QUESTION
What can I do if I was wrongfully terminated and sabotaged?
Asked on Jan 18th, 2014 on Labor and Employment - Georgia
More details to this question:
I was employed by my fiance's company. I broke the engagement off and he fired me, and this is the only reason he gave for termination. He also called the owner of the home that I am renting and told him that I no longer work for him and that I probably won't be able to pay him anymore rent because I do not work. I do contracts with other companies and individuals, so I do still have employment. He has contacted my clients and told them untrue things about me and my business, which led them to not want to do business with me anymore. Please advise me on any actions that I can take against him, for disclosing my information to my landlord as my employer and sabotaging business relationships. Thank you for your time.

If your ex-fiance told business clients of yours false things about you, which caused them to stop giving you business, you could have a legal claim against him for defamation, tortious interference with a business relationship or expectancy, and/or tortious interference with a contract. There could also be a claim for quid-pro-quo sexual harassment arising from him terminating you because you refused to continue a sexual relationship with him. However, courts are very careful to distinguish between terminating a person for breaking off a relationship (often legal), and terminating a person because they won't have sex with the boss (illegal).
