Question: What sorts of things can be defamatory?
Answer:A defamatory comment is one that damages another’s reputation.

Essentially something is defamatory if it is a malicious comment intended to harm someone’s reputation, and that does not have any grounding in fact. Written or spoken comments can be defamatory; it can be something published in print or online, or even in a personal email or social media comment.
