This is common social media defamation type issue. You may want to retain a lawyer to file suit against the offender to see if you can cinvince them to stop or hold them responsbile for damages. The downside is these are not contingent fee cases and can be expensive lawsuits, though many people pursue them because the business and reputational harm is a bigger loss. We handle such cases if you are seriously intent on taking legal action.
