You feel attacked. People are pointing at you and whispering. Some, are total strangers, and some are people you know. People you thought were your friends seem to be avoiding you lately. You hear that you’re being gossiped about. You’re being lied about. You start to feel like an outcast in your own social group. They spread lies about you and bash you in an attempt to tear you apart from the people and places you love.

I hope you never experience this, but if you do, there is a good chance you are a victim of a narcissistic smear campaign.

Narcissists recruit others to spread the lies, to actively participate in the damage to the target’s reputation.

The psychological term for these associates is:FLYING MONKEYS.
