Question:

Marriott Resorts had a formal company party for more than 200 employees. At one point during the party, they aired a videotape that compiled employees’ and their spouses’ comments about a household chore that they hated. However, as a spoof, the video was edited to make it seem as if they were describing what it was like to have sex with their partner. For instance, though the plaintiff’s husband (an employee) was actually responding to the question about housework, the plaintiff’s husband was quoted on the video as seemingly responding to a provocative question by saying, “the smell. The smell, the smell. And then you go with the goggles. You have to put on the goggles. And then you get the smell through the nose. And as you get into it things start flying all over the place. And the smell. And you get covered in these things.” The plaintiff herself was never mentioned by name, nor did she appear on the video. The plaintiff was terribly upset by the video and sued Marriott for intrusion into seclusion and portrayal of facts in a false light. Is Marriott liable? [Stein v. Marriott Ownership Resorts, Inc., 944 P.2d 374 (UT. 1997).]
