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.
Libel and slander are both forms of defamation. Defamation is a common law tort, governed by state law, in which an individual makes a publication of a defamatory statement of and concerning the plaintiff that damages the reputation of the plaintiff.
