AITA for calling out my coworker in front of clients for pocketing MY tip money??

ok so babe, I've worked at the same nail salon for going on 3 years now, me (28F) and my coworker Jenna (27F) share the same station area and cover each other's chairs when one of us runs to the bathroom or grabs lunch. last friday I had a full set client, Priya, tip me $40 CASH while I stepped away for like 5 mins to grab supplies. Jenna was covering my chair for those 5 mins. Priya texted me later asking if I got the tip ok since she handed it to "the girl finishing up" and I said yes bc I didn't wanna make it weird, but I never got it!! I asked Jenna straight up and she got all defensive saying she "forgot" and would Venmo me, then never did. so today Priya came back in for a fill and I brought it up right there at the station, kinda loud, like "hey did you ever end up giving Jenna that $40 or nah" in front of her and two other clients waiting. Jenna turned RED and said I embarrassed her on purpose and stormed to the back. now she's telling everyone in our group chat I "attacked" her over forty dollars and our boss wants to talk to both of us monday. I don't feel bad, that's rent money babe, but some of the girls think I should've handled it private.
