Chapter 310
The statement’s general intent was to tell everyone to listen only to the official announcement rather than making speculations based on unauthorized ones. It further cautioned netizens not to fall victim to others with bad intentions. It was clear what they were getting at when they warned the fans not to let people with bad intentions take advantage of
them.
The news of Bella joining The Palace was rumored for a few months. The show had not even started filming, yet Bella had already brought The Palace on the trending list several times. With Daniel’s reputation and Bella’s fame, every trending search would spark discussions.
Bella completely ignored the situation online at that time. But now, she popped out and posted a statement saying she did not take part in the show. The fans naturally thought that the show’s production team had bought the previous trending searches to trick the fans and use the celebrities’ fame.
So, once the statement was posted, Bella’s fans instantly cried out against injustice. They all went to leave a comment on The Palace’s Facebook homepage. Some were insults about the casting, and some were cursing for the show to flop. Their homepage was full of toxic comments. Luckily, Daniel had the foresight and kept the show’s cast a secret. Otherwise, no one’s homepage would be safe at that moment.
Bella would do anything for clout. Hence, she was great at setting trends, yet her fans had no idea that she was taking advantage of them. Her fans were even comforting and encouraging Bella on her Facebook page.
Felicity sent a message to their group chat. [The show went on trending when it started filming. She didn’t say she wasn’t in it at that time. Why mention it now?]
Stella, too, felt that Bella’s post at the moment was weird. ‘Why would she rock the boat and court hatred to herself with a statement like this? Daniel has always hated these publicity stunts made by celebrities. Does Bella not want to be in Daniel’s show in the future by making it a big deal?’
Shea said, [Does she have a new show that will be released? Is that why she’s purposely clout- chasing?]
At first, they all just thought that Shea was overthinking it. But, right in the evening, a famous media account revealed that Bella was starring in World Peace. World Peace was a script based on a trending novel. It’s a mystery genre novel with a large reader fanbase. The novel became viral because the author was caught plagiarizing and stealing ideas from others. The readers searched through the web novels and found all the plagiarized ideas.
However, Stella did not read novels. During her voice acting days, she did receive the script’s offer. She was interacting with Robin frequently at the time, so she asked him to assist her with reviewing the script. But, Robin instantly told her to turn down the offer when he saw the script. So, she learned about the script’s controversy from Robin.
