Defamation and Slander

[Mrsdonsmith]

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? MI

My husband was a fedex contractor and was recently, was caught talking on the phone with an employee at a post office, once him and her and told her to back off! She lied to his employer and told them i came up to her job with him and came inside and took a picture and put it on fb, and he was fired because she said i came inside the post office and she also stated that i threatened, and harrassed her! Can we sue her for defemation, because she blatantly lied! And we have never seen each other face to face! She even stated that she made a police report, and i have a message stating that she was going to get him fired! And asking me since she was a federal employee did i want to do federal time for the wrong person.

Are you saying they were having some sort of romantic interlude? Otherwise it seems a little odd that your husband would be fired unless I'm misunderstanding the nature of the circumstances.

Regardless, defamation suits are costly in terms of both time and money, and I heavily doubt you could collect any judgment from her. You would also be laying out every detail of your private life for the public to see.

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.

Your husband was fired from FedEx because an employee at the post office said you posted pictures of her on Facebook and you threatened her?

I can usually decipher posts but here I have no clue what is going on, especially the "... since she was a federal employee did I want to do federal time for the wrong person."

Mrsdonsmith, could you please clarify your post for us? Thanks.

This sounds quite a bit like a betrayed wife angrily confronting the other woman and getting her cheating husband fired as a result.

It would be nice if it were written as clearly as that.






(I wonder if Mrsdonsmith exclaims as much in real life as she does in her post ...)
