I have difficulty ...

... with a suit blaming large organizations for the actions of someone who misrepresents herself and chooses her behaviors without coercion.

I do think that the person with the camera might have given some consideration to what the record of that behavior would do to the course of his subject's life. But reporters and photographers are not held to high standards of compassion, perhaps justifiably. And good ethics are hard to embody in law.

And then the Court case is going to magnify the damage by increasing the prominence of the video. If this is the choice of the person affected, that's one more decision with consequences. But if this is the choice of attornies working on contingency fees, then the decision is questionable.

The attornies should be very confident of gaining sufficient compensation for their client to make this added ... humiliation justifiable.
