if i lie about someone do i have to go to the people i said the lie too and confess about my lie? as well as that person?
Do i have to own up to the people i lied too about someone else
You should probably begin by going to the person you slandered.
The Shulchan Oruch tells us that if a person approaches a person that they wronged, they should forgive them - at least on the third time they ask. However, if the wrongdoing was spreading a lie about them (motzie shem ra), then they do not have to forgive - since the lie is continuing. However, it is humility to forgive.
