"Love the Lessons of Life" It's ok to try and keep peace with everyone. But when people violate... It cause for immediate, Constructive Action. This applies to "anyone" but in this message, honing in on those we care deeply about...dk, Someone else may need This:

Stop the line.When someone talks to you, saying ugly or bad things about someone you like, love or care about... Just because they have a personal "beef" or problem with them.... Set Boundaries AsaP...

Stop the Line

Do not tolerate it. Speak up... Kindly but directly, tell them... "Personally, you like, care or love that person. And if they have a problem with the person, you suggest (if possible) they either talk civil and peacefully with that person to reslove the problem... or Take it to God. If not religious, refer them to a positive source. "Love is Universal" certainly try that.

Be Defensive

You see, when we do not defend but listen to someone talk "trash" about others, it usually sends a message to them, that we are in sync with their behavior. Which can be furthest from the truth...

Stay True

Also, in this case, we are not being true to ourselves or the one that's being talked about. One of the best defenses, is to speak up, let them know the "trash talk" is not cool with you.

Set Boundaries

When you take this approach, you are setting boundaries and sending a message to them, what they attempted to do is not allowed; And to not try that with you again.

Mom's Advice

My mom used to say "if you can't say nothing good; then try saying nothing at all"...Lessons of Life... I tell ya, they are great and one never gets too old to "level up" and seriously take heed, just saying.
