Lucy cannot stand the fact that her ex$-$husband, Ethan, is about to get remarried. After all, it was a horrible breakup, and Ethan was really mean to her. Lucy decides to get her revenge by telling Ethan's employer that Ethan stole large amounts of money from his previous employer, even though Lucy knows it is not true. If Lucy follows through on her plan, she will have:

not committed the tort of defamation because the statement would not harm Ethan's reputation.

committed the tort of defamation whether or not the statement was true, because the statement was intended to harm Ethan's reputation and was stated to another person.

committed the tort of defamation because it is an untrue statement intended to harm Ethan's reputation, and she stated it to another person.

not committed the tort of defamation, because she only made the statement to one person.
