Good luck. Truth is an absolute defense.
In some states, you may be sued for the dissemination of intimate information about a person, even if true, under the privacy tort of public disclosure of private facts, sometimes referred to as the embarrassing-facts tort or private-facts tort. The Restatement (Second) of Torts defines this cause of action as a publication of private information that “(a) would be highly offensive to a reasonable person and (b) is not of legitimate concern to the public.” In other words, the disclosure of very personal information, a disclosure unjustified by the newsworthiness, or lack thereof, of the information is an invasion of privacy. Note that the embarrassing information revealed must be private, meaning it is not in the public domain or otherwise generally known.
That is interesting. I hadn't heard of that before - suing someone for revealing factual details. In Herman's case though, I would just ignore Smith like I would a fart in church. He just looks bitter.
Hiring a damn prostitute is a ****ing space trip from sexual abuse. If it’s just hiring protitutes and **** like that, hold you breath for anything happening with Herman.
The **** with Freeze happened at the place he got fired, very different situation. I don’t think Smith is lying at all.
Wake me up when Texas gives a **** about some protitutes lol. Your point was that he was in trouble with what Smith is saying now and he’s not and won’t be. If Smith reveals he killed a hooker, then it changes of course.All situations are different but to think Hermann can just walk thru this unscathed is a bit premature. Smith hasn't necessarily unloaded all yet. Also, the dynamic starts to change when the university realizes the whole world knows.
