Hitched & Hitched Again: A Comedy of Marital Mayhem novel Chapter 1537

[And she's supposed to be a role model? I'm going to report her to the major networks. A pathetic person like her has no right to be a public figure. She needs to be canceled!] Shifra's one live stream had thrown Winona into a storm of controversy. What's more, Shifra had also revealed the detailed location of Winona and Zane's former home. Before her live stream even ended, paparazzi were already staking out Riverview Manor, waiting to snap photos of Winona. Some even pretended to be delivery drivers to sneak into the community and peer through Winona's windows. With a massive headache, Winona quietly slipped out of the complex and went to hide at Blossom's place. The internet was in an uproar. With trolls fanning the flames, Winona's public image was nosediving. As the situation escalated, Shifra started crying on her live stream, begging netizens not to attack Winona, acting as if she'd accidentally wronged her dear friend. Blossom was about to explode with anger. "She has the nerve to cry? I refuse to believe a grown woman like her didn't know what kind of impact those words would have on Winona!" "Winona has always had this image of a clear-headed, strong woman, and now she's been painted as some annoying, love-obsessed fool!" "And the subject is Zane, of all people! Zane is a wanted fugitive!" "The way she framed it, if I didn't know the truth, I'd be out there attacking Winona too!" "In just a few hours, Winona lost tens of thousands of followers, real ones too, while Shifra's fame skyrocketed!" "She's dating Mr. Huber, so why is she constantly dragging Winona into things? What's her problem with Winona?!" "And Winona, she's infuriating too! She's being bullied like this, and she still says it's no big deal! Yes, Mr. Huber helped her out, but she can't just let herself be humiliated like this!" Elysia had been at the hospital all afternoon with Emmett and Maria and hadn't seen the news. Listening to Blossom, she quickly opened TikTok to check. The situation was even worse than Blossom described! Some uninformed netizens, egged on by others, weren't just leaving hateful comments on Winona's accounts. They were also flooding the pages of the brands Winona endorsed, threatening to boycott them. If the brands continued to work with Winona, the public would stop buying their products. They also went to the social media pages of production companies and directors Winona worked with, demanding she not be cast as the lead. If they dared to film with her, everyone would boycott it! Many people were also tagging major news networks and media outlets, accusing Winona of having zero principles and demanding she be permanently deplatformed. Elysia quickly scanned the news and then specifically looked up Shifra's account. Shifra's latest video had been posted an hour ago: she appeared without makeup, crying her eyes out, and choked out an explanation that she was just heartbroken for Winona and trying to stick up for her, never intending to cause her any trouble. She even bowed in the video, apologizing to Winona and her fans. Her attitude was incredibly sincere, and her tearful appearance was designed to evoke pity. Elysia was both speechless and furious. What was Shifra's game? Was she playing the victim or just being a two-faced snake? If she was worried about Winona and Keaton living next door to each other, she could have just told Winona directly! Pulling a stunt like this clearly wasn't just about making Winona move; she wanted to completely destroy her! In this day and age, everyone admired people who were level-headed and self-aware. Who would like a foolish, love-obsessed girl? Forget that Zane almost destroyed Winona's family; even if he hadn't, it would still be unacceptable for her to love him! Zane wasn't just a scumbag; he was a fugitive! The police had announced that he was involved not only in financial crimes but also human trafficking, organ selling, and murder! What female celebrity would dare to publicly say she was in love with someone like that? This wasn't just a matter of being love-obsessed anymore; it was a fundamental question of her moral compass!
