Even if the statements are true, a private individual cannot collect damages from the person who made the statements. Truth is an absolute defense against a claim of libel or slander, but it does not entitle someone to compensation for harm caused by the disclosure of that truth. However, if the person making the statements acted with malice, then there may be grounds for a defamation claim, regardless of whether the statements are true or not.
