You don't have to do a Helen and rant and shout to stand up to somebody though. I don't know why you think clearly saying "It's wrong to accuse somebody of theft" is a sly snipe. It's a statement of how she felt.
From what you say, you would prefer her to jump up, get into Helen's face and yell "How dare you!" That's not how civilized people behave, I'm afraid, but it explains why you like Helen's way of doing things (before she was given a final warning, of course). Which leads on to Helen not 'standing up' to Ashleigh but making a sly snipe about her being 'Judge Judy' and changing the subject. lol
