AIBU to expect some loyalty from my boss?

Hi all,
Current situation at work. A few months ago We had a new girl start at work who's behaviour was a bit questionable in our exec offices. She's a bit immature, very loud, constantly on her phone, shouting down her phone takin personal calls about 'f*kin ppl up' and everyone on our exec floor can hear, leaves mess everywhere, films everything, puts it on the Internet which is a sackable offence at my work but I turned a blind eye as she was new to this kind of job and she was a nice girl (so I thought) anyways an incident happened at work where she bought an unauthorised person into work after hours (a man) and my boss (who isn't her boss) saw & asked me to find out who he was. As this girl was new I said I'd speak to her and no need to bring the girls managers into it. I spoke to her and explained she can't do that here in this particular setting (confidential info everywhere etc) and my boss wasn't happy... for her to say I was 'starting on' her, I'm 'tryin to lose her her job' , 'how dare I' etc etc. The next few days were awkward, kissing her teeth at me, attitude, snide comments & actin immature all for my boss to see, I stuck up for myself, a few harsh words and she soon shut up. Anyways She then told her managers, who are never at my base to see her behaviour, alot of lies about what happened with her gentleman caller (!) about me and my team (if she had told the truth about the man she'd have been disciplined, maybe sacked as she's on probation) and after that we never saw her again as she started workin at another base. During this time she was slating me, my boss, other managers at my base to anyone who would listen and posting indirect things about me on the Internet which soon got back to me from internal staff. This included her calling me racial slurs, (she's black, I'm white) indirect threats of violence and other nonsense. As I assumed she wasn't comin back to my base I didn't take it further but my bosses were aware. Fast forward 5 months, the girl's boss wants her at my base more so she's been about this week. However her boss (who may I add ignores me now) has approached my boss's senior to ask for another office for the girl cos of me, basically makin out I'm bullying her in some way however her request was refused. I'm furious about this request as I've not seen her since April & her attitude towards me in front of others has been disgusting plus her boss clearly doesn't know about her carry on in these offices. Anyways she's back in my office.. Complete silence, which suits me fine as I'm very busy in my role but yesterday I was in utter shock when she and my boss were laughing and joking about their holidays and my boss complimenting her quite sickly if I'm honest. My boss is fully aware of what's happened and I've expressed to her before that I'd rather the girl moved (as she wants to be moved Aswell!) because of all that business she's put on the Internet plus the fact I've not made a big thing like a grievance about this as I know my boss doesn't want headache. My other boss can't stand this girl and her behaviour in the office and is goin to speak to my other boss about moving her but I don't think she'll give the green light about this now as rooms in our dept is tight plus they're jokey chats I've witnessed. AIBU? I know I should get over it but I actually feel really hurt that my boss has done this and there's no loyalty here which I spose I was kidding thinkin she had some for, works work I spose. AIBU?

And if she's used social media to further this dispute that probably brings the company into disrepute and contravenes the social media policy as well.

I'm afraid that having someone moved in the workplace is an unreasonable request if it's down to personal dislike. If you had taken it seriously and gone to HR then the chances are that she would not be working in close proximity to you

She sounds like a pain, why on earth were you prepared to put your job at risk by helping her conceal her unprofessional behaviour?
Next time something happens, report it through the correct channels, don't try to handle it yourself. Make sure you collect and keep any evidence of her behaviour, especially if she becomes abusive or threatening again.

You need to make a log of everything that has happened from beginning to present OP... otherwise I can see you being forced out.. I agree with everyone else.. you must make formal complaints and fast Flowers
