There are multiple possible reactions. Firstly, they could be empathetic. For instance, if the real story was about someone's struggle with mental illness that they had been hiding, the person who knew might show understanding and support. Secondly, they could be motivated to take action. If the real story was about environmental damage being covered up, an environmentalist might be spurred to raise awareness and fight for change. Thirdly, they could be in denial, especially if the real story was too hard to accept, like a loved one's criminal past. But eventually, they would have to come to terms with it depending on how strong the evidence of the real story is.
They might be shocked. For example, if it was a story about a person's hidden past full of lies and deceptions, those who thought they knew that person well would be very surprised. They could also feel angry, especially if the real story had a negative impact on them or people they care about.
