They may not really be asking for truth, just validation of what they have already decided to do or what they want to keep on doing.
I would only share what my personal experience was- not gossip.
I remember playing the "telephone game" as a kid and what the last person heard was never what the first person said.

Most of the time, I think it is a set-up, too. Yes, the "telephone game" remains!
If I have actual, personal information about something like a person being dangerous (physically or emotionally), I would disclose it. But, the thing that I am more interested in with this whole matter is the "motovation" behind the question(s).
Even when I have had a falling-out with someone, I still keep whatever we may have shared confidential. It's called having honor and integrity.
