If a passenger told me another crew member was rude, I would listen without interrupting, acknowledge the concern, and focus first on resolving the passenger's immediate issue. I would not dismiss the complaint, but I also would not criticize my colleague in front of the passenger.
I would say something like, "I am sorry that interaction left you feeling that way. Let me help with what you need right now." That keeps the conversation productive instead of turning it into a public argument about who was right. If there was a service or communication problem I could fix in the moment, I would handle it there.
