No. See the definition to follow.

Slander: a false, malicious spoken statement, especially one which is injurious to a person's reputation; the making of such a statement; to utter a slanderous statement

Note the fact that it must be FALSE to qualify. Rub that in her face.

And actually, it would be libel, since it is written word, not spoken. Not that that matters, because the requirement for libel is the same; the statement must be false.
