The employee is frankly more likely to be in danger of being fired than sued for defamation.

Defamation suits are very costly to litigate in terms of both time and money (think several years and tens of thousands of dollars, and attorneys will not take these cases on contingency unless there is a promise of a huge monetary award - highly unlikely in this scenario).

If the employee is actually served, he must speak with an attorney himself. Defending such a suit could bury him financially even if there's no merit to the suit itself.

And of course the employee frankly needs to keep his nose out of other people's business.
