  • holding that the defendant’s falsely informing a prospective employer about the plaintiffs rude and inappropriate behavior does not rise to the level of “more culpable” conduct usually required for tortious interference
  • holding that the alleged tortfeasor “was not acting solely to hurt” the alleged victim because it was acting in its “normal economic self-interest” and had indicated that it “was completely indifferent” to the plaintiff’s fate
  • finding that the third element exception did not apply because \[plaintiffs] motive in interfering with the [business] relationships ... was normal economic self-interest .... \
