A woman I work with was complaining about me to her husband.
She told him many things that were not true about me.
He called my employer to report the things that I supposedly had done to her and as a result, I was disciplined. I did not do or say
any of the things she said I did. Can I sue the husband for
slander? He only was repeating what his wife had reported. She said
that I was mean to her. He has never met me or spoken directly to
me at any time. She lied to her husband and he created the trouble.
At work she told me and other coworkers that she did nothing wrong and
that her husband was just defending her. She told her husband that I
made fun of her teeth and her relatives. I have never met her
relatives and they live in another state. I find this very distressing.
I was told to "get along with her." I believe that her husband should never have contacted my boss. What is my recourse?
