Yes. Do that - tell them your side.
Basically, what he is doing now is damaging your reputation.
I am sorry you did not cut him out earlier, but there is no way to change the past, so now you need to do damage control, including a preemptive strike in the form of telling them your side of the story. As rainy suggested, factual and brief. Do mention why you are telling your side of the story ("it has been brought to my attention that such and such said so and so, and I want to take a few moments to explain that, in reality, ...)
