Things had taken a sharp turn. Some of Gianna’s most devoted fans were finally going quiet.
They couldn’t find a way to justify her actions anymore. All they could do now was wait for Gianna to make a public statement and clear the air.
But no matter how long they waited, she stayed silent.
Realistically, if everything circulating online was nothing but false rumors, Gianna should have stepped forward to deny it.
Yet she didn’t.
Her fans began to feel uneasy; some were even frustrated. To make things worse, followers of other stars who had once been unfairly criticized started mocking them.
So, who was really telling the truth here?
Amid all the noise, most people didn’t hesitate as they sided with Selena.
After all, Selena had proven herself by performing live on stage. Gianna never had.
But Gianna had already given her explanation long ago. She said her vocal cords had been injured, forcing her to shift from singing to acting and variety shows.
So there was no solid proof left to defend her.
That was why Gianna’s most loyal fans clung to that story, doing everything they could to defend her reputation.
[She stopped singing because of vocal cord nodules, okay? Stop reopening her old wounds!]
[Exactly! No one abandons their career at the height of success unless they’re forced to!]
[Admit it. Selena refused to keep being her stand–in singer, so Gianna had no choice but to quit!]
[Yeah, she probably realized her secret would come out someday, so she quit while she still could.]
Fans and haters of Gianna were locked in an ugly online fight, and the argument kept escalating.
Before Nygard Group even had time to release a statement, Amelia casually dropped another shocking reveal.

This time, it was the old medical report about Gianna’s supposed throat injury.
Back then, Nygard Group had used that document to explain Gianna’s sudden retirement at the peak of her career.
It not only shielded her from exposure but also earned her sympathy from the public.
The higher she had risen then, the harder she was falling now.
That same report she once used as protection had come back to destroy her.
Because the findings showed her vocal cords were perfectly healthy, better than normal, in fact.
Even the doctor who had forged the report came forward to confess.

Countless reporters tried to get a response, but the company dodged every question. So attention turned to Amelia, who was the one releasing all the evidence.
Amelia only shrugged and said,
“A lie will never become the truth. If she’s really innocent, let her sing live for everyone right
now.”
That statement practically threw Gianna into the fire.
But to be fair, everyone agreed; it was the simplest way to prove the truth.
No two voices in the world are identical, just like no two leaves are the same.
Selena had already proven herself, singing live and even taking random song requests.
There was no chance she was faking it.
But Gianna? She was hiding behind her team, refusing to show her face or say a word.
Meanwhile, chaos erupted in Nygard Group’s entertainment department. The executives held an emergency meeting, but it quickly devolved into shouting and finger–pointing.
As for Gianna, she was left completely broken by despair.
