You’re having lunch with three people you respect and admire. They all start criticizing a close friend of yours, not knowing she is your friend. The criticism is distasteful and unjustified. What do you do?

Tell them she was my friend and if it was unjustified I would tell them I didn't care for their BS.

I would have to defend the friend. If I could not get them to at least stop talking about him/her I would then leave.

I would correct them. I have no problem standing up for a friend to others. I wouldn't be much of a friend if I didn't. Isn't a friend someone I also admire and respect? If not then they really aren't a friend.

Nothing. Opinions are that.
Unless of course your friend says lies and you can correct her on that.
