bryant has been a pillar of strength since the passing of her husband Kobe Bryant and their 13-year-old daughter Gianna on Sunday, January 26. During this time, Vanessa has asked for nothing more than privacy as she and the families of the seven others who were aboard the helicopter navigate this difficult process.

Over the weekend, Vanessa Bryant released a statement responding to the allegations that the Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies shared photos from the crash scene where her husband Kobe Bryant, daughter Gigi, and 7 others died in a helicopter accident.

Snoop Dogg has expressed regret over his controversial comments to a US TV journalist and said he felt the need to protect “superhero” Kobe Bryant.
