Chapter 1124
The sharing of the letter by these two influential accounts immediately turned up the heat on the issue.
Then, the staff of Murder also started sharing their thoughts online.
“The biggest mistake that day was probably the safety crew not keeping up with Sydney’s movements. This is something that usually requires training. I don’t know why, but the crew’s performance was particularly unprofessional that day”
“The video circulating online was shot from a bad angle Celeste didn’t actually use any force. I saw everything very clearly from behind her, but the other actor’s status is so high that I didn’t dare speak up for her. These past few days, seeing her being attacked online, I felt very sad. I should have stood up for her sooner”
“I was one of the staff responsible for dressing Sydney in protective gear that day. It was strange. Sydney asked me to add an extra set of kneepads. The usual safety measures are more than enough for this type of scene. There was no need for extra padding it seemed like she had a premonition she was going to get hurt.”
As more and more of these comments emerged, public opinion online started to shift.
Sydney, who was in the hospital, watched the trending topics online, her eyes red with rage. She tried to call the mysterious person, but his phone was unreachable.
He once told her that he would contact her and that she shouldn’t reach out to him.
Unable to get through, Sydney was furious. She vented her anger at Hanson, demanding that he suppress the trending topics
online.
Hanson begrudgingly went along with it, but the response he got was that they wouldn’t remove the tags.
Usually, these social platforms would do anything for a fee, no matter how bad the news was.
But this time, they wouldn’t even take the money. There was only one possible explanation: they had already taken someone else’s money
Hanson whispered, “Sydney, they won’t take it down. How about we post an explanation about the incident, saying it was a misunderstanding? It’s not too late.”
Sydney snapped, “Are you out of your mind? If I apologize now, won’t that be admitting that I’m guilty, that I framed her?”
Hanson’s face turned pale. He murmured, “So, what should we do now?”
“What should we do? Can you do anything other than ask what to do? You’ve been by Palmer’s side for so long; what have you learned? If I knew what to do, would I need to ask you?”
Hanson clammed up.
It was she who was eager to switch to Skyline Media Group, cut ties with her former agent, Palmer.
Palmer wasn’t a fool. Why would he share all his contacts and resources with her?
Sydney was way stressed about how things were unfolding with Celeste, but soon enough, a new bombshell dropped that made her forget all about their beef.
One afternoon, a post about actress Shelly’s suicide three years ago started spreading like wildfire in the chat group.
The article pointed the finger directly at Sydney, accusing her of setting Shelly up to get assaulted and then putting the whole thing on blast
The details were laid out super clearly, backed up with all kinds of evidence. The part that got everyone was the follow–up about Shelly’s family, how they fought for justice for their daughter, how their son tragically died, and how the couple got hit with serious illnesses–every word was loaded with grief.
Then, a video from a get–together where Shelly and Sydney got hammered and ended up at a hotel was leaked.
In the video, as Shelly was being led away, Sydney was in the frame She just stood there, watching as Shelly was taken into a room by a guy, before she turned around and walked away.
