if it is done tactfully and keeping in mind that she is a human being, it's at least worth making the effort. letting her know in a sensible adult way that her portrayal is bothering other people will be more useful (not to mention mature) than, say, continuing to take the piss out of her on an anonymous forum
like if you (I use the general 'you' here for everyone who has been talking about this) don't want someone to react in the worst possible way there are. y'know. alternatives to giving them the information in the worst possible way. you can't be surprised that someone is paranoid and upset about people openly talking shit behind their backs, because that is literally exactly what's been happening.
if she receives the criticism and throws a fit/acts like she's being persecuted, at least you can say you've tried and everyone's made their own beds.
