False rumors are unsubstantiated claims or malicious falsehoods spread about a person, often used as a form of social attack or reputation damage. They can escalate into coordinated smear campaigns designed to isolate or discredit their target.

Her reckonings with these attacks inform her broader commentary on how narratives harden into "truth" and the isolation that follows being discarded by a group.
