You did not provide all relevant information. The first question is are the statements true. If so, there are likely no claims at all (the "truth is a defense" applies here). If false, she likely has a claim for defamation. See a lawyer who has handled, successfully, cases like this. Keep in mind that legal action tends to bring everything out in the open.
