You are entitled to choose your friends.
Your boyfriend's job is to support you in your choice of friends, whether he agrees or disagrees with your choice.

He's protective of me and loves me too much to see me get hurt by her.

He should love you enough to support you in making your own choices, and learning from them if need be, rather than presuming that he knows better than you do how to choose your own friends. You are not a child and you are not in need of his protection in your choice of friends.
