Appalling Truths

What do you do when the truth about an individual is so uncomfortable and so appalling that if you were to voice it you'd be met with resistance and instant defamation?

Do you gain indisputable evidence to support yourself? The arguments against you will surely come, but successfully defending yourself in an argument against a crowd is always at most a pyrric victory.
Do you just keep quiet? Say nothing to maintain the peace?
Does it just depend on the situation? There's no answer now, I'll just deal with that if and when I get there...
I don't know the "right answer" if there is one so I am just leaving this up as an open question. Hopefully, some kind and wise person will drop an answer in the comment box for me.
