The lead character, Malèna, is the one being talked (gossiped, really) about by the other women in the film.

Dwij disagreed with the rating and said:
None of the women who gossip about her are named. Anyway, this film is highly misogynistic when presenting the title character (exploiting her) as the Victim and other women as stereotypical, ugly 'bitches' who hate her.

This should be a 1/3. The only named female characters are Malena and the prostitute Lupetta and they don't talk to each other.
Also I'm pretty sure that when the bitchy gossips talk about Malena, the subtext is that they're jealous that she steals their husbands' attention, which becomes clear when they beat her up and gloat they'll be the ones to satisfy their men.
