Defamed, slandered (7)
I believe the answer is:
smeared
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'defamed' is the first definition.
('smear' can be a synonym of 'defame')
'slandered' is the second definition.
('smear' can be a synonym of 'slander')
(Other definitions for smeared that I've seen before include "Wiped across" , "Daubed" , "Bedaubed" .)
