My question involves defamation in the state of: Michigan
I resigned from a longstanding position at a small, struggling company the other day after having decided enough is enough. Furthermore I previously reported some illegal activity to a governmental agency. Well, shortly after resigning I received an email stating that I will be sued for slander for having recently told a client of his via email that "(Name) will be handling this request, as we are presently having a severe issue with unpaid wages." First of all, this would be libel, not slander, correct? And secondly, the statement is easily proved 100% true by examining the gaps between the time pay periods closed and checks were written, often one month or more, as well as dozens upon dozens of emails back and forth. Am I in trouble, or should I not worry about it?
