Answer to Question 1

If the statement is false, Mrs. Baines may have committed defamation (slander, because the statement was oral) and an invasion of privacy tort such as false light or public disclosure of private facts. If the statement is true, it is not defamation. It may still be an invasion of privacy, such as public disclosure of private facts; it might not be false light if the impression made is an accurate one.

Answer to Question 2

A
