ZINTER, Justice,
(concurring).
[¶ 27.] I concur and write only to point out that we have only addressed the alleged defamatory statements made to HRMC employees in their investigation. We have not addressed an alleged defamatory statement Linke made to her mother and a statement she may have made to T.B. There is a dispute whether those statements, if actionable, were pleaded and preserved. There is also a dispute whether the trial court considered them. Because the trial court’s memorandum decision does not reflect that it ruled on the privileged status of these additional statements, we have not considered them in this appeal.
