Chapter 190 Unexpectedly Entering the Fan Circle Mode
Chapter 190 Unexpectedly Gaining Fans
Jessica wanted to get up, but her knees were both sore and numb. Her body stiffened for several seconds before she hurriedly moved back a few inches, only to meet Gabriel's gaze again.
Gabriel looked at her calmly with a hint of amusement. His tone was light and faint, as if only she could hear him, "What do you want to do?"
Jessica quickly continued to move back, finally stumbling and sitting directly on the carpet. She raised her hand to push the stray hair by her cheek behind her ear, then, as if nothing had happened, she leaned on the coffee table with her elbow and stood up.
Then she hurried into the kitchen to find Caroline.
Gabriel, on the other hand, remained seated, looking down at his crotch.
Then, Gabriel rubbed his brows, helplessly chuckling.
The next afternoon, Zoey sent a message on WhatsApp.
Zoey: [Jessica, you're trending again!]
In the past few months, Jessica had indeed trended quite a bit.
There were two trending topics related to Keegan and Trinity, subtly involving her, but she never responded.
The official announcement of Tilance's endorsement in the Fenggu District also occurred, where she cooperated with the advertising campaign and shared Tilance's official Facebook posts.
In recent days, due to the contract termination between Four Seas Entertainment and Trinity, Jessica was inadvertently caught up in the controversy. However, she wasn't at the top of the trending list, even with Donna adding fuel to the fire. She only reached the top three or four positions at most.
But at this moment, The incident of Jessica being surrounded by Donna's fans and her first response pushed her to the top two trending spots.
It was because the video of the girl holding a camera and confronting Jessica was posted online by Donna's fan support group on Facebook. This girl with the camera was a major fan in Donna's fan group, often following Donna and taking photos at various events. She would edit and post the photos on Facebook, managing various fan support pages on behalf of Donna's official fan club.
Donna's Beauty Station: [Everyone, I'm sorry. Starting yesterday afternoon, I officially announced my withdrawal from Donna's fan support group, and all activities on the support pages are suspended. Regarding this twenty-minute video, I've considered whether to post it all night. I locked myself at home, repeatedly watching the video, and finally decided to post it. I don't have anything special to say; I'm just a student; I don't know much. I can only say that on the path of idol chasing, I have always been true to myself, supporting out of love and standing up for my idol. Every fan would do the same. But the murky waters in the entertainment industry are not something we fans can easily see through. Is hearsay really the truth? I understood overnight the phrase 'ignorance is bliss.' Perhaps some people often stand at the center of attention because they have something others don't, leading to being gossiped about. This was not her intention, but this restless online environment has exploited each of us.]
The video was accompanied by footage of the young fans surrounding Jessica in front of the hospital.
As Jessica walked out of the hospital, she was blocked by five or six Donna fans holding up unflattering photos of her. Yet Jessica remained calm throughout.
"Let me tell you, no matter what, don't subject yourselves to baseless rumors. Dignity without results is worthless.
"Trying to ruin someone's reputation in a circle is too easy. Do you know what a lie repeated a thousand times becomes the truth means? Everyone adds fuel to distort the truth above facts, conveying 'insider information' they want others to know, and countless people gradually spread baseless rumors, distorting the original event beyond recognition.
"If Pamela can see this video, I hope you can continue to uphold the principle of honesty, fully explain the scene of my conversation with Donna Martin, and clarify the context in which I said something. There must be a reason behind such an ambiguous conversation.
"A good idol can be a guiding light in your life, not turn you into a vicious and aggressive abuser."
Apart from the promotional videos and behind-the-scenes interviews released by the advertising campaign and the production team, this was the first time Jessica had directly responded to all the rumors surrounding her in the past few months.
She didn't complain, nor did she deliberately emphasize or conceal anything. She simply stood there quietly, speaking a few words as if chatting casually with a group of children.
Even when facing the fans attacking her with cameras, she remained fearless, with clear eyes and a calm demeanor, making it hard not to ponder over her seemingly simple yet profound words.
Indeed, there was never any evidence to support the claims of her being a third wheel. It all started with rumors and escalated with the manipulation of marketing tactics, along with Trinity's ambiguous smirk.
The same applied to the Donna incident, where it was Donna's word against hers. She only mentioned that Jessica had said at the time, without mentioning the context, and exaggeratedly portrayed her as a complete fool.
Fairness lay in the hearts of people.
In reality, hearts were not always fair and often leaned towards what they favored.
Justice between right and wrong was not always easily discernible.
The trending topics kept changing, and the discussion about Jessica suddenly took a different turn.
[Are we being maliciously manipulated? Jessica never responded to anything from the beginning. It's clear she's someone who takes her work seriously, is quiet, and not pretentious.]
[I didn't expect Jessica to have such a strong personality!]
[What's going on with Donna? Can Pamela explain the whole process? Fusion Entertainment-Pamela]
[Ignorance is bliss.]
[There's really no evidence linking her to these incidents. Where did these rumors originate? Suddenly, all the marketing accounts have been attacking her!]
[Where is this so-called insider information from? Is it even real?]
[Mrs. Jenner, please respond on Facebook! Even when faced with unsupportive fans, she remains calm. I'd love to see Mrs. Jenner confront them on Facebook!]
[Mrs. Jenner is great. She outshines certain uneducated female idol singers. She should speak up more on Facebook! Dignity without results is worthless. Just based on this, I'm becoming a fan of Jessica!]
[She's low-key and doesn't cause trouble, remains firm and rational when facing fans attacking her. I like that. Count me in as a stranger turning into one of her supporters!]
[A stranger turning into one of her supporters!]
[A stranger turning into one of her supporters +1]
Unexpectedly, once this video was released, Jessica began to draw attention and gain fans.s.
