Howell v. New York Post Co.green
ny · 1993 · cited in 1 New York opinions naming this issue, 2021–2021
2 sentences

2021Plaintiffs' complaint therefore amounts to little more than the claim that that the film unreasonably placed them in a false light while presenting an account of newsworthy matters with healthy dollops of fiction, but neither a false light claim nor any other common-law privacy tort exists in New York ( see Messenger v Gruner + Jahr Print. & Publ. 94 NY2d at 448 ; Howell v New York Post Co. , 81 NY2d 115, 123 [1993]).

2021Thus, as "the right to privacy is governed exclusively by sections 50 and 51 of the Civil Rights Law" in New York, and plaintiffs failed to raise a material question of fact as to whether the degree of fictionalization of the film transformed it into a material and substantially fictitious biography, the purpose of which was an effort to trade off plaintiffs' names and likenesses, defendant was entitled to summary judgment ( Howell v New York Post Co. , 81 NY2d at 123 ; see 147 AD3d at 1255 ).
