DICKINSON, PRESIDING JUSTICE,
CONCURRING IN PART AND IN RESULT:
¶55. Justice King correctly concludes that Mississippi Code Section 97-9-101 is unconstitutionally vague insofar as it includes a purely subjective standard—“anything so regarded by the person affected”—in its definition of harm. But I do not find this case is about subjective harm. Rather, I agree with the majority that Mississippi Code Section 97-9-101 and Mississippi Code Section 97-9-127 include *901reputational harm, and that sufficient evidence was produced to support the jury's verdict on that basis.
COLEMAN, J., JOINS THIS OPINION.
