While it may not be illegal, it certainly would amount to actionable defamation, so long as it is untrue. If you are serious about pursuing this conduct, you need to document - by capturing screen views or printing - the offending statements, and filing an action in court to stop further statements from being made and seeking damages. Best of luck.
