Can a store show employees a video of a supposed shoplifting case if the suspects have been proven innocent?

My girlfriend and I were falsely accused by former employer of shoplifting (3 months after leaving the store). After we were proven innocent we were again accused of same crime about ten minutes later. store personal were incredibly rude, and once again we were proven innocent. Next day we were harassed again and told we were banned from store. They have continued to show fellow workers who I am friends with the video claiming we were shoplifting. I have a spotless record and anyone who knows me can tell you that I would have never stolen anything. Can they legally smudge do this.
