"For the rest of my life I'm going to have to fear that these photographs of my husband and child will be leaked," Vanessa Bryant said in a deposition.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Kobe Bryant’s widow won't have to undergo psychiatric testing for her lawsuit over graphic photos of the 2020 helicopter crash that killed the basketball star, her 13-year-old daughter and others, a federal judge ruled Monday.

Under the proposed settlement, still subject to court approval, Matthew Mauser stands to receive $1.25 million and siblings J.J. Altobelli and Alexis Altobelli would share another $1.25 million.

L.A. County lawyers had requested the exam, arguing the basketball star's widow wasn't traumatized by news that sheriff's deputies shared grim images of the crash scene.
