I had a difficult time understanding why they should be held liable myself. I found it ‘iffy’ at first, but it seems the hotel staff was pretty ‘loose’ with info and some of the staff were up to no good themselves.
Let’s say, If I were on the jury, I would find it a difficult case to decide and probably have to fall back on the side of privacy. The staff should not have been willing to give out information about a guest and especially if the guest is a public figure. They could at least have notified her that this person had requested a room next to her. She could have ‘nipped it in the bud’ if they had. Maybe that is what won her the settlement.
