Overview
Do not believe all the juicy stories you are hearing about someone right now. They might be awfully entertaining, but they are also not true. You don't usually believe everything you hear without question, so why start believing now? Think about how you would feel if it were you who were the subject of such gossip. Apply some real empathy to this situation. The next time someone tries to use you to spread this type of story around, don't pass it on. Make it stop with you.
