Today out of no where a post pops up on my business Facebook page that announces my husband is having a affair. Of course this is news to me. I then go to my private account where I had apparently the day before received a friend request from this poster with a Private message saying ask me how I know your husband is having an affair. I immediately delete the post off my business page to try to prevent any further damage caused by my customers seeing it. And then reply back to the private post from what is a clearly new and fake account to find out more details as I was extremely distraught to then point I could hardly think let alone finish my work!! By the end of tonight I questioned them enough they admitted they lied and are competition.

If you squashed this quickly then you may have no or very little damages. You need yo contact an attorney specializing in this area of the law.

Many attorneys will give you a free consultation to discuss your problem. It may be difficult to file a lawsuit because damages could be hard to prove since you squashed it so fast. You should definitely block this person and report to facebook.
