Karen writes Bob a long letter in which she falsely accuses him of stealing her bike. Bob is outraged because no one has ever questioned his character in that way before. He is so incensed that he shows the letter to several colleagues, as well as to his boss. A few weeks later, he applies for a promotion and is turned down. When he asks his boss why he lost the promotion, his boss, very reluctantly, says that a number of people were concerned about Bob’s integrity in light of the recent accusations about his involvement in a bicycle theft. Bob sues Karen for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Why will he probably succeed or fail on each claim?
