Email criticising my work to whole team

My office manager sent out an email today to the whole team pointing out some minor mistakes that I made.
Ie I processed an invoice that was zero vat with vat and an invoice that hadn’t been scanned (it’s still with the director for authorisation)
The tone was quite derogatory and it’s left me feeling utterly humiliated and embarrassed.
Whilst I appreciate mistakes shouldn’t happen and they need rectified I don’t think it’s justified for him to deal with it in this manner - I feel he could have reprimanded me in private or emailed me alone.
Before Christmas he was unduly harsh in his treatment of me and refused to speak to me for several months - if I joined in a conversation he would walk off etc - I spoke with our boss and told her I felt harassed and bullied by him I wouldn’t make it official as it would make life more difficult in the long run - eventually about 6 weeks ago he started talking to me again.
Before I make life difficult for myself again can I check that it is not ok for him to do this - that it’s not ok to be humiliated in this manner?

@Flyinga, it's not coming from the top though, is it?

The Op said her director has just been promoted and is likely to be treading on eggshells around him as it hasn't gone down well. He's probably upset that a woman has been promoted above him (boo hoo).

Well, tough tit. I would be talking to her and telling her in no uncertain terms his behaviour is unacceptable and asking her to reign him in with the mild threat that you are starting to document everything in case you need it later.

It's fine saying this in the safety of MN, quite scared to do in RL

So waiting for the next raft of silent treatment and naming and shaming emails is easier?

One invoice wasnt scanned as its waiting for a signature and are zero vat invoices common?
