In plaintiff’s action against her former employer alleging sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, summary judgment for defendants is affirmed where: 1) trial court did not err in granting defendants’ motion for summary judgment because the acts of alleged harassment did not rise to the level of establishing a hostile work environment as a matter of law; 2) no evidence showed plaintiff suffered any adverse employment action because she complained about sexual harassment; 3) the trial court properly granted summary judgment as to plaintiff’s intentional infliction of emotional distress claim as the record does not contain any evidence showing plaintiff was subjected to extreme or outrageous conduct by defendants as a matter of law.
