Hill v. Doc Shop Productions CA2/5
This action arose from the production and airing of the Netflix series Afflicted. Seven people depicted in that series sued defendants for defamation, invasion of privacy (false light), and fraud. Defendants moved to strike the complaint under the anti-SLAPP statute, but the trial court denied the motion.
On appeal, defendants contend plaintiffs failed to make a prima facie showing sufficient to overcome the consent/release defenses to the defamation and false light claims. Defendants also contend plaintiffs failed to demonstrate that their defamation, false light, and fraud claims had minimal merit. We affirm.
