You can be sued, because anyone can sue anyone for anything.  If your comment was true, however, you are not liable for defamation.  You may be liable for breach of contract, however, if you had an agreement that provided, as some employment agreements do, that you would not disparage your employer for some period of time after leaving its employ.
