Can I be fired it I did nothing wrong?
My husband and I worked at the same business. This business provided us with free housing. He was terminated due to sexual harassment allegations, no proof. My husband and I worked in the same office. They in turn terminated me as well even though I had no allegations toward me. My employment history was exceptional and I don’t understand why they let me go. Do I have any rights? Do they have a right to do this considering we live here. what should we do?

You can be fired for any reason oe no reason at all. This is called "at will employment". Accordingly, a company can set the conditons of employment much as it sees fit. Therefore, unless this action constitutes some form of legal discrimination (and it does not appear to) or it violates the terms of an employment policy or union agreement, unfortuntely, you have no claim here.
