Burned a bridge with a colleague at one job. He is part of the interview process at another job (but I know he still works at the first). Should I report him so he’s not part of the interview process?

Listen I know how it sounds, but the guy allowed someone to unfairly fire me (it was contract work and the person abruptly ended my contract. The guy could've stopped it but he didn't.) for no fault of my own other than sticking up for myself when this person was verbally abusing me in a 1-on-1. Now, I'm on the job market. I know he still works at that previous company. Apparently though, he has a J2 (Job 2), and, he's part of the interview process for that J2. I applied to this J2 and did a great first round today. Then, I find out the next interview is with the guy. I'm like, oh shit. What do you say? Should I report him at this J2 (anonymously) and get him fired so he isn't part of the interview process?

What do you say? Should I report him at this J2 (anonymously) and get him fired so he isn't part of the interview process? For context, I'm very qualified for the role and I'm 100% sure I'd be given an offer if he's not in the process. Also, it's rough out here so I don't just want to walk away. There are 1k+ applicants for each role. Being seen by a recruiter to even get the interview has been generally rough.

How would you guys “handle” this?
