Rachel and Joe were college students at a local university.  They dated briefly, and the relationship ended with a little bit of bitterness on both sides. Rachel felt Joe was a “bad guy” and  “red flag” for other women, and decided to warn the other women in her dorm about Joe.  She posted on the group chat that anyone thinking of dating Joe should come talk to her.  She suggested that she had information that anyone considering dating Joe would want to hear. A friend, Beth, came to Rachel to talk about Joe.  Rachel told Beth that Joe had a sexually transmitted disease, and also that she should not date him because he was a narcissist, citing examples from her relationship to support her claim.  Jeff did, in fact, have a sexually transmitted disease, and even though Rachel asked Beth kept the information to herself, Beth posted about Jeff’s disease on social media.  Jeff did not, however, have a diagnosis of narcissism, and in fact was a generally very reasonable person who did not display narcissistic tendencies.  Rachel knew this, but claimed Jeff was a narcissist because of the hurt she felt during the breakup, and a desire to “get even” with him for how he treated her. Joe felt Rachel was overly controlling and demanding, and told his friends this over dinner in the college dormitory on the same day as the breakup. His conversation was overheard and repeated, and Rachel suffered reputational harm on campus.  She did not, however, notice any changes in her grades, and the campus rumors did not effect how much she was earning in tips while serving as a waitress at the local diner close to campus.
