Her "town" is the state capital, so it's not exactly small. It's just a small community - everyone ends up knowing everyone else in some way, and the wheels are turned by all of the drama that everyone thrives on. There's really no stopping it once it starts, the most you can do is learn to live with the fact that some people are going to start shit by spreading slander. Going around trying to disprove it will only make it worse, people will just see you as being desperate. You can only shrug, say that it isn't true, and leave people to assume what they will - since that's what they're going to do whether you like it or not.

It's this kind of crap around here that keeps me inside in front of the computer all the time. ;;
