A federal judge in Delaware dismissed a lawsuit filed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee against Meta over advertisements using his name and image to sell CBD products. Huckabee claimed Meta allowed and profited from the advertisements that falsely claimed he used and endorsed CBD gummies. The judge concluded that Huckabee failed to allege valid claims for invasion of privacy, unjust enrichment, and violation of Arkansas' Publicity Protection Act. While the judge determined that Meta was not immune from liability for the illegitimate ads, Huckabee failed to demonstrate that Meta knew the ads were fake or had knowledge that would give rise to such knowledge.
