It doesn't even have to be a tramatic experience.  The urge to "justify" 
oneself is what does you in.  Everyone is going around saying you did this, 
or you did that, and here you are, wanting to explain just what it was you 
DID do.
If the allegations are false better to just deny them, without explaining 
what you did do, or just keep your mouth shut.  But how to coach people on 
that?
Don't know for sure.
