“Just saw people calling Violet brave–what a joke. The production team had already spoken out before she said anything. You wanna talk brave? She should take notes from our Clara. That’s what real loyalty looks like.”
“Clara’s got my full respect. If she’s vouching for that author, I’m on board. She never sugarcoats anything. And after watching that video… that author really is stunning. Sophia had the nerve to cry about ‘stolen roles‘? Please.”
“Clara’s just so real. Says what she thinks, no filter. You’ve gotta feel lucky, Freya, to have a friend like that. Real friendship is rare. I just got betrayed by someone I thought was close. Hurts like hell.”
Mentions of Freya exploded. Cast, crew, guest stars, even background extras–almost everyone started tweeting in support of her. Sophia, on the other hand, found herself completely isolated.
Freya didn’t feel upset—but she wasn’t exactly thrilled, either. She knew perfectly well that none of these people would’ve stood up for her if Louis hadn’t been behind her.
Still, it didn’t matter. Playing the part, she posted a polite tweet thanking everyone for their support.
The comment section swarmed with new takes:
“Maybe one or two fans could be influenced by money, but when everyone likes and supports someone? That’s gotta be about character. No way they’re all fake.”
“Most of the crew has publicly said they like Biggie. Doesn’t that s up for Sophia. People know what’s what.”
t all? No one’s speaking
“Sure, I had some doubts about shady backing at first, but come on–she’s that pretty. She doesn’t need to pull strings. I’m on her side. Sophia’s acting was rough, to be honest.”
Then a message popped up from Clara:
Clara: “Freya, did you see Twitter? Almost the whole crew’s come forward. Don’t worry- you’ll come out of this clean.”
Freya: “Yeah, I saw. The tide’s/already turned. I’m not worried. But thank you so much for having my back. Love you. Mwah!”

Clara: “Pfft, what are you thanking me for? You know Sophia broke protocol, right? She used your name for publicity without clearing it with the crew. She seriously thought Zane was some clueless rookie? That man’s been in this game longer than she’s been alive. You think he didn’t have a backup plan? Plus, you’ve got Louis behind you. Zane’s not stupid–he’s gonna respect that. No one wants to piss off someone like him.”
Freya had barely typed a reply before another message popped in:
Clara: “Oh, and listen–you need to be careful too. Sophia might not be the brightest, but her agent? Definitely not dumb. If they came for you this hard, I’d bet anything there’s someone behind her. Make sure Louis keeps an eye out.”
Freya: “I had the same thought. Already gave him a heads–up. But thank you again, really.”
Clara: “You’re too sweet. And hey, looks like this whole thing gave you a popularity boost. Your Twitter’s blowing up. Even if you ever stop writing, you’ve got a solid audience now- advertising gigs, here you come!”
Freya chuckled and played along:
Freya: “Exactly! If I ever hit a creative wall, I’ll just switch to ads and hustle for some lunch money. Still pays the bills, right?”
Clara: “Ha, stop it! You’ve got Louis. Even if you never work again, you’ll never be broke. But seriously–if you do want to act someday, with your looks? You’d be booked out months in advance. Just guest spots would rake in the cash.”
Freya: “My acting’s terrible, though. But thanks anyway, ha.”
After a few more back–and–forths, Clara had to rush off to her next shoot. Before signing off, she told Freya to reach out anytime and not to hold back.
Freya thanked her sincerely and ended the chat.
Violet and others followed up with their own posts–less enthusiastic than Clara’s, but still publicly supportive, Freya made sure to respond to each one with appreciation.
Once she’d replied to everyone, she checked Sophia’s Twitter again.
Still nothing.
But on Sophia’s end, things were spiraling out of control.
“I told
you not to mess with Freya! Look at the mess we’re in now. The internet hates me, the

whole production team is icing me out, they didn’t even bother contacting me–they just dropped that statement like I was trash. Now Zane’s even dragging the agency into this mess. What do we do?! What the hell am I supposed to do now?!”
