Sheri runs a radiator repair service. Owen is one of her customers. Sheri repaired the cracked radiator in Owen’s 1963 Chevrolet Impala automobile. Owen became upset when one of Sheri’s employees spoke rudely to him when he came to pick up the vehicle. The next day, Owen telephoned a local radio call-in program called This Is Your Opinion Out There. Owen told the disc jockey that Sheri’s business was “low class,” that Sheri “thought she could do better auto repair work than a man,” and that he’d never again do business with a “brainless broad doing a man’s job.” He managed also to say that Sheri “slept around with customers” before the radio station cut him off. Which type(s) of intentional tort(s), if any, has Owen committed against Sheri?
A. Defamation (slander) B. Invasion of privacy (false light in the public eye) C. Intentional infliction of emotional distress D. All of these choices.
