There could be any number of legal issues implicated here, depending on the facts of the situation. You could claims relating to infliction of emotion distress, interference with contractual relations, harassment, blackmail, defamation, and/or libel/slander. Given the potentially sensitive and confidential nature of this issue, you should contact with an attorney and consult regarding what your options may be.
