Chapter 130 Gwenda, Something’s Happened
Chapter 130 Gwenda, Something’s Happened
At midnight, Gwenda had been sleeping when she vaguely heard her phone ring.
Scratching her head with irritation, Gwenda pawed about in the direction of the dim light and picked up
her phone. "Hello...?"
"Gwenda, something's happened!"
On the other end of the line, Hattie sounded anxious. "Karter's been caught molesting female guests on
the show. The Internet's in an uproar now."
Gwenda was instantly wide awake upon hearing these words. She asked worriedly, "Word has
spread?"
"Yeah, it's currently one of the top trending topics."
"Hurry up and get someone to take it down and release an announcement to set the record straight.
Also, have you contacted Eloise yet?"
Gwenda got off the bed.
"Yeah, Eloise said that she would take care of the announcement. She's also contacting Karter now."
"Okay, let her handle Karter. I'll head over to the company right now."
Cutting off the call, Gwenda checked the time.
It was bloody three o'clock in the morning.
D*mn it!
Do these online netizens not require sleep?
What a f*cking pain in the a*s!
Gwenda rushed into the bathroom for a quick shower. After that, she changed her clothes and drove to
the studio.
On the way, Eloise called her.
She had originally planned to rush over to the studio, but Gwenda stopped her. "Find Karter first. There
are definitely going to be paps clogging up his front door in the morning. Get him prepared to stay
home for the time being. I will handle this matter personally."
"Gwenda, how do you know that paps will find his home?"
Eloise expressed her doubts.
Usually, the paparazzi had no idea where celebrities lived.
Cases of paparazzi clogging up a celebrity's front door were particularly scarce.
Gwenda did not have time to explain much. She just said vaguely, "Anyhow, just get him to stay home
and behave. I suggest pulling out of the remaining episodes of the show."
She was the boss, and Eloise could not argue with her. She could only carry out Gwenda's will. "Okay,
leave it to me then."
After hanging up, Gwenda hastened to get to the studio.
After midnight, things got worse.
Some netizens dug out old photos of Karter molesting other female celebrities. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Although the pictures were blurry, Karter's image hit rock bottom in an instant with this latest incident.
The Internet was full of angry criticisms...
"I can't believe I used to be a fan of Karter's. I've really misjudged his character. How could this guy be
such an a*shole?"
"That's f*cking disgusting. He keeps molesting female stars and is still so brazen about it. Where's the
justice?"
"I really feel sorry for Joyce. Such an awful thing has happened to her, and the pictures are now online
everywhere. That's got to be some serious secondary damage."
"This kind of behaviour is really despicable. I guess Karter's character isn't that great."
Karter's fans were very sad because of these comments. They dared not say anything, and some were
so angry that they unfollowed Karter on Twitter.
In addition, Gwenda's constant attempts to redirect the public's attention away from the scandal had
also angered them.
Seeing the hashtag gradually dropping off the trending list, they began to target M Studio.
"What's the point of taking down the hashtag? You have to admit your faults. Get Karter to apologise to
Joyce!"
"Are you going to just leave things as they are? Us Joyce fans won't let you off so easily!"
"I demand justice for Joyce! Get Karter Hogan to apologise!!"
Near dawn, M Studio's Twitter was completely swarmed by netizens and Joyce's fans. The situation
was rather harrowing.
Hattie read the comments one by one with a heavy frown.
"Gwenda, what do we do? Are we still going to post the announcement?"
"Post it!"
Gwenda said resolutely.
"But our announcement isn't an apology. Are you sure we won't piss off the fans if we post it?"
"Why should Karter apologise for something he has never done?"
Gwenda asked in return.
Hattie pouted. "How did you know he didn't do it..."
Gwenda looked up to glare at her.
Hattie immediately lowered her head. "Sorry."
"I believe in Karter. He doesn't seem to be that kind of person. Besides, the most important thing is that
he never did this."
When this incident happened in her previous life, Karter was trapped by public opinion for nearly two
months.
From the initial "exposure" of being a molester, he ended up becoming someone who supposedly does
not respect women, and it almost ruined his acting career.
Fortunately, Karter was completely cleared of all alleged charges after Joyce's other scandals were
exposed. His fans were instrumental in uncovering the truth of the matter, which also helped his case.
Therefore, Gwenda could not apologise now.
She could only try her best to stick to the route in her previous life by finding Joyce's scandals and
exposing the truth online!
"Then I'll post the announcement now."
Half an hour later, the Internet blew up once again due to the announcement.
The netizens accused them of condoning such actions by Karter, which was even worse than being the
culprit himself!
For a time, public opinion had reached its peak.
After dawn broke, Joyce, the alleged victim of the incident, posted the following tweet: "I'm sure that it
was an honest mistake. Let it go, guys."
It would have been better if she had not posted anything, because the netizens were angrier than ever.
They thought that she was forced to hold her silence. So, the netizens banded together and began
attacking Karter's Twitter in a frenzy.
"Son of a b*tch! How could you do this to Joyce! Apologise!!"
