Chapter 930 Carelessness
Azalea's hand slipped, and her manager caught it, quickly un-liking the post.
The manager sensed something was off. "Azalea, what were you doing just now?"
Azalea had accidentally liked a post from an entertainment blogger's account.
The post claimed Natalie had taken over Azalea's role, saying the character was perfect for Azalea and doubting Natalie's ability to pull it off. They suggested the production team should wait until Azalea's legs healed since she was the first choice for the lead role.
Azalea's like blew up and became a trending topic.
Media folks, always on the lookout, noticed Azalea's accidental like and spread it like wildfire.
Even though Azalea resented Natalie, she knew she couldn't ask the crew to wait six months for her. She was just venting and thought she had liked the post with a secondary account.
Azalea looked to her manager for help, and the manager immediately called in the PR team.
The PR team, sticking to their usual playbook, claimed Azalea's account had been hacked and that she hadn't liked the post herself.
But a lot of netizens weren't buying it.
[Another hacking excuse? The platform won't take the blame for this. Every time a celeb accidentally likes something, their team says it's a hack. Do they think we're idiots?]
[My friend works on the production team. The lead female character is supposed to be around 25. Azalea is over 30, so she's not right for it. Natalie is perfect for the role. This media account is just talking nonsense.]
[Natalie is a lead actress who's grossed $3 billion at the box office. She's working with Matthew for the second time. I'm excited to see her performance. She'll nail the roles of Kaia and Gia. Azalea just had bad luck. The projects she worked on got shelved. This movie was one she got by lowering her fee and using her connections. But Azalea is just unlucky. She joined the crew and then had to leave. No production team would wait six months for her. Natalie came to the rescue. If it weren't for Natalie joining in time, the production team would have incurred more costs.]
[Exactly, Natalie saved the day, and her acting skills and talent are well-recognized.]
[I'll definitely support any movie with Natalie in it.]
[Azalea is so petty. Her team should buy her some anti-slip gloves.]
[Azalea is really fragile, both physically and emotionally. She's secretly jealous of Natalie. I used to think her shelved projects were just bad luck, but now I see she has plenty of resources. She joined both a series and a movie, but they got shelved. No production team would wait for her.]
[I also think Azalea has terrible luck. Every project she works on gets shelved. When I first became her fan, she was doing great. But her poor choices, useless team, and lack of effort ruined her.]
[Isn't this just Azalea being jealous of Natalie? Natalie clearly came to the rescue.]
Natalie had already heard about Azalea's like. But she just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart.
That was the entertainment industry, full of scheming and competition for good roles, with plenty of behind-the-scenes drama.
Over the weekend, Natalie and Heather headed back to Vachilit.
Heather went to find Yancy.
Natalie got a call from someone named Milan that Lauchelle had mentioned.
Natalie took Milan's call and went to the Imperial Nightclub, a place she had been to many times before.
