I can't even imagine what she's going through. Losing your husband is devastating, losing your child is beyond words, losing them both at the same time then being forced to stay inside, isolated, sitting with the weight of it because of a global pandemic, is fucking cruel and unusual.

What you need to remember is that this woman only had a family because she latched onto an NBA star. Notice how she's more devastated about the loss of her young daughter as opposed to the loss of Kobe. Superficial women like her are a dime a dozen. I guarantee you that if Kobe had been a 5'8", 160lb truck driver and not someone bound for NBA success that she wouldn't have even talked to him. I don't respect fraudulent people. And who takes a helicopter to a middle school basketball game? Kobe tried to flex his celebrity status one too many times and pushed it too far. These egomaniacal "celebrities" need to humble themselves or else they'll put themselves and others in grave danger.
