We can’t control it, and we’ve basically quit trying. People are going to talk, and people are going to lie.

Meaning of the quote

This quote means that we can't stop people from gossiping or telling lies about us. No matter what we do, people will still talk and make up stories. The best thing to do is to not worry about it and focus on the things we can control instead of trying to stop the rumors.
