Got fired for telling my TL to fuck off – how do I explain this at my next job interview?

Hello everyone. I need some advice. Got fired few months ago for finally standing up to my “boss” during one of our 1:1. The issue was excessive micro-management and constant power plays from his side. This is a guy who was previously my co-worker whom I did not agree with very often – which visibly made him upset on numerous occasions. Now, I'm interviewing for other jobs and I always struggle to find a good explanation for why I “left” my previous job. I tried telling the truth once, immediate red flag and interview was cut short. Thoughts?
