If I find out they're *****ing and gossiping about anyone behind their backs, whether it's myself or another team member, they're 100% in the ****.

I'd tell her you're not the one to talk to about it, if she has a problem she should tell the person she has the issue with and sort it out..
Thank you for sharing your perspective as a manager. I think she does go to our boss to express her concerns and ideas. However, if our boss says, "No, this is the way we will proceed," I think that's when she comes to me and complains about incompetence. (I do think my boss is open to suggestions and ideas.)
