Zane had also clarified that Freya was pulled into the shoot against her will–and backed it up with a clip from the actual scene she’d filmed. Freya tapped the video open.
Even stripping away the filters and studio gloss, that short scene was striking. She looked ethereal–so perfectly suited to the original character that it was like watching a storybook come to life.
Freya rewatched the clip twice in disbelief. Was that really her? She almost didn’t dare blink, afraid of missing even a second of it.
Meanwhile, the comment section was blowing up. Plenty of people had been following the scandal just for the drama, but once the production team’s footage went live–even the truth became secondary to one thing:
“Just watched the video–wait, that’s the author?! Holy crap, she looks like she walked out of a fantasy novel. You expect me to believe someone that beautiful needs to steal roles? If she wanted the lead, nobody could stop her!”
“This might be the first time I’ve paused a video just to write a comment. I thought I was shallow, but… this is next–level. Is this really what the author looks like?”
“Okay but why are you trying to make it on talent alone when you look like that? If I looked like you, I’d be on a billboard already. It’s not even jealousy–it’s respect. You’re too good. Of course people are jealous.”
“No wonder the director replaced Sophia. If you’ve got the real thing right there, why bother with the bootleg? I mean, yeah, Sophia meant well, but still. She had to know she wasn’t cutting it.”
>, people are going to “Intentions don’t make up for lack of skill. If your performance su notice–especially if someone better walks in. And let’s be honest, Freya’s not even an actress, and she still blew her out of the water.”
“I don’t buy the studio’s explanation. Aya meant well. If they didn’t want her, they shouldn’t have asked her to guest–star. Now they’re throwing her under the bus. That’s cold.”
“Sophia’s fans need to chill. The director literally promised her other opportunities. Recasting this scene was a business decision, and frankly, replacing her with the author was a major win. That’s a glow up, not a snub.”
“Exactly. If Sophia wanted to be taken seriously, she should’ve taken the work seriously. She

had her chance, she wasted it, and now she’s mad someone else stepped in and killed it. Boo hoo.”
“Aya worked so hard and still got treated like garbage. Don’t act like you’ve never been overlooked before. Y’all are heartless.”
“We’ve all been overlooked. The difference is, we go home, cry a little, and work harder. We don’t go blaming someone else for it. And by the way–she’s getting compensated. The rest of us never got that. Be grateful.”
“Whatever. I believe Freya didn’t steal anything. She even addressed it on Twitter. Now the real question is: When is the show coming out? I need more of that goddess on my screen!
“Same! I’ve never been this hyped for a premiere. Not gonna lie–I’m 100% a looks person.”
Freya’s tweet had flipped public opinion overnight. Curious, she tapped over to Sophia’s Twitter. Sophia hadn’t posted a response yet, but her comment section was… brutal.
Some fans were begging her to provide proof and clear things up. Others were passive- aggressively urging her to work on her acting. And of course, there were trolls just there to stir the pot:
“Sooo… how’s it feel getting wrecked from every angle? Asking for a friend.”
Freya switched back to her own account and saw the comment count on her recent tweet exploding:
“Okay, I’m here to apologize. I judged you too quickly. But seriously–have you considered acting? That face is a national treasure. If you join the industry, I’ll watch everything you’re in!”
ase, think about it!”
“Still looping that video and just saw your tweet. My soul hurts. Why aren’t you in the entertainment industry?! You’d be a household name in seconds
