Did he have the opportunity to use your phone to make these personal texts?
No Not my phone my bluetooths were moved around that's it. We were using the same network.

In my experience bluetooth does not work like this.
Predictive text comes from what is entered using the keyboard.
When you say 'using the same network' I am assuming that you mean the same Wi-Fi network, not Bluetooth.
I don't understand how his personal texts could appear on your device without him using your phone.

Exactly I cant figure it out. He never used my phone. I was also able to see the company's marketing emails as well. Their has to be a logical explanation could you ask around please

You were probably signed up to the company's e-mail system.
That is why you would get e-mails from them.
Any company that gets your e-mail address- you can expect to get e-mails from them and any other entity that they choose to give your e-mail to.
I am not sure, but if he used a bluetooth keyboard and connected it with your device, then he could have used your device to send texts.
And that may have shown up in your bluetooth history (or whatever).
Also, a pin would need to have been accepted on your device for the keyboard to link to it.
Like I said, I am just guessing here.

You say that you lost your job over this?
Perhaps you should contact a lawyer, who would know someone that is a network security expert.
This might serve you better.

They never had my email I was lying about having a call that had service. Because he was very sexually harassing. He had his doubts I was lying later i was demoted chezzy fell down this came as soon as i was about to spill the beans to his boss. A computer programmer would maybe know thank you for replying I thought the same too with the bluetooth keyboard. My bluetooth headphones beep when I actually pass my old work which is strange because I've never used them on their network. I was getting different locations on my maps at that time as well. I would be somewhere, maps showed me elsewhere I dont know I wished I could figure it out I cant let it go because it almost cost my life as well as paranoia

Oh, boy...
Bluetooth can be used with keyboards, and if anyone in IT has your information down to Bluetooth et al... and, it is indeed a company network... uh-oh.
There's an old adage that claims that you don't defecate where you consume food. Ditto for bosses & associates that like a little rondelle around the printer room... in today's time, it really blows my mind that people walk into power poles while texting; trust in sites like Pogo (good God); and, worst of all, use in-office networks for personal communications.
Bad mistake. Especially if someone sexually harassed you at work, and wants to get the dirt on you to protect their own interests (read: job).
People can be mean. Times have changed.
Here's another example:
When you spend $3700 on a Ultra 4K Smart TV, they fail to tell you that you may be listened to from time to time. When a film pops up that you had discussed in the same room the previous night, you know it's time to do the only sensible thing that you can:
Protect your data, and you'll protect yourself. Get rid of Google Home/Voice. Ditto for Siri, and Alexa. Buy multiple hard disks, and like myself, find an OS that will work with all files that isn't chained to a leaky server. Go to F-Droid and check out NextcloudDev, and get an app package put together using that app for sync and storage success.
Keep in mind - I may be in my 60s (okay, I shouldn't have lied about my age, yet I can't change my profile now..) but I watched computers go from mainframe to Apple - then, Winblows... then, Linux/Red Hat, and Android (a brief gliss...). With the advent of smartphones, Joe Public users weren't really aware that the metadata game would be in analytics, algorithmically-massaged social network UIs to "personalize" your online experience, and Holy Ethyl, Batman - eventually, it'll be at your gas pumps.
"Hello, Mr. Jordan. Your premium fuel will be at Nozzle #6.."
AI is already living in phone conversations all across the Web. Every time your dog barks, the cheerful female voice sez "Sorry... I misunderstood that. Press 1 to..."
I'm sorry that you lost your job. In the future, remember that everything 'data' can end up being worse than the old-school paper trail...
And remember George Orwell - for Big Brother is corporate, baby.

The best advice I can give, keep in mind, I still see where techolongical advances just fly on by, and never get them, but the idea behind the heart, it is empty memories, and lust and both sexuall advisery would of been reeled in.
I would keep my head up and look onward for a better job and hopefully, a real chance for each bosses to treat you well being.
Not everyone has been extremely lucky and fortunate with their bosses, just keep in mind, there is light at the end of the tunnel too

I believe it's called "bluesnarfing", which is the interception(theft) of information transmitted by a Bluetooth device. Think that's why it's very important to have two factor authentication login wherever you can, especially when using a wireless keyboard. In case some undesirable third-party bluesnarfs your login credentials.
Bluetooth is usually only a few metres range. But if you have the right kit, it can be sniffed from miles away.
Like my little 2.4GHz rig with dual high-gain yagi antennas.

Okay, Milo, I'll bite:
Fowl (as in birds), or foul as in "foul ball" or "Jeez, George, that smells foul..."
I used to know a sign painter that was dyslexic; he had to paint two signs for one job, because he wasn't aware that he was misspelling; as in Haskell's Lighting / Hasskell's Lighting...
This guy wasn't a really nice guy to begin with, so when customers complained about the spelling, he'd say "G********! Try the sign for a week and your business will pick up!"
He'd have return customers every time, but for all of the wrong reasons... so the called him Two Sign Tony.
In your case, I wonder... do you misspell deliberately to get attention like Tony did, since he told me it was deliberate when it was really bull****, (!), or are you the real deal?
We await thee, Milo-Of-NoSpell...

I have dyslexic anyways, it will not go away any time soon.
Maybe call me two sign Teddy for a spell or three, maybe eight,
or 12?
Who knows what my brain can conjor up
See you folks.
Yes, but unlike Tony working on giant signs, you're using a computer or device that has...can you hear it coming, Milo?...SPELL-CHECK.
How many times have I said, "Spell-check, Milo, spell-check"--a million? It feels like it!

You are right. I should spell check more often. And google to cut and paste words.

Sweet little rig you have there!
I also enjoy playing with radio, albeit on a much more forgiving wavelength- 11m.
I have built different antennas of all sorts and tested even more in the backyard.
The first one I tried was quite the overkill- a ½wave J-Pole around 26ft high made out of 12AWG copper wire.
It wasn't long before we noticed 'black SUVs' cruising around the neighborhood.
(actually, they aren't all black,, lol)
My cat used to 'help' by chasing and pulling the coax as I ran it to and from the garage.
