Chapter 1107
In the world of showbiz, it was only natural for actresses within the same age group to be compared. Nicole Aspen, a former star
of teen dramas, had successfully transitioned her career and managed to sweep almost every mainstream award before
reaching the age of thirty. On the other hand, Bella Young, despite attempting a career shift, found herself confined to the realm
of teen dramas. The rivalry between their respective fan bases had been ongoing, and Bella's fans had always come up short.
Winning awards served as a clear way to establish dominance in these fan wars, and Bella lacked any acting accolades to wield
as ammunition. What could her fans possibly use to level the playing field?
However, things took an unexpected turn with the official announcement of the drama series, Twinkling Lights. Bella's fans finally
had something to boast about. They flooded social media with triumphant posts and tweets, even going so far as to leave snide
comments on Nicole's social media pages. Naturally, Nicole's fans were far from pleased, prompting one of her devoted followers
to take it upon themselves to write a lengthy post in the afternoon:
[Let me share a story with you. A and B were the best of friends. They both auditioned for a particular role, and their
appearances were a perfect fit for the character. However, during the audition, A s performance outshone B's, ultimately securing
her the role. B, happy for her friend,
suggested they celebrate with a drink.
A ended up drinking excessively, to the point of being heavily intoxicated. The next morning, she woke up in a hotel room naked.
Finding no visible signs of sexual assault, she didn't think much of it and carried on with her work, eagerly awaiting the contract
offer from the production team.
To her surprise, the expected contract never arrived. Instead, A found herself facing the exposure of compromising photos.
These pictures depicted her having sex with a married man, and she instantly became the target of public criticism. Not only did
she lose the contract, but the production of the drama she was filming was also halted. On top of that, she was even demanded
to pay a significant amount in breach of contract fees.
A noticed that the photos were taken at the same hotel where she had gotten drunk that night. Determined to uncover the truth,
she confronted B. However, B claimed to be unaware of the situation and avoided A, citing a busy schedule as an excuse.
The relentless online backlash, combined with the enormous financial burden, pushed A into a severe mental breakdown. Her
depression resurfaced, and her family convinced her to leave the entertainment industry and seek treatment. During this difficult
time, B posted on her social media, celebrating her successful contract signing. It turned out that the role she secured was the
same one A had almost signed for.
The next day, A committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Does this story sound familiar to you? Well, the incident involving Stella Jewell reminds me of this story.
I've visited the set countless times in my pursuit of catching a glimpse of Nicole Aspen. During my visits, I had the opportunity to
witness the falling-from-staircase scenes on multiple occasions. In order to ensure the safety of the actors, there were always
crew members positioned with cushions to catch them when they fell. It was a precautionary measure aimed at minimizing the
risk of injury.
But Bella Young somehow missed the cushion and fell directly. I mean, Stella must have been incredibly strong to push Bella a
meter away from the cushion's reach.
Furthermore, the crew members responsible for handling the cushions were supposed to adjust their positions based on the
actors' movements. Strangely enough, the crew member positioned on the left, who was supposed to handle the cushion for
Bella, seemed more like a mere spectator. While the crew member on the right had already moved forward, the one on the left
remained frozen, as if afraid that Bella wouldn't miss the cushion.
If it is indeed revealed that Stella was the one who pushed Bella, it would be advisable to take Stella to a research institute for
further investigation. Who knows, they might uncover extraordinary abilities in her, potentially leading to the development of a
superhuman with incredible strength.]
As soon as this lengthy post was published, Nicole's fans propelled it to become a trending topic.
In comparison to the subsequent story, the initial one caused a significant uproar.
[Actress A], [compromising photos exposed], [having affair with a married man], [substantial breach of contract settlement],
[depression], [suicide], [jumping off a building]... Several keywords immediately brought to mind the deceased Andrea Sonn from
three years ago.
Andrea Sonn epitomized fresh-faced beauty. Shortly after graduating, she caught someone's eye and landed a role in a popular
teen drama, gaining a certain level of fame.
Subsequently, she took on supporting roles in several hit shows, gradually becoming recognized by the public.
She had the appearance of the girl next door-innocent and pure-which forged a special connection with the audience. However,
it was this innocent and pure girl who suddenly had explicit private photos leaked, featuring a married man. This revelation
completely shattered her image in the eyes of the viewers, and her reputation took a nosedive.
A month later, news broke of Andrea's untimely passing, coinciding with the confirmation of Bella's mermaid role in her
breakthrough hit, Returning to Ocean. Prior to that, rumors had been swirling about Andrea securing the same role.
