Gossip is information that is shared about a person who isn't present. Because the information is often exclusive or privileged, it's rarely possible to verify the source or determine whether the information is true.
When it's based on factual information, gossip can be helpful. For example, having a discussion about a friend who started her own business may prompt you and other friends to reconsider your career ambitions and hold each other accountable.
Portraying someone in a negative light can be unfair to the person who is absent and unable to explain their side. It can also reflect poorly on you if you're attacking someone else's character.
