      Slander is spoken. Written, it’s libel.

      And there’s a difference between libel and stating facts about someone that they don’t like. I can’t say for certain which those tweets are, especially since I can’t actually read them right now.

      You may as well sue everyone then, especially on the internet and even more so on Twitter. To sue randos on the internet as a famous person because someone said something bad about you is just wild and petty, unless it did considerable harm to your reputation.
