How Do You Respond to Negative Rumors About You?

People like to talk, there’s no doubt about that. And unfortunately, the kind of news that travels the farthest is the bad kind. But how do you respond when the bad rumour is about you?
Yesterday, in a sweet anniversary post, Nollywood veteran Dakore Egbuson-Akande seemingly shut down divorce rumours about her and her husband, Olumide.
She shared a sweet video of her husband watching their young daughters dance with the caption – ” Best support system. Happy 10th Anniversary babe @_o.lou “Sadly once they realize hating isn’t working they start telling lies” #Psalm35 #ShameToBadPeople” See the post here.
This got us thinking – what is the best way to respond to a rumour about you? Do you;
A: Stay quiet and let it die down. They all do eventually.
B: Address them immediately. Why let the rumours linger if you know the truth.
C: Wait for an opportune time to address it. Why rush? It’s a lie anyway.
There’s no doubt that there are many ways to kill a fish. What way do you prefer?
