You have the right to tell your employer what happened. Your employer will make a decision based on the information they have. Do you want them to have both sides or just the other employee's version? If you choose to not answer direct questions from your employer you can rest assured that you will be fired. If you have nothing to hide when it comes to this confrontation you should speak up about the matter. Legally you have the right to remain silent, then you will have the right to sign up for unemployment.
