But Op says that he doesn't respect these people.

I have a family member who dislikes and disrespects me. He trash talks me and DH to our kids, mocks us to our faces, interrupts us for no reason, steals our things when we aren't looking, and then says that we both deserve this treatment and that it never happened and we made it up. So you could try that, OP. Then you won't have to see the person again. I believe that this strategy was developed by the Trump group and popularized by the far right. It works!

It sounds like in this situation you can avoid as the other person likely won't want to engage with you either. For the sake of your mutual friends, be civil if not decent. You will look like the better person.

Be an adult, OP. There will inevitably be people in this world who you don't like - and probably don't like you, imagine that!
Part of being an adult is basic manners and civility - not being petty, not looking for slights, not gossiping like a spoiled, immature, bratty ("mommy doesn't love me!!!") school child.
Not everything is going to go your way in life, and that is okay. Learn to suck it up.
