A guest sued after claiming an Airbnb host sent a security-camera image of him with another woman to his wife.
Shawn Mackey rented a home in Memphis, Tennessee, in September 2022 for a weekend with friends.
During the stay, host Pamela Fohler accused him of breaking house rules involving additional guests.
After checking out, Mackey was charged an additional $502.46. He disputed the charge and left an unfavorable review.
According to his lawsuit, Fohler later texted him a security-camera image showing him entering the property with another woman.
She allegedly asked whether she should send the photos to his wife or whether he would.
Days later, Mackey claimed his wife received the image at her work email from an unfamiliar account.
He alleged the incident damaged his marriage and caused emotional distress.
Fohler denied creating the email account or sending the image to his wife.
Mackey sued Fohler and Airbnb in federal court in 2023.
What started as a dispute over guests and rental fees eventually became a lawsuit involving privacy, alleged extortion and a marriage.
