Moreover, the status of your business and whether it is reasonable for someone to call it a scam is a separate matter from what you did to my client when you threatened to expose her to communities known for doxxing, stalking, and harassing people BOTH offline and online. Even if your business had a far improved reputation, my client would still retain a right to her name and likeness and be in a position to limit its use and association. does this match up with lawsuit?
Yes, the statement aligns with the lawsuit's claims. The plaintiff alleges that regardless of the reputation of your business, the unauthorized use of her name, likeness, and professional images without consent is a violation of her rights. Additionally, the allegations of threats to expose her to harmful communities add to the claims of intentional infliction of emotional distress and misappropriation of likeness.
Key Points of the Lawsuit:
- **Unauthorized Use**: The plaintiff asserts her right to control the use of her name and likeness.
- **Emotional Distress**: Claims of threats to expose her to harmful communities bolster the emotional distress claim.
- **Independent of Reputation**: The claim holds regardless of the business's reputation.
