I'm afraid this is a too complicated to answer in this forum with limited information. One thing you might do is set up a meeting with your former employer and, if the defamation was something the company did but you were also held liable for some reason, perhaps the company should pay your portion of the judgment that they're trying to assess against you, and also pay for your appeal. Just a thought. Do contact a lawyer locally, especially if the judgment against you is substantial.
