Plaintiff had appeared on the television show of a well-known daytime talk-show host which purports to provide a forum for discussion of mental health issues. Plaintiff claimed that the show’s host had improperly induced her to appear on his show by appearing to be sympathetic to her situation, while secretly planning to make fun of her on the show for having delusional ideas about being able to read minds and for having a relationship with a much younger man while purporting to help him with mental health issues.

Two actors who had starred in a famous motion picture in the 1960’s during their teens sued the director and the studio, alleging that they had been used for child pornography by being tricked into appearing nude in brief scenes of the movie. Defendants claimed that there was no such child pornography in the film.
