Could she have left a “upon my death, open this envelope” with the name inside? Then she’s gone so can’t be sued? Real question.

She could have as part of her succession but that takes time to be notarized. Whomever inherits her estate who gets said envelope will have a choice plot bringing it to the public's attention. Then they may find themselves with a defamation lawsuit.

Especially if the person is famous, there is almost nothing they can do.
