Do you think the person who took this picture had to get the consent of everyone there in order to do so? No. They were in public. They cannot consent to waive a right to privacy that they don't have in the first place.

Cant see anymone there being mocked or ridiculed.
FYI, if you offend somebody< not in his private home, but in public space, you canjh still be sued by him, in Germany as well as in America. The law says so in both countries. If you get raped in public and not in your priovate home, you can sue the attacker nevertheless. A car accident on a public road is a case for the police, although it is not on private property. If you show somebody obscene gestures in poublic, he may sue you, although you are in no private space.
The woman in the fountain says she feels mocked and ridiculed and embarassed by the video of her mishap being spread in public. The spreading of this vidceo is the issue,. not where her mishap happened. Film her naked in her sleeping room and distribute the video, and it is a casue to sue you. Film her being naked in public by accident, and spread that video against her will or withiout her permnission, and it is exactly the same.
She is not suind becasue she behaved silly and a mishap struck her as a result. She is suing against the video being published to a wide public. Granted, she does not give me the impression to be too bright, and in the interview seems to be somewhat "delayed" in her head
, and she probably does not plan to pay her lawyer from her private money only - but still she has a valid point.
