Collins v. Creative Loafing Savannah, Inc.

Eldridge, Judge.

The State Court of Fulton Comity granted defendant Creative Loafing Savannah, Inc.’s (“CLS”) motion for summary judgment in Paulette Collins’ suit seeking damages for libel, invasion of privacy — false light and appropriation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which suit was filed after CLS used Collins’ likeness in creating a cartoon caricature published in conjunction with a cover story on telemarketing practices. Collins appeals. Finding no error in the trial court’s judgment, we affirm.
