Slander happens all the time. However, we each need to hear and to heed what the Scripture says:

Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor,
Him I will destroy;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud heart,
Him I will not endure.

– Psalm 101.5

He who slanders does so because he has a haughty look and a proud heart, and the Lord knows it and will do something about it.
