Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Gwen can assert privilege as a defense because she believed the statements to be true and limited their communication to the firm's management, which is considered a qualified privilege. This means that the communication was made in good faith and within the scope of the supervisor's duties. As a result, the supervisor may be protected from liability for defamation.
