You can sue all you want. Will you get anything out of it? No, unless you have some concrete information beyond gossip about you being discriminated against because of being in a protected class, and even then, proving that would be extremely difficult.
It may be true B was rude at A when they're together , but it also could well be B got along with A well too, but B talked one way in front of A or me, and acted othewise behind the scene of A or me. In other words, B told me he liked me and disliked A, but he might have told A he liked A disliked me too .... no wonder he landed onto the low pay and low level job in spite of his previous good career.
I think, if someone ever had a great career, but ended up with doing survival job, low pay, long hours, replaceable , it's because of the person's problem.. I ever had career better than this one too and i know what personal problem i had.
B had great career before, and happened to be in the same field of mine - from conversations, I identified B's background was very true.

My employer was forced to close business due to loss, he wrote letter to everyone about the matter and told us a new company is taking over all his existing clients and employees ( so you guys keep the jobs, don't worry ), and he's still our manager for 2 more years.
However, the boss did not recommend me to the new employer, due to his negative impression about me.
Below is the story happened when i was working with them :
A coworker ( coworker A ) liked gossip. He spoke bad words about the boss and other coworkers to me ( i kept silent ) , and also spoke bad words about me to the boss, the boss trusted him, therefore
the boss didn't think of me positively.
Another coworker ( coworker B ) had shifts with me and with coworker A separately. According to both of them, when coworker B had shifts with coworker A, always ended up with unhappy shifts, partiall due to coworker A 's behavior, partially because coworker B looked down on coworker A,
However, when coworker B had shifts with me, always happy shifts and interacted positively, plus coworker B's background was similar to mine.
Due to coworker B 's bad attitude against coworker A, coworker A spoke bad words about coworker B to boss, and also started saying me positively to the boss. But coworker B happened to be the boss' familiar friends for many years , so, the boss was not influenced by coworker A at all regardless how and on the contrary started thought coworker A negatively.
BUT, even though coworker B got along well with me, the friendliness didn't foster my relation with the boss even though he's boss's friend..
Assuming the boss' impression on me was penalized by coworker A's gossip against me, since coworker B was boss' good friend for many years and i got along well with coworker B, the boss should be influenced by coworker B. ( since they're friends for many years, it is not possible coworker B did not talk about how he felt about coworkers with boss ) ,but the matter did not go that way..
I'm sure there is more to this story, but if Part B is like this one, Part A, I don't think I want to hear it, LOL.
While you are reviewing, you might consider that it was something about your performance, specifically, or about your personality (such as obsessing over things) that made your Boss think that you were not a good candidate for the new company.
People rarely are that turned off from office gossip. Most people know to take it with a grain of salt, especially someone in management.
On the other hand, have you considered that perhaps you really aren't a good match for the new company?
Move on, quit thinking about all this . . . find another job.
