Can you sue for defamation of character?
Hello I am trying to figure out if I can file for defamation of character. I was on a job for about a year an 3 mouths when all of a sudden a change on my job happen when someone started going around on the job stating that I look like a animal. After that day it was never the same on the job when I came in contact with does I associated with before that slander it was like a nightmare to me to feel like I was a circus attraction on my job people coming up to my line staring to see if what the was said about me was true or not and I felt humiliated. The last thing that happen to me before I was terminated was I was sent to another line where I was put in the middle of a production line on another line of production where it was that I could be looked at from both ends of the line where there where other employees in the plant just coming up to the line to and I felt and I heard things that put me in a more humiliated state of mind and depression. I clocked out early that night 6 hours early and that night I felt like I wanted to kill myself. To let you know I am married and have a son and I could not understand why all of this was going on. The next day I did not come into work I called and left a message to my manager asking for some time off because I was going through some mental illness. I was admitted into a crises center and spent three days in there. I was terminated from my job because I went past the three points you can only get up to in a year. I am taking abillify a depression medicine right now and I still have problems when I go out in public with paranormal. After reeding this could tell me if I have a case for defamation of character?
