Margot muttered under her breath, a clear undercurrent of anger in her voice.
Ivy understood all too well that Margot’s frustration didn’t materialize out of thin air.
Actors, after all, were no strangers to the sting of public scrutiny, especially when caught in the throes
of a full-blown media backlash.
Ivy let out a weary sigh, “I knew when I decided to pursue acting that not everyone in the world would
be a fan. But when you’re suddenly facing a tidal wave of malice, it can still knock you off your feet.

shared the production team’s post with a reply that read, “Finally, the truth. prevails. Our trust was not
misplaced.”
Below that, fans who had steadfastly supported the cast were gathering, many
overwhelmed with emotion.
During that time, these fans had been unable to hold their heads high, subjected to ridicule from any
and all internet users.
It was as if their humanity was being questioned, just for being fans.
[I told you,” one loyal supporter typed through tears, “judging an entire crew based on a few edited clips
was always absurd.]
