Yes... you can sue anyone for slander... however, don't expect to be friends with them after the lawsuit!
However, realize that it is extremely difficult to prove a slander case, so make sure you have all of your "ducks in a row" before filing!
Also, realize that all your dirty laundry will be aired if you take this to court... Im not saying don't do it... just be very cautious and consider the pros and cons before making such a drastic decision to file in court!

You can sue anyone for slander, if you have a case - that is, if the words were (a) false (b) facts, (c) told to third parties, and (d) tended to harm your reputation in the community (and maybe (e), caused you actual damage, depending upon the words) (and maybe (f) were not privileged, or made with actual malice if you're a public figure).

If what they are saying about you can be proven to be false and is hurting your business or reputation in the community I think you can sue.
