Defamation Definition. Defamation is the act of defaming. It is also called defamation of character. The terms mean harm to the character or reputation of someone, directly caused by the false statement or act of another. Spoken defamation is slander; written is libel. Defamation â slander or libel â related to the workplace and employment typically takes the form of harm to the character, reputation or career of a former or current employee, directly caused by the false statement or act of an employer representative.
Defamation is addressed primarily by state legislation. However, Constitutional Law may also apply, as the right of freedom of speech also extends to certain defamation claims. Defamation is categorized as either Slander or Libel. The general harm caused by defamation is identified as being ridiculed, shamed, hated, scorned, belittled or held in contempt by others, and lowers him/her in esteem of a reasonably prudent person, due to the communication of the false statement.
