The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Chapter 2335

"I've always thought that the real troublemakers are those spectators who enjoy watching the chaos and don't mind stirring up trouble. It's clearly not our fault, but just because of a few clips, they're throwing mud at us and even resorting to baseless insults.

"Honestly, if it weren't for my identity as an actress, I'd go up there and give them a piece of my mind. They've crossed the line, dragging my family into it as well," grumbled Melody.

Melody understood that her anger was not groundless. Moreover, all of them-as celebrities-had been subjected to various attacks, especially during the peak of online negativity. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (F)indNƟvᴇl.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She sighed softly. "Even though I prepared myself for the fact that not everyone would like me before I decided to become an actress, such blatant malice still gets to me. We're strangers to most of these people, and the only contact they have with us is through the big screen. I just don't understand. Where is all this hatred coming from?"

Melody's question echoed the sentiments of all public figures.

"I know. They think that because we earn more money, we should endure their malice," Nathan volunteered to answer, acknowledging that he received fewer attacks compared to the female actors. Most of the attacks directed toward actresses used more vicious language than those toward male actors, especially on moral grounds.

Melody sighed. She could not simply show these social media users her payslip to prove that she did not earn as much as they imagined.

Observing Monica's downcast mood, Monica offered some words of comfort. "Let's not dwell on this. We don't need to engage with them. They're all strangers to us, after all. If they think we earn a lot, then let's hope that we'll actually earn as much as they thought in the future. All this should end tonight and tomorrow morning, the public perception of our crew should shift."

With that, everyone felt much lighter. Firstly, because they did not do what they had been unjustly accused of, which nobody wanted. Secondly, it was because they could afford to disregard the negativity, but their families cared about their reputation.

During this period, their families had been cautiously reminding them not to do anything wrong. Even in front of relatives and friends, they could not hold their heads high, always being interrogated about whether their children had done something like this.

After Shaun's post, they could finally stand tall and proclaim their innocence. They did not ask for anything else, nor did they seek the favor of the social media users. They just hoped that everyone could judge them fairly and that at least until they finished shooting this film, they would not be unjustly attacked again.

Letting them quietly finish filming was all they wanted. They had not expected the clarification to have such a positive effect, surpassing their expectations.

Especially heartening was the response from the social media user who had previously been subjected to nearly three thousand abusive comments. They reposted Shaun's crew's message and replied, [Finally, the clarification statement is out! My trust in you was not in vain.]

Underneath, there gathered many fans who had always supported the crew. Some were even moved to tears.

During this period, even those fans could not hold their heads high. Any social media user could easily insult them as if being a fan made them less human.

[I've always said that it's absurd to conclude that the entire crew bullied someone based solely on a few edited videos.]
