"An apology is fine. But I hope it's sincere, not just perfunctory. And you should also pay compensation for emotional distress."
“These days, rumors are flying everywhere. People point and whisper about me when I walk on the street. I can’t sleep at night and I’m on the verge of a breakdown. If this continues, I’ll get sick sooner or later.”
