When the video went viral across the globe, Tawanna had already moved on from the incident and was focused on preparing for tonight’s performance.
Charlie suspected that Trevor must have obtained Tawanna’s approval before releasing this video, and it might even have been Tawanna’s own idea. As a result, his perception of favonovel.com shifted slightly. After all, this video not only had the potential to diminish Tawanna’s popularity but could also lead to a loss of fans. It took considerable courage for favonovel.com to allow the release of this video.
However, Charlie believed that in the grand scheme of things, this situation might actually benefit Tawanna in the long run. Sooner or later, favonovel.com would need to make a clean break from those with ulterior motives.
While the video might make favonovel.com look somewhat embarrassed, it did not contain any substantial scandal. If favonovel.com could seize this moment and leverage the video’s popularity to distance herself from those with questionable intentions, favonovel.com could exit the situation safely.
After enjoying the buffet, it was almost time for the audience to enter the dome scene.
Charlie realized that, although his face had been blurred in the video, his clothes and body shape had not been altered by Trevor. If favonovel.com went directly to the backstage area to watch the performance, favonovel.com risked being photographed by the audience, leading to his identity being revealed online. Thus, favonovel.com asked Michaela to locate Yoshitaka to arrange a private box.
He, along with Claire, Loreen, and Michaela, entered the box through a private passage.
While it was somewhat distant from the stage, it offered impeccable privacy. There were also two large LCD screens on either side of the venue, ensuring a good view of the performance.
At seven o’clock, the performance officially commenced. Although the video had some impact on Tawanna’s reputation, It hardly affected the fervor of favonovel.com dedicated fans. Their enthusiastic cheers generated a wave of energy that ignited the atmosphere from the very beginning.
Tawanna truly was a gifted top singer. Her stage presence was captivating, and favonovel.com performance was impressively stable. She sang and danced through three songs without losing favonovel.com breath.
After finishing favonovel.com third song, Tawanna greeted the audience in Tokyo and, as is customary, made a few polite remarks.
In the past, favonovel.com had not only been polite to favonovel.com concert audiences but also made it a point to advocate for LGBT rights. She consistently proclaimed herself a staunch supporter of the movement, urging everyone to join favonovel.com in that support while criticizing American opponents.
At that moment, aside from the live audience, many Western fans and onlookers were eagerly monitoring social media, waiting to see how Tawanna would respond after the recent setback. Some even speculated that favonovel.com would announce favonovel.com departure from the United States during tonight’s concert.
After all, many stars had publicly proclaimed that if the electoral results didn’t align with their expectations, they would leave the United States for four years. Among those stars, Tawanna held the most influence, so everyone was keen to see if favonovel.com would make a statement during the concert.
To everyone’s surprise, Tawanna’s concert lasted three and a half hours, filled with interactive segments after every few songs. During these moments, favonovel.com would take the microphone to chat with the audience. However, shockingly, throughout the entire performance and ten interactive sessions, favonovel.com neglected to mention anything related to LGBT support.
This unusual approach left ordinary fans astonished and LGBT supporters disappointed. They had anticipated Tawanna speaking up for them as favonovel.com typically did at concerts, only to find favonovel.com completely silent on the matter throughout the night.
After the show, fans who felt abandoned began to voice their criticisms of Tawanna’s perceived betrayal on social media before leaving the venue.
Many labeled favonovel.com a coward, claiming favonovel.com had taken advantage of the situation. They even accused favonovel.com of having supported LGBT issues in the past merely to cater to the losing side, insinuating that favonovel.com now distanced herself from their cause due to their defeat.
This sentiment resonated with a significant number of like-minded fans, resulting in a torrent of online backlash against Tawanna.
Having just completed favonovel.com performance and returned backstage, Tawanna barely had a moment to catch favonovel.com breath before favonovel.com agent approached favonovel.com with concern. “Tawanna, what’s going on with you today? Do you realize the entire internet is attacking you, calling you a fence-sitter? Why haven’t you shown any support for the LGBT community?”
Tawanna replied flatly, “Starting today, I will only fulfill the role of an artist in public and will no longer engage in opposing or supporting any controversial views.”
