I agree in principle, but is there an actual right to privacy in this instance?
I'm asking this in the legal sense, not a moral sense.

There is no right to privacy, but they may have an NDA. Also, if they get too specific, they could open themselves up to a libel lawsuit. Though, if they were consulting a lawyer I don't think there would be any release. Simply cut business ties, and move on, it happens all the time, and would leave room to patch things up later.
"they could open themselves up to a libel lawsuit."
They already have.
I think in this case it would be Defamation. But the claim is generic enough to be provable (ie private matter, private emails, CoC violation)
Libel is a type of defamation. Just to be pedantic.
pedantic is the best kind of pedantry.
