I was wondering if there was any way I could sue two people who were spreading some rumors about me affecting my relationships. I was close friends with a co-worker and about two months ago some mutual friends spread some rumors and our relationship completely fell apart and she’s now terrified of me. They were spreading rumors that I was stalking her and her sister, eavesdropping on her trough walls and on private conversations and making sexual remarks about her. None of which were true and those were only the ones I heard. It caused a lot of damage to our friendship and for me personally it’s taken a big toll on me, I’ve been extremely depressed and distraught about the whole thing and now I’ve been dealing with suicidal ideation. A lot of my coworkers have been more distrustful and suspicious of me since then.One of the people who spread the rumors admitted to me that he knew they were false anyways but didn’t think it was a big deal and said the other person did all of it. When I asked the other person they completely denied it and said it was the first person who did all of it. Is there anything I could do about it legally through a lawsuit?
