Question: Can I pursue a case for defamation and misrepresentation of character and work against my former employer, and what are the potential legal avenues I can explore in this situation?

Answer: In a case of potential defamation, you should document all of the defamatory statements, including any written texts, links/urls, and communications by the other party. You can send a cease and desist letter to address issues of defamation, and misrepresentation of character. You should additionally address any damages you've suffered as a result of this - including but not limited to loss of potential work or clients due to this.
