If the statements are false, it is slander. It could also be an invasion of privacy.
Slander requires proof of false statements made about you. If you can prove that through witnesses or other admissible evidence, and can prove the false statements caused you an actual financial loss, like lost job, etc., then you have potential grounds for a lawsuit. In that case, feel free to contact me.
