Chapter 162: Uncreative Netizens
Olivia rarely used Twitter, but when she opened it, the comments section was like a warzone. “Seriously? These days, even freaks think they can hook up with my dearest Chris?” “Please take a good look in the mirror. Are you even worthy?” “You got into Mr. Jos’s production and didn’t even make the most of it, dragging Chris down with you. No wonder you’re a D-list nobody.”
Chris’s fans were the first to arrive at the warzone, dominating the top comments. Amidst the barrage of insults, a username caught Olivia’s eye: @reyrisnold. They commented, “Who are you to decide who’s worthy? Spend less time online and more time reading books! Why are you kids wasting your time being so cruel on the Internet? I think Olivia Carter is just gorgeous…”
This netizen’s comments were like a sudden mudslide curbing the flood of vitriol. They quickly became the target of Chris’s fans. “Who is this troublemaker? Are your eyes covered in filth? You call that pretty? Go see an eye doctor, please.” “Turns out the beauty standards of Olivia’s fans are appalling.”
In response to the attacks, @reyrisnold stood their ground, trying their best to defend Olivia and creating a bizarre atmosphere.
“Olivia, that’s one of your fans,” Jared said, glancing at Olivia’s phone and spotting @reyrisnold’s comments.
Olivia was amazed. She didn’t even know she had fans. In her previous life, although her acting had improved later on, she only had a small group of fans, all of whom abandoned her after similar internet backlash. She had never encountered @reyrisnold in her previous life.
Aside from Chris’s fans, Amelia’s fans, who joined the fray later, were even more aggressive. Amelia was more famous than Chris and had more fans. Compared to the rumors of Olivia pursuing Chris, the claims that Olivia had hit Amelia, especially with photographic evidence, sent her fans into an all-out frenzy. “Does this person even have any shame? She’s ugly and jealous of Amelia’s flawless beauty!” “No looks, no acting skills, just a dirty, envious heart. What else do you have?” “Ladies, I heard Olivia only joined the crew because of Amelia’s recommendation. Poor Amelia, her kindness was all for nothing, and she even got punished for it… Imagine how heartbroken she must be.” “Fcking h! Olivia is so shameless! Not only did she refuse to thank Amelia, but she also attacked her during filming. She’s just jealous that Amelia’s prettier and more famous!” “Olivia, get out of the entertainment industry!” “We need a petition for Olivia to be pulled out from the crew! A black sheep like her can’t be allowed to stay!”
Novel fans also expressed their dissatisfaction, warning Olivia not to ruin the novel after hearing rumors of her altering the script. Since the movie wasn’t released yet, these fans were relatively less explosive in their reactions. However, with rumors of Olivia seducing a supporting actor and assaulting the lead actress, they were seriously doubting her suitability to play Penelope. Furthermore, after many novel fans went to check out Olivia’s previous TV dramas, her past work left them utterly devastated! “Ms. Carter, please focus on improving your acting skills and don’t ruin Penelope Yaxley.” “I just watched Olivia’s past acting. Oh my God, someone please cleanse my eyes!” “The crew must be crazy to cast such a tasteless actress as Penelope!” “Penelope has already suffered enough. Please don’t make it worse!” “Ms. Hannah’s work can’t be tarnished like this! Olivia must go!” “Olivia, leave the set!”
Not hearing anything from Olivia, Jared assumed she was furious and quickly said, “Olivia, don’t get mad!”
Olivia calmly scrolled through the comments. “Other than calling me shameless, ugly, and bad at acting, don’t they have anything else to say?”
Jared was dumbfounded on the other end of the line. “Huh?”
Olivia sighed. “Netizens these days seriously lack creativity.”
