I had lunch with a media owner on Fri who is now a good friend and I heard from her the most ridiculous rumor about me and also I considered the most vicious one...
That I am having a lesbian relationship with someone I hired and used to work with me just because I am close to the people who work with me.
I was shocked beyond words and simply cannot fathom how someone can spread such unfounded rumors.
1. this person does not know me at all for if he/she knows, surely he/she must know I am one of the most motherly figures in my industry(and this comes from my many friends and associates who know me. Not forgeting the fact that I am married now for 13 years with two lovely children)
2. this person is simply quite ignorant and in his/her ignorance has turned vicious
3. God protected His children from harm
On hindsight I am extremely thankful this rumor did not get to me while I was working in my previous company. Now that I have left and my 'supposedly' subodinate is now working in another company with a lot less contact, this rumor is dispelled automatically.
Despite my sinful nature, I will pray for God to bless and me to forgive this person for surely, he/she does not know what he/she is doing...
