On Wednesday, Vanessa Bryant Instagrammed copies of amended court documents that reveal the names of four law enforcement officers. Now her 14 million followers know these identities, too. Her lawsuit accuses the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department of failing to “take basic steps to ensure all copies of the improper photos were tracked down and sequestered.”
According to Bryant’s invasion of privacy suit, one of the officers shared crash site pictures with a buddy that “he played video games with every night”. Another showed pictures of Kobe’s body to a bartender, who turned around to describe the graphic images to restaurant patrons.
Internal investigation determined one of the officers “took between 25 and 100 photos … focused directly on the victims’ remains.” Another texted his gruesome photos to a female deputy “for no reason other than morbid gossip.” (New York Post)
Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez are back together and working on their relationship.
Sources tell Page Six say that the two “are back together thanks to a frank, heart-to-heart talk last Friday night and a weekend spent together in the Dominican Republic.”
Last week, A-Rod jetted off to the Caribbean, where J-Lo is filming a movie called Shotgun Wedding, to save the relationship. An insider says, “They had a great couple days in the DR. They continue to work through things. That’s the status quo right now. They’re together.”
Sources said last week that the couple had decided to cancel their wedding plans and end their relationship. Things were apparently complicated by A-Rod’s rumored relationship with Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy.
Entertainment Tonight says Kristen Bell and her family have adopted a three-legged dog named Whiskey. She posted a picture of him along with the caption: “Meet Whiskey! Before he was rescued he got in a fight with a truck and lost (a leg) but who needs four legs anyway? The girls adore him and Dad lovingly tolerates him. No more truck stops for you, buddy. Welcome home.”
