I would probably go the route of sending a baffled email—“Dear Dr. Negative, As you know, I am in the process of applying to grad schools. Because of my positive experience with you, I asked you to write a letter of recommendation. During one of my interviews, a member of the admissions committee indicated that you had not recommended me for the program because (list reasons here). I’m confused (or other emotion) as these were never conveyed to me during classes/projects or when I asked for a letter. I’m trying to better understand what happened as this negatively impacts my admission to a grad program.”",

"content": "Had you heard any feedback along these lines from this professor before? Was what the interviewer told you specific enough that it would have had to come from this professor? Does it sound like something she would have done, or had you previously had a good working relationship with her? You could potentially ask her about this in a non-confrontational way to see if she offers you any additional information. Something like, the interviewer mentioned X, Y, and Z in the interview and mentioned that it was from your recommendation letter. I’m a bit surprised, because that isn’t feedback I’ve heard from you before. Is it possible she was mistaken? If she confirms that yes, she wrote this shitty letter, you have more documentation. There’s no good reason to sabotage a student’s application like that when she could simply decline. This feels more like someone who has an ax to grind, and this is a grossly unprofessional way to do that. You could also consider reaching out to your university ombuds. They’re generally neutral and confidential, and they’ll hear you out and then run through the options you have.",
