I agree, keep schtum and just do the work. I worked for a woman who was ruthless and detested, people got to appreciate that I wouldn't say a bad word and often relied on me to "sound" things out.
Over time I gained an excellent reputation for professionalism and I got a lot of respect. When she left she told me she knew what people said and appreciated the fact that I had stood up at times, kept my mouth closed at others and she knew that I'd bounced ideas for other people. She, despite her fearsome reputation, put a lot of effort and training into me and I credit her for helping me get to where I am today.
Sometimes the best thing is to listen and then ignore the gossip.
Negativity rages through gossip like wildfire, bet you find if he'd been brilliant and done something excellent no one would care!
