public figures are mostly disqualified from filing slander suits Wrong.

there typically has to be specifics in order for slander to hold Wrong. I can say you are a lying cheat of a mechanic and that's enough detail be slanderous.

Cris has to show that the slander damaged her somehow Wrong. If the statement is about one's profession, then damages are presumed. Additionally, if the matter is of public concern and of a public figure, only falsity of the statement and malice must be proven (not economic damage).

However I also don't think her body type is going to make it easy for her to reach 135. Here, you are most likely correct.

See below for a formal definition of defamation as it would apply to this case.

Defamation =

a defamatory statement (injures the P's reputation and tends to subject the P to hatred, contempt and ridicule, or financial injury)

of or concerning the plaintiff (evidence must show that the statement refers to the plaintiff)

publication to a third person (statement is communicated to a third party who understands the defamatory meaning and application to the P)

damage to plaintiff's reputation (presumed if the statement is about the P's occupation or business)

additionally if the court decides this is a matter of public concern, then additional elements must be proven (if it is not deemed a public matter, then no further elements must be proven). If public, then because P is a public figure the following two elements must also be proven:

that the statement was false

and that D made the statement with malice (knowledge that the statement was false, or reckless disregard as to the statement's truth)
