If you say something in public, with the express intent of embarassing someone, then you can be liable for doing so, even if your statement is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That's the potential problem here. Whether you win or lose, you lose, based on time spent and money spent, with nothing whatsoever gained.
