All said and done. In my opinion, in addition to all the answers you got, your one remedy is to file a criminal complaint for Defamation stressing upon defamation by way of spreading rumours (say in exact words) which are false and targeted to malign your image and reputation in the eyes of society. Further, you may also file a civil suit for damages/compensation for damaging your reputation. Of course, these are additional remedies.
