This is not to far from the way things really work. True, anyone can be sued. There are about 3 points at which the suit can end, and the further it goes, the more it costs. In some cases, it might be dismissed in a few weeks and wold cost you "only" a few thousand $$ or maybe less.
The other thing to bear in mind is that no attorney will take a suit that is really ridiculous -- "frivolous" is the term. If they do, the Court will fine the attorney. Also, even if not frivolous, your costs for your attorney might be paid by the person who brought the suit.
Truth is always a defense.
But this is serious business and very expensive. Don't lie about people (companies are 'people").
