My guess is that he will not sue anyone (who would he sue?). Defamation
and slander cases are hard to win - you have to be able to show damages.
What are his damages? How will he prove them?

It's a free world - people can say what they want as long as it is true.
But it never hurts to have a PLUP policy as part of your insurance!!!!

Sincerely,
