QUESTION
I was called a thief in front of a dining room full of people at an Assisted Living Facility. I never got an apology. Do I have a case.

More details to this question:
I was working in the Housekeeping Department. One Saturday one of the resident's purse went missing. I was approached by the Marketing Director. She asked me if I saw the purse I said no. She asked me if I was sure because she was going to pull the cameras. I told her to go ahead. She accused me of taking money out of her purse because there wasn't anyone else in the office. She did this in front of a dining room full of people.

Possibly. Your question seems to blend two instances, one the residents purse the second the managers. There does not appear to be any real damages here other than sme embarrassment.
