But what about the privilege communication to coworkers? Could that also be a strong reason why Beatrice may not win?

I agree with Salena, if the information was true, Beatrice may not win her defamation case.

I bet Beatrice is regretting that affair now. Maybe she should have thought about the consequences before stepping out on her spouse.

The best answer is definitely A. If the information is true, it's not defamation, no matter how juicy the details are.

Wow, Beatrice is really reaching here! Defamation for telling the truth? That's a stretch even for a fraud examiner like Grant.
