defamatory

Read a random definition: profert in curia

A quick definition of defamatory:

A defamatory statement is one that harms a person's reputation by making others think badly of them. This can be done by saying mean things about them in public or making false claims that hurt their business. It's like spreading rumors that make people not want to be friends with someone anymore. It's not nice and can cause a lot of harm.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A statement or communication that harms a person's reputation by exposing them to public contempt, disgrace, or ridicule, or by negatively affecting their business.

For example, if someone spreads false rumors about a business owner, claiming that they are dishonest or incompetent, this could be considered defamatory. The false statements could harm the business owner's reputation and cause them to lose customers or business opportunities.

Another example of defamatory communication is when someone makes derogatory comments about a person's character or behavior, causing others to view them in a negative light. This could include spreading rumors about a person's personal life or making false accusations about their actions.

Overall, defamatory statements can have serious consequences for the person being targeted, as they can damage their reputation and livelihood. It's important to be mindful of the impact our words can have on others and to avoid making false or harmful statements.
