Narcissists in my experience are expert manipulators. The way they can turn things is quite breathtaking. I'm sorry you and your defender are going through this.
This is my experience too.
I fortunately clocked and blocked him immediately. The folks he's managed to bait into his subsequent smear campaign (including this defender) are now learning a lesson of their own, lol.
The good news is the more he escalates the less I care -- he comes across as absolutely nutso which makes him way easier to clock.
so many hugs
smear campaigns enrage me ♾️👿 it's one of my button issues
