False Light

False light is a legal concept related to the right of privacy, where a person is portrayed in a misleading way that creates a false impression about them. This can happen through misleading photographs, statements, or representations that imply something untrue about a person's character or actions. Unlike defamation, which involves false statements that harm reputation, false light focuses on the misleading portrayal itself. If someone feels they have been unfairly depicted in a manner that could lead others to have a false impression of them, they may have a claim for false light invasion of privacy.
