Confront him in public and demand that he apologize and retract the false expression. If he won't, then demand that he identify any people who he claims overheard the comment, and go to speak with them. If you can establish proof that he is full of nonsense, then you can sue him for defamation of character.

If this happened in a work environment, contact your supervisor and ask him/her to investigate the alleged accusations by your coworker. If his statements were indeed false, he should retract them publically.

Go to your supervisor and ask the super to intervene. This is a personnel matter not one for lawyers.

You should probably document this in writing and go talk to the boss. This can get very serious. Good luck to you.
