   PER CURIAM.

Appellants, John and Katherine Moll, seek review of a Final Summary Judgment entered in favor of Appellee, Florida Freedom Newspapers, Inc., that dismissed Appellants’ claims for false light invasion of privacy and defamation. Because Appellants’ false light claim overlaps defamation, it must be treated the same way. See Gannett Co. v. Anderson, 947 So.2d 1, 8 (Fla. 1st DCA 2006) (“To the extent that false light invasion of privacy overlaps defamation, it must be treated the same way. Otherwise, the relatively short statute of limitations and other strict requirements in the law of defamation would have no effect at all.”), review granted Anderson v. Gannett Co., 954 So.2d 1155 (Fla.2007). As such, Appellee’s defamation defenses, which preclude the defamation claim, also preclude Appellants’ false light claim.

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the Final Summary Judgment.
