Three months ago, he really did say all that, and got totally roasted for it.
And the insults he got in his DMs were so vile you couldn’t even look at them.
After seeing all this, people started feeling seriously turned off by Nicole and her fans.
‘He just said one thing to push back, and now he’s getting bombarded with hate DMs? Was that really necessary?’ everyone thought.
The person added: [I went to middle school with them. Back then, Nicolas, Maxwell, Alicia, and Caleb were called the ‘Iron Quartet’-their friendship was on another level.
[Nicolas and the other two basically revolved around Alicia-she was like their queen, and whatever she said went.
[You’d always see them taking turns bringing Alicia lunch, milk tea, you name it.
[If Alicia wanted something to eat, they’d happily dash off to get it for her.
[If the school didn’t have it, they’d either get the driver to deliver it, or sneak out of school themselves just to buy it for her.
[One time, Alicia got sick and Nicolas literally piggybacked her to the nurse’s office. And then after she took her medicine, he carried her all the way back up to our classroom on the sixth floor. Dude, that was a trek.
[Alicia always had their backs too. Honestly, we were all super envious of their squad.
[Plus, they even formed a band together-the same one Maxwell talked about earlier.]
After he finished, Nicole’s fans jumped right back in.
[If they were all so tight, how come none of them stood up for Alicia when everyone was accusing her of pretending to be the real heiress?]
[See? Nicole’s obviously the one they care about most.]
Then someone else jumped in with more tea.
[I know all about this-Nicole’s notorious in our circle for being a total crybaby and way too sensitive.
[One time, she said she liked azaleas, so Leo had Felix rip out the crabapple tree Alicia planted. Alicia was so mad she ended up in tears, and Maxwell and Nicolas just went off on Nicole for it.

[After that, Nicole went and tried to off herself.

[And get this right after she slit her wrists, a maid just happened to walk into her room and find her.
[Honestly, I can’t tell if the Hammond family’s staff just have no sense of boundaries, or if my family’s rules are just too strict. Their maids actually walk into rooms without the owner’s permission.
[And then, what a coincidence-they just happened to walk in right after she tried to off herself.
[Ever since then, Nicole’s been this delicate little flower-one wrong word and she totally falls
apart.
[She needs the whole Hammond family, Maxwell, and Nicolas to constantly baby her, or else she’ll spiral into a meltdown or start acting all depressed.
[Back in school, she even claimed she was being bullied and insisted Leo himself had to come to the parent-teacher meeting to sort it out.
[I went to high school with her, and honestly, everyone was so swamped with classes that who’d even have the time to mess with her?
[Plus, her mom had already married into the Hammond family by then-she was rolling up in luxury rides and rocking designer labels. Claiming she got bullied for being poor or fatherless? Total BS.
[After that, Leo always showed up for Nicole’s parent-teacher meetings, so of course he stopped showing up for his real daughter’s.
[If Maxwell and the others ever tried to stand up for Alicia, that’d basically blow up Nicole’s whole stepdaughter secret, and she’d spiral into another depressive episode or threaten to hurt herself again. Seriously, who’d want to poke that hornet’s nest?]
Then someone else jumped in with more dirt.
