Character Assassination
Character Assassination is a deliberate and sustained effort to damage the reputation or credibility of an individual. The term could also be selectively applied to social groups and institutions. Agents of character assassinations employ a mix of open and covert methods to achieve their goals, such as raising false accusations, planting and fostering rumours, and manipulating information.
Character Assassination happens through character attacks. These can take many forms, such as spoken insults, speeches, pamphlets, campaign ads, cartoons, and Internet memes. As a result of character attacks, individuals may be rejected by their professional community or members of their social or cultural environment. For some historical figures, that damage endures for centuries.
Character Assassination may involve exaggeration, misleading half-truths, or manipulation of facts to present an untrue picture of the targeted person. It is a form of defamation and can be a form of ad hominem argument. – Wikipedia.
A character assassination is a deliberate attempt to destroy someone’s reputation, especially by criticizing them in an unfair and dishonest way when they are not present. – Collins.

The character assassination. Close cousin of the smear campaign.
Built on a foundation of lies also, hurtful and effective.
The smear campaign is outward facing namely it is aimed at third parties in order to affect their way of thinking. A character assassination is directed to and at you.
There are three ways of assassinating your character.
The first is to say things to you which are unpleasant, demeaning and hateful which accordingly dent and wound your sense of well-being.
The second is to do things to you which are denigrating, disrespectful and nasty which cause your sense of self-worth to be eroded, for instance failing to make you something to eat (so as to treat you as non-existent) or to make you engage in some sexual practice you find distasteful (thus causing you to cheapen yourself). Those two methods are obvious and directed.
The third method is a particularly insidious and troubling way of affecting your character.
We tell you that other people think badly of you, do not like and are saying things about you.
They are not of course.
We avoid or reduce any risk of you finding this out by saying to you.
“There’s no point asking them of course, they are bound to deny it, but trust me, I have heard them. They didn’t think I could hear.”
Furthermore, whilst increasing your paranoia and making you feel bad, we also seize the opportunity to heighten our own virtue with you by stating,
“Of course I don’t think that of you, but I thought it was only right to let you know what is being said about you.”
Naturally we do think this of you because this falsehood is being generated by us. Accordingly, we are able to avoid any blame ourselves (a key aim of ours) whilst landing several blows against you caused by fictitious remarks from other people and drawing fuel from your confused and upset reaction. There are five methods by which we create a perceived pressure generated by other people against you, as part of this character assassination by proxy.
