1Opinion of the Court
Johnson, Chief Judge.
Jane Johns worked for Heard County Department of Family & Children Services (“DFCS”) as a child protective services worker. She claims that from May 1994 to June 1995 she was harassed by Jere Ridley, her supervisor at DFCS, resulting in claims of libel, slander, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. Her husband, Thomas Johns, alleges he suffered a loss of consortium and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Both these appeals stem from the trial court’s order granting summary judgment to Ridley and partial summary judgment to DFCS.
