Publication of Private Facts in North Carolina

North Carolina does not recognize a legal claim for the publication of private facts. See Hall v. Salisbury Post, 372 S.E.2d 711 (N.C. 1988). However, the North Carolina Supreme Court has suggested that a plaintiff might be able to bring an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim under some circumstances involving the publication of embarrassing private facts.
