Facts
Daniel Goodson (plaintiff) sued Kim Kardashian, Kourtney Kardashian, and Khloe Kardashian-Odum (the Kardashians) (defendants), alleging that the Kardashians’ antics on their reality-television programs caused him severe emotional and psychological strain. Goodson sought compensatory and punitive damages and the following personal apology: “D.J., we are sorry for emotionally stressing you out we love you!” The district court dismissed the complaint with prejudice, and Goodson appealed.
