This is probably good advice for her. Since there isn't a "reason" she doesn't want to be friends with them (i.e., neither girl slept with her boyfriend, tried to stab her, etc.) a slow phase-out is probably ideal.
I had to break up with my BEST friend back in June. I don't think I've ever had a friend I was so close to. I was struggling through a hard time, she got fed up and said a lot of mean things about me (as a person, not with relation to the circumstances.) I told her very calmly that "I don't think I can be friends with someone who feels the way you do about me." We quit talking that day and haven't been in contact since.
When people ask about her (we used to do everything together), I just say lightly "Oh, we broke up" and laugh it off and promptly change the subject. I don't hate my ex-friend; I just don't want to be close friends with her anymore. So I have no need to trash-talk her to everyone who asks how she's doing.
