Being liable for defamation means that an individual or entity has made a false statement about another person that harms their reputation. To establish liability, the statement must be presented as a fact, not opinion, and it must have been communicated to a third party. The affected party must also show that the statement caused damage, either to their reputation, business, or personal life. Defamation can occur in two forms: slander (spoken) and libel (written).
