AITAH for kicking out my SIL because of her insinuations about my career?

Every detail of her appearance and workspace was a testament to her bold, feminine style and professional dedication, a reflection of the woman she had become—confident, successful, and independent.
But the arrival of her boyfriend’s sister introduced an unexpected complexity into this carefully curated world.
What began as a gesture of support for a family in turmoil soon revealed deeper layers of vulnerability and connection, challenging her assumptions and weaving new emotional threads into the fabric of her life.

The original poster (OP) is deeply offended and feels her reputation and generosity have been severely damaged by her sister-in-law's (SIL) unfounded and judgmental accusation that she is a s*x worker.
The central conflict lies between the OP's strong belief that this accusation warrants immediate, decisive action (asking the SIL to leave) and her boyfriend's position that she is overreacting to a misunderstanding, thereby putting the OP in a defensive posture against both her partner and his family.
Is the OP justified in viewing her sister-in-law's baseless accusation and subsequent family intervention as an irreparable breach of trust and respect, or should she accept her boyfriend's assessment that this was a humorous, albeit misguided, misunderstanding that should be forgiven?
