Just brought up what happened. What I told them was getting back to me, but with incorrect additions. Told them what I heard was from our mutual friend who they told earlier that day.
Asked if we could keep the conversation information private, get a clean slate and move past this and continue our fantastic work relationship.
Nothing accusatory, just facts. Receipts ready if needed. Thankfully we were on the same page.

A gentle text saying we need to talk, then a phone call solving the issue with a caveat we need to insure this doesn’t disrupt our work environment.

Yes. It was a candid, uncomfortable and necessary. We still work very well together but I consider this a learning experience.

Working exclusively with co worker on tons of projects. We got to know each other well. During lunch I dropped my guard, we shared a few personal items.
Later found out we run in similar friends groups, I was unaware until my phone popped off with tons of texts from a certain person in this group. Was not a great convo…it became a game of telephone booth with multiple people sharing a worse and worse version of the comment (which was exclusively about me).
Lesson learned. I keep everyone at arms length. No questions.
