I recently quit my job due to speculation and a lot of drama. Basically, my ex-boss accused me and three other employees of theft. Two were fired and me and another quit. Can my former employeer reveal why I quit and if asked woould I be eligible for re-hire, what can or would they say?

And if they reveal that information, is there any type of legal action I can take because that is considered deformation of character??

ALSO, I didn't really leave on bad terms. My former manager IS ALLOWING me to use her as a professional reference. Does that change anything?

An employer can legally provide only factual, but not opinion information. For instance, they cannot evaluate your attendance (as that is an opinion), but could state XX number of days missed in a certain time frame (fact).
Yes, they can state whether an employee is eligible for rehire or not. Because that is based on the company policies.
Very few employers will state they discharge someone for theft. Most of them will just state that an employee is not eligible for rehire and leave it at that.

Date of hire
Last day on payroll
position you were in.
legally they can't say more, but if asked they probably do share a few generalities about the job and about the type of work you did.

Each place has a differnet policy, but for a general rule usually just your title and if you were an employee if they, the new company shows a signed relase to them.

As I understand it, your former boss can only tell a prospective employer whether they would hire you back or not.
HOWEVER, on your application it asks why you left your last job and if you are dishonest they can fire you.

I wouldn't risk using that person as a reference on my resume if I were you, unless you have discussed how she will answer questions about your departure. Even if you left on good terms and she volunteered to be used as a reference, once you put her on your resume as a reference she has an obligation to be honest if they ask about why you left.

they wont be allowed to give details like that especially if nothing was proved , on a reference the only bad thing your previous employer can say is that they wouldnt employ you again. you might want to consider advice on costructive dismissal

Not much. Just the basics.
