Months after the devastating helicopter crash that resulted in nine deaths, Kobe Bryant's widow, Vanessa Byrant, is suing Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva and his department. 

According to the lawsuit obtained by Fox 10 Phoenix, Villanueva's deputies allegedly took photos of Kobe and his daughter, Gianna's, bodies at the Calabasas accident site.

Fox 10 Phoenix goes on to report that a bartender filed a complaint with the L.A. County sheriff's office after overhearing a deputy show off the photos to a woman "he was trying to impress."

Vanessa also claims in the lawsuit that Villanueva tried to cover up the leaked photos by telling deputies if they delete them, they wouldn't face punishment. 

Vanessa is suing for punitive damages and an "unspecified amount," according to Fox 10 Phoenix.
