It might not be as severe like a video you shot of your girlfriend, naked, and then spreading it in public without telling her, but in principle it is the same thing.
The difference is that by the video she could not be identified at all. So while she has a moral point, I think it is not strong enough to justify a walk to the court. The damage of her being linked to that incident she did herself when climbing on the stage with the cameras and revealing her identity and saying that she wants to sue "them". Before, it was all anonymous.

Well put. The operator of the mall should not have allowed the security video to be distributed on Youtube. That's not what the security video system is for. But like you said, she really weakens any case she may have by actually going public and linking herself to the unflattering video.
I love how she wailed "no one came to help me". I bet she didn't go back and clean up the mess she made, I bet she didn't even give it a moment's thought. Water all over the floor, some poor min wage mall worker had to mop up after her.
If I had been there, I would have walked behind her, slipped and fell, and I would be suing her!
