Chapter 1071 Juniper Apologizes
"No way, Sunny, you can't let the higher-ups at Star Entertainment know about this," Juniper begged.
"Juniper, if your reputation tanks, you'll have to pay for breaking your endorsement deals. Do you even know how much the penalty is for breaching those six contracts?" Sunny shot back.
Juniper knew all too well. Sunny wasted no time and called the company. The higher-ups at Star Entertainment were quickly brought up to speed. Keeping this under wraps was impossible. Tracking an IP address or checking surveillance footage was just a matter of time.
At 9 AM, Samuel's and Natalie's studios released a joint statement: [The video in question was filmed by industry peers to mislead the public. Samuel and Natalie are schoolmates and friends. After the interview, they had dinner with Oscar and Matthew. The paparazzi maliciously edited the footage. The hotel video was illegally filmed by peers. In reality, Natalie was in Samuel's room for just ten minutes to discuss a plot point and then left. Please stop spreading false rumors. This is an official statement.]
Both studios shared the statement.
Right after, Natalie posted on Facebook: [Why did I address yesterday's incident only today? Some say it's because I feel guilty, but without uncovering the truth and identifying who released the video, I couldn't speak out. Although I haven't been in the entertainment industry for long, I have never falsely accused anyone, never fought for others' resources, and never targeted anyone. I hope this malicious competition can stop. I already know who released the video to slander me. I hope she reflects on her actions.]
Underneath her post, a heated debate erupted among netizens.
[Who filmed it?]
[Someone secretly filmed the video and spread lies. The timeline for Natalie and Samuel doesn't add up. Besides filming in the same city, they were always in different cities. How could they be dating?]
[Natalie is already married. Using such tactics to spread rumors is truly despicable.]
[It seems like Natalie has already identified the person who released the video. That's good. I hope that person truly reflects, and and that the industry stands against this kind of toxic behavior.]
[I heard it was Juniper who released the video.]
[How could it be Juniper? Really? Who told you that?]
[A friend of mine works at Star Entertainment. My friend said that this morning, several higher-ups at Star Entertainment arrived at the company early and have been in a meeting for an hour. For several top executives to have a meeting so early, it must be serious. So, everyone speculates that the video release is related to someone from Star Entertainment. And the only Star Entertainment artist related to Natalie is Juniper. At yesterday's Rising Winds interview, Juniper kept trying to overshadow Natalie, wearing such glamorous clothes that you would think she was the lead actress.]
[Makes sense.]
[The video was clearly filmed during the Rising Winds shoot. At that time, the only people in the same hotel were some tourists and the Rising Winds crew. It must be Juniper.]
[I never thought Juniper could be so despicable, slandering people behind their backs.]
