The elements of defamation are a false statement that the speaker knew or should have known was false, made to third parties, which caused the plaintiff damages.
Based on the above you may have a claim, but a consultation with counsel is necessary to determine all the facts and whether pursuing such a claim survives the cost benefit analysis.
I trust this answers your questions but do not hesitate to call or email me on a free initial basis.
