Chapter 561
In the midst of the chaos, the online chatter about Allison was a mixed bag. Not everyone was siding with the reporters, and the vitriol wasn’t as overwhelming as one might expect. “Look, I think Allison’s right,” one user posted. “What’s wrong with these reporters? Instead of covering real issues, they’re obsessed with the petty dramas of the
entertainment world. I’ve been following the story about Tori’s Nursing Home using glue as a filler in the elderly’s meals, but that issue’s been completely buried. Not a peep from the media.”
“Seriously, why are they hounding Allison? She’s just a regular actress. She’s not A-list or anything, with no famous movies. Surely, she’s pretty, but does that justify this over-the-top scrutiny? And they even harass her family, too?”
“Harassing her family is really unbearable. Allison’s mom said she’s seriously ill, so Allison’s selling herself to pay for her medical bills. That shows real devotion.”
“Yeah, why is all the malice against Allison? I’m totally behind her, no matter what the haters say.”
“I used to think Allison’s personal life was pretty gross, but it’s her life. She’s not hurting anyone, not breaking the law. She’s just acting, so why this obsession?” NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“It’s sickening that someone as dirty as Allison still has fans defending her!”
“Look at how modestly Allison’s mom dresses. Then you look at Allison wearing sunglasses that cost a fortune. Who knows if she’s given a dime to her family since she became famous!”
“I just don’t get the whole Allison craze. What do her fans like about her? Just her looks? I heard she used to steal stuff when she worked as a maid for the Flanagan family.”
“Steal what? How do you know? Got any proof? Penelope used to say Allison was her maid, but then suddenly they’re besties? How fickle it is! How do you know so much about the Flanagans? You are living under Penelope’s bed or something?”
“Don’t bother with that one. Probably just one of Penelope’s PR stooges trying to make her look good.”
“No matter how bad Allison is, she’s leagues ahead of Penelope in looks. That so-called rich lady
who looks down on everyone else won’t get a free pass!”
“Agreed. Can’t stand those phony rich girls.”
Emma had her team on high alert, monitoring Twitter for any inflammatory comments and contacting platforms to have them removed if necessary.
Patty walked in. “Allison, you should’ve kept quiet. Just stay home for a while. Let this blow over. We could’ve played it cool, but now you’ve spoken up and the media are swarming like flies again. The headlines are buzzing with your comments, and these reporters can be petty! You’ve challenged them. Who knows what kind of spiteful stories they’ll cook up behind your back?”
Allison offered a wry smile. “So, you think I’m supposed to be silent all the time?”
Patty was momentarily taken aback. Allison had always been compliant, and Patty had always seen her as a gentle, easy-to-talk-to celebrity. She knew Allison had some intimidating financial backers, so Patty treated her with respect to her face while secretly hoping to use Allison’s influence to cement her own status. It was the urgency of the situation that had made her tone harsher than intended.
