Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

I was recently terminated due to alleged photos that were published on Facebook. The evidence was never shown to me and I let them know that I never saw the photo. Also they stated that their forsenic team searched my private photos on my cell phone which was not company owned. Do I have a right to sue? it was coded as Gross Misconducted and now I can not even receive my unemployment.
