A TikTok influencer was ordered to pay $1.75 million by a North Carolina jury after being accused of seducing her manager's husband, leading to the end of his marriage, under the state's alienation of affection law.
A North Carolina woman TikTok influencer Brenay Kennard was ordered to pay $1.75 million after a jury found her liable for destroying her manager's marriage through an affair, citing alienation of affection laws that allow spouses to sue for interference in their marriage.
Scott Lassiter, an assistant principal and member of the Wake County Soil and Water Conservation District Board of Supervisors, has filed a lawsuit against N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore, accusing him of having a secret affair with Lassiter's wife that lasted for more than three years and resulted in the "destruction" of his marriage. Moore denies the accusation, describing the lawsuit as "baseless." Lassiter is claiming alienation of affection and alleging damages in excess of $25,000. North Carolina is one of only six states in the United States that still has alienation of affection laws.
