Unfortunately, you cannot keep true information regarding your employment out of the ears of others. An exception to this would be if you have a contract with the employer which prohibits them from speaking about your employment (I've never heard of such a contract, but people are free to agree to whatever contract they desire). Another exception would be if the information told to others was FALSE, and the people KNEW it was false when they said it. From my understanding, neither situation exists in your case.
