WWYD people gossiping about a good friend

It’s a local moms exercise group which only has about 50 members. Everyone sort of knows each other. Discussion topics are usually kids related but sometimes veer into to family relationships. Today they are discussing sordid affairs and some people are bringing up details about a group member who no longer posts or reads the posts. There are a lot of very personal details provided. Easy to guess who the person is. I asked admin to remove the thread but admin refuses. The person who is being discussed is a personal close friend. Some of the people who are commenting are her friends. I don’t know if I should alert my friend or just let it be?


OP, you could always quit the group, that is, if you don't perceive yourself as fitting in with a bunch of worthless overweight fish-wife gossips.

I say shame them and stay there to fight. If I thought my friend could take it I'd tell her. I'd want to know if people I thought were my friends were not.


Who cares if they talk about you? They are assholes anyway. —PP who would publicly quit
