Hello.

Are the following sentences grammatically correct?

"One day, he called me. He began talking about another girl, speaking badly of her, even though they also spoke on the telephone and they had a kind of relationship. I do not understand that and I think Of Kevin's attitudes. Besides that story, it bothered me enough that he was always “following” me everywhere. Those situations were very unpleasant for me."

Thanks.

In casual, colloquial speech, you could say that he was "trash-talking" the other girl. I consider it a mostly AmE phrase but it is heard in BrE.
 
You could also say he was bad-mouthing her.
