My Boss told a fellow employee that I slept with his wife.
This may seem like an odd situation. My Manager(boss) told a fellow employee that I slept with his wife( x wife or seperated)He based this on the fact that we where at the same place at the same time. I've known them both for quite a long time. The person informed me that he had been told this by him. Not only did it not happen and never will happen, I have a witness that knows it didn't happen because they where there and they slept with her. I am a happily married man and hope to remain that way. I can only imagine what would have happened if my wife where to have heard this harmful rumor before I had told her the situation. I took the situation to my supervisor and he informed me that he had heard the rumor. I am now left wondering how many people think I cheated on my wife and everyday I go back I feel embarrassed and angry.
What can I do?
Thankyou

The Ohio Supreme Court recently held that statements made about you that are offensive can be the basis for an invasion of privacy claim. I discussed this case in a blog posting on this site, located at http://www.myemploymentlawyer.com/serendipity/archives/32-A-new-right-for-the-Falsely-Accused-in-Ohio-False-Light-Invasion-of-Privacy.html
