How does blatant lying fit into Loshon Hora?
What does Lashon Hara say about the following: Last Sunday, someone blatantly lying to someone else, to her face, about a 3rd person? (#1 lied to #2 about #3 {#3 being me})
#1 to #2 (my friend): [#3] told me she moved to [suburb community] and is finally converting!
#2 was put into a corner, and didn't know what to do. And of course #1 said this in front of a small group of people. FAN-tastic (<--sarcasm)
I told #2 that I haven't spoken to #1 since November. Or sometime just after the High Holidays. At least. But still.
So there's *absolutely* NO way I personally told her I'm converting in my new community. I never see her or anyone there. It's a shlep to go for Shabbos, as I don't know anyone there who has extra space for me to stay over.
Anyhow, how can I sort this out, since I'm the one being spoken about? What am I allowed to do to rectify the situation?
PS: This is a toeles situation.
PPS: I was just getting comfortable with MY community and this similar situation. Now I have to deal with people in a community I never see?! Ugh!

So basically, #1, whom you don't even speak to, found out what you're up to (despite the fact that she never talks to you) and started blabbing to everyone else?
Lovely.
