Just let it go, unless it influence your work, and then go through policies and procedures to make a complaint. Alternatively, call for a team meeting and discuss it openly. Do not try to tell people your side one by one, they’ll just use it against you.
I wouldn’t get yourself involved and keep your distance. I would not let other people make me loose my cool. There is nothing worse than having to show up to your job when it feels like you re being harassed because you did something stupid- always play the nice guy and more people will like you. Number one rule don’t trust any body.
