I have a friend who's mom passed away. Her best friend saw that it happened on social media and never acknowledged it or reached out (they live across the country). My friend told her best friend that that was really hurtful and they talked about it.
Flash forward several months, and apparently that information spread from the best friend to an individual who is using that information to talk poorly about my friend. Somehow the story has been twisted that my friend who was hurt is being needy and annoying because she 'started drama over social media' over her mom's death.
For context she called this person out for being a creep years ago and he did not like that.
Anyway I know that it's drama, but I'm worried about my friend. She doesn't know people are saying this behind her back and I'm sad that something so personal, private and hurtful is being spread around.
Should I tell her this is happening or just let it go? Idk what is more hurtful or helpful here.
