I put a video on youtube of me dancing, but i took it off. A ton of people saw it- and this one guy told a bunch of people that it was a video of me STRIPPIPNG! Then this one girl who was told that told EVERYONE else! Now everyone in my dance studio thinks i'm some stripper whore.
What can I do about this? i feel terrible and guilty. and i'm not even a stripper!
And think about it, if the video wasn't vulgar or remotely considered "stripping" then ask people to watch the video. That way they will know you aren't stripping. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]

let me know if this helped.

pootietang answered Monday June 25 2007, 7:42 pm: YouTube does not let you post videos of nudity, so that doesn't make sense that you posted a video like that.
Just let it go. You know the truth, they don't. And if anyone asks you about it, just tell them you were dancing. If they don't believe you, tell them you don't care if they believe because you know what really happened. [ pootietang's advice column | Ask pootietang A Question ]
Michelley answered Monday June 25 2007, 7:34 pm: Aw girl that sucks!!! but the only thing i can tell you is not to care. and i know you do, but don't show it. if someone says something to you about it, dont get mad just be like "i wasn't stripping and i cant believe people are saying that. its so sad people are so immature" and walk away. The less attention you give it, the less attention other people will give it. They just want a reaction out of you and if you don't give it to them, they'll move on to some other poor girl that has rumors going around about her. Just be classy and the bigger person!
HoPe I HeLpEd!!*

Ashumms answered Monday June 25 2007, 7:32 pm: First of all, you have nothing to feel guilty about. They are the ones that have absolutely no life, or they wouldn't spend all their time talking bad about you. That is pathetic.
But onto your problem, don't get all upset. Tell them calmly that it was actually a video of you dancing, not stripping. If they don't believe you, show them the video.
If this doesn't work and they still keep going on about you being a stripper, just blow it off. Gossipers get really frustrated when the people they are spreading rumors about don't seem to care at all. When confronted about it, just say something like, "Wow, that is so sweet that you care so much about me that that's all you want to talk about." Or, "Wow, I can't believe that your life is so boring that you can't find anything to talk about but me."
Cux answered Monday June 25 2007, 7:30 pm: As I see it, you have two options:
1. You can ignore what people are saying, and don't let it get to you. If people see that their nasty comments don't bother you, they won't say anything much longer. Trust me. People stopped making up rumors about me after they realized it didn't bother me anymore.
OR
2. You can set people straight and tell them that it was just of you dancing. You could also go straight to the source and tell the guy that he's lying. Maybe he didn't even know that he was hurting you. But, he probably did, and he needs to be told that he was wrong, regardless. Set the record straight, and tell him not to mess with you.
whatsherface answered Monday June 25 2007, 7:27 pm: That's annoying as hell. People should seriously get lives.
You should put the video back up & tell everyone to watch it to prove that you weren't stripping.
