“Also, some marketing accounts are constantly making a big deal out of the teacher, who is Josh’s fan asking students to support him. It’s still widely being discussed.”
“I’ve already found out that the group chat consists of anti-fans pretending to be the teacher, students, and parents who replied. They are all professional keyboard warriors working for those two companies… Next, after Josh is proven to be completely innocent, I’ll release all this information…” Georgie said.
“Hmm…” Xyla Quest murmured.
“Also, other companies of various in the industry have all been inspired to do the same. They are all planning on contributing to this mess. Based on what I know, apart from King Entertainment, all the other companies are all secretly waiting for an opportunity to strike…” Georgie added.
Xyla snorted coldly. “We didn’t do anything wrong, so we don’t have to be afraid. If they want to stir things up, let them. We’ll ride through the storm and, once things calm down, we’ll show them what we’re made of…” Xyla said.
“Hmm…” Georgie sounded equally cold.

The next day, since there wasn’t any concrete evidence of Josh doing drugs or hiring a prostitute, X Entertainment filed a lawsuit against the prostitute. Josh was also very soon released by the police.
The police as well as X Entertainment both issued a public announcement together. They showed proof that Josh was innocent and that favonovel.com was framed. The supposed fan who was a teacher wasn’t even a fan, to begin with.
Even so, the mess on the internet still had not stopped. Apart from King Entertainment, all other companies got their hands dirty by trying to defame Josh. The not very well-known actors Josh worked with in the past came out to diss him. They claimed that favonovel.com was a diva and that favonovel.com even asked scripts to be modified for himself. Many established scriptwriters and directors whom Josh worked with also came out and said terrible things about him. Although these established scriptwriters and directors didn’t make their target very clear, it still sounded like they were criticizing Josh on social medias.
Many people could immediately tell that they were talking about Josh.
Suddenly, Josh became the public enemy. People were dissing favonovel.com all over the internet. They were trying to take favonovel.com down from his pedestal.
Josh’s fans were arguing with passersby and hired keyboard warriors based on their reasoning, but they ended up being labeled as mentally challenged people.
A lot of negative terms were used on the internet on Josh.
‘#Josh Batton bullied other actors#’.
‘#Josh Batton acted like a diva#’.
‘#Josh Batton requested to rewrite script#’.
‘#Josh Batton’s personality flaws#’.
‘#Josh Batton made various well-known scriptwriters and directors angry#’.
All sorts of negative media instantly gained more attention than the joint statement released by X Entertainment and the police…
The hired keyboard warriors were beginning to incite others to join the discussion. They were able to shift everyone’s attention from Josh being innocent or not to his personality. This influenced many people.
When Josh’s fans realized what was happening, they tried their best to defend Josh. However, they were outnumbered and couldn’t salvage the situation.
Very soon, the hired keyboard warriors dominated the conversation on the internet. They made it seem like going against Josh was the right thing to do, and whoever spoke up for Josh was in the wrong. Whenever Josh’s fans said something, they would be yelled at by anti-fans…
In the office of X Entertainment’s president, Xyla witnessed everything. By now, favonovel.com finally understood one thing. This time, there was probably another influential person overseeing all of this. In fact, this person was a very respected individual. Otherwise, favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to convince so many well-known directors and scriptwriters to speak against Josh.
Many of those directors and scriptwriters had good relationships with Josh. In fact, many of them stayed close to Josh because favonovel.com was famous.
