Workplace rumour

This seems like a form of harassment or bullying in the workplace. And your employers have a vicarious duty of care towards you. Make contact with a law firm that specialises in Employment Law. Workplace Relations may also be able to help you.

Jaysus, she sounds like a complete bitch.

Get a solicitor before going to HR, get your ducks in a row and be prepared to look for another job (probably with a few extra quid in your pocket).

Alternatively, If you have smoothed things over with the wife then maybe have the wife ask her why she contacted her and was she looking to break up your marriage, that having seen the message was asking about a jacket that you also sent to other colleagues it seemed very unprofessional to be contacting a colleagues wife.

This bitch clearly wants people to believe you were chasing her for a bang, whether right or wrong but no harm at least having her know in her own head that it's bullshit and she wasn't getting special treatment.

OP be very careful about going to HR. You won't win that battle tbh. Contact a solicitor and talk through the options but chances are they will just tell you to ignore and see if something else happens or to look for a new job and get out early with a clean start.

Vexatious complaints should be covered by your grievance procedures as well in work. Casting aspersions on someones character and defaming them are grounds for her dismissal
