What's wrong with my friend?!?

There's lots of other details to this story, but I'll try explain in the quickest way.

My friend has gotten herself in to a bit of a situation. She was wronged by one of her friends and her *best* friend (who she has feelings for). She wants to remain friends (maybe more) with her best friend but is finding it hard to forgive him. She spoke about the situation to a few people, and everybody came back with some negative things to say about him, how she shouldn't trust him etc. She told him everything that each of them said about him, but when he confronted them they denied it, all of them. They said " She twisted my words", " She's just trying to hurt you" etc.

Now everybody has blocked her on social media and they don't want anything to do with her. The rumours are, that she craves drama, she's a shit stirrer, she's selfish and manipulative.

The last conversation I had with her, she said that she was really confused about why everybody was denying it. Basically, she's now saying things like "maybe I am making it up and I just don't realise?", " Maybe I'm a sociopath", " Maybe I'm manipulating you right now, without even knowing!". I'm never sure what to say, or how to feel about that.

I think she's trying to get the answers so much that it's resulted in her even blaming herself, just for some sort of clarity. Luckily, I'm looking in from the outside and I don't intend on stepping in, but she is so hard on herself all the time and it worries me, saying things like "Everybody would still be friends if it wasn't for me" "I'm just a problem". She told me that she was walking passed the bridge one day and she imagined herself jumping off. Although she said to me " Come on, you know I'd never actually do that" it still worries me. I think she needs a break from her own mind.

Views?

PS. I'm well aware that this sounds like some high school drama shit, but they're all in their mid 20's, bit ridiculous.

She obviously has a flair for drama...but it would be isolating to feel like everyone is ganging up on you and you have no one in your side. I'm sure she expected at least one friend to have her back and it turns out she was wrong.

On one hand I am not sure what she expected the result to be ...? Its not surprising to me that everyone sees her as a shit starter. But on the other hand, people need to stand behind their word or keep their mouth shut

She sounds draining honestly.

Her friends probably were trying to make her feel better, and she involved them right in the middle of her mess. I'd be upset with her too, especially if there was no warning she would go back and tell him. Then, to be confronted? She did make a mess there. She needs to realize it and move on. I'm sure it's hurtful that he betrayed her and now her friends have turned on her, but she needs to let him go as a friend because she's still hurt, and apologize to her friends for involving them.

Thanks guys, I haven't been on here much lately, so late reply. I have distanced myself from her, and everybody else really because I can't be bothered with it. But do you think she is being dramatic or I dunno, part of me thinks I should be there for her and not just walk away. She is having a hard time, I don't know if she deliberately causes drama or not. It's very hard to say.

I want to keep her as a friend but now all of my friends hate her, it's become awkward for me and has resulted in me just avoiding all of them hahaha. Because I don't want to be put in a position where I have to choose sides.
