People do that for many reasons:
Getting back at another person
Jealousy
Attempting to get ahead (employment reasons)

Answer 3

I really think that people who make nasty remarks about others are insecure people who don't like themselves. They feel they have to tear others down in order to make themselves look better to others or feel better about themselves.They are very sad people.So if someone is doing that to you,ignore them. Your real friends will not believe the things being said about you.

Jealousy.
