Well they should be, but they could get litigious if they get bad exposure.
Litigious how? It's not libel, slander, or defamation since it actually happened.
For one, they might have had some NDA as part of the interview process.
But even if not, they can bring a civil case even on dubious grounds, and the defendant still has to suffer having to defend themselves and go to court.
If they do sue, it isn't like the company has huge consequences to be scared of, and even successfully defending yourself won't feel like a "victory" compared to never having attracted the company's attention in the first place.
Reality is irrelevant in a court of law.
The law isn't though.
In order to break a law you must actually have broken the law.
Right or not, if you just threaten your opponent with enough juridical costs, they'll most of the time give up.
