'AITA for defending my boss in front of her family?': Corporate worker deflects lies about her boss at family dinner, and it makes things awkward

One woman wrote about her experiences at an awkward family dinner that she had with her boyfriend, his family, and… her boss. 

The writer explained that her boyfriend's cousin Nora is her boss. They work together at a "prestigious" corporate job, where Nora is celebrated for her leadership. The OP and her boss ended up at a family event together, and the OP drops an interesting tidbit. Apparently her boyfriend doesn't like Nora for some unspecified reasons. And when their family had a get together, the boyfriend, James, and his father began asking about Nora's work reputation. 

The OP seemed surprised to hear that, since she'd only had good experiences at the company so far. In the comments, people let the OP know that she had better ask her boyfriend some important questions about Nora to figure out why there's bad blood between them.
