I work in a tipping position. 6/25/2015, I was told that my coworker was telling the customers and my coworkers the reason I have been gone for 3and a half weeks is because I have been lock up and I got my ankle broken in jail. This has been really upsett

This happened on the job Thursday I was told she told like 8 customers this that she was serving from another employee, as I was doing my job I had someone from management say to me I know why you been gone for 3 weeks and how your ankle got broken, when I went to the break room I was told the the same thing again of how and the person showed up that said this I asked that person why would you say that,I was told because I saw your name in the paper I said not true it was not me their is other in this stat with the same name I have, Next day it started over with other coworkers.