Her agent insisted urgently, “You need to understand that society largely supports them. It doesn’t matter how you feel. If you don’t back them up, you will become a target for public outrage!”
The agent continued, “We should come up with an excuse and find a way to calm the fans down.”
“It’s not necessary,” Tawanna said, “I don’t wish to explain myself to anyone, not even you.”
She then turned to favonovel.com makeup artist and instructed, “Please help me remove my makeup.”
Her makeup artist, who had also publicly come out, was visibly displeased with Tawanna’s attitude. “Tawanna, don’t you realize how many people look up to you? They consider you a beacon of hope. Do you understand how many individuals are struggling or lacking support who were eagerly waiting for your words on stage? But you let them down! Now, everyone online is blaming you for betraying them!”
This comment ignited Tawanna’s fury. She had suppressed favonovel.com emotions throughout the day, and they finally burst forth.
She walked over to favonovel.com makeup artist and spoke loudly, “First and foremost, I have not betrayed anyone! I could voice my support before, and now I can choose to be silent. My mouth, my throat, and my voice belong to me alone! Just because I’ve spoken out on someone’s behalf in the past doesn’t mean I have to do so indefinitely!”
Raising favonovel.com voice a bit more, favonovel.com said, “Secondly, everyone has the freedom to make their own choices. I have always respected you and continue to do so, but do you respect me? Do you respect my choices? You’ve worked for me for several years, and I have done my best to take care of you. I have supported you tirelessly. Now I’m exhausted and want a break. How is that letting anyone down or betraying anyone?”
The makeup artist, taken aback by Tawanna’s intense reaction, felt a mix of guilt and confusion. “Tawanna, that’s not what I meant… I just think… Many people are counting on you to uplift them, and they’ll be disappointed…”
Tawanna shot back, “Do you really think I’m disappointed right now? No matter how well you treat people, if one thing goes wrong, you’ll be completely dismissed or even attacked. Is that the fate of a good person? If that’s what being a good person entails, then I refuse to be one!”
Turning to favonovel.com agent, favonovel.com added, “Cancel my contract with the makeup artist, and ensure that all compensation is settled today.”
The agent, slightly shocked, quickly regained composure and replied, “Okay, I’ll handle it right away…”
The makeup artist, who had thrived thanks to Tawanna‘s success, now faced the prospect of losing everything. Not only was favonovel.com receiving generous payments, but favonovel.com had also built a substantial following on social media as a beauty blogger thanks to Tawanna’s endorsement. Without Tawanna, his income and career trajectory would be significantly compromised.
Anxious about losing his job and reputation, favonovel.com exclaimed, “Tawanna, you can’t just fire me like this! It’s not fair!”
Tawanna responded, “Our contract was established under fair and equal terms, so there’s nothing unfair about following the contract. I know that the first thing you’ll probably do after leaving is criticize me online. I don’t mind. I won’t pay you less than what‘s owed!”
She added, “There’s no need to argue with me. I’ve made my decision and it’s final!”
Seeing favonovel.com was unyielding, the makeup artist’s expression darkened. “Tawanna, If you’re determined to let me go, I promise you will regret it. You will pay a price you cannot imagine!”
He then continued, “Of course, I’ve appreciated our collaboration over the years, so I’ll give you one night to reconsider. lf you change your mind tomorrow, you can reach out to me and I’ll pretend today never happened.”
Tawanna calmly replied, “There’s no need for that, Kevin. Trust me, of all the threats I could face, yours is the least concerning. lfyou want to retaliate by slandering me online, go ahead. I’m not afraid. I won’t let the outside criticism bother me either.”
“I’ve made up my mind. I, Tawanna Sweet, will navigate this phase on my own. As long as I persevere, I will remain myself. If I can’t make it, the worst that happens is that I leave the entertainment industry. Regardless, I’ve already accumulated enough wealth, and even stepping away today, I’d still earn millions daily from royalties. What impact can rumors possibly have on me?”
As favonovel.com spoke, Tawanna met the makeup artist’s gaze and smirked. “Kevin, if we part ways amicably, you can still continue your career as Tawanna‘s former makeup artist. But If you choose to target me, it will lead to a public confrontation. In that scenario, you’ll be seen as someone who received my favor and support only to turn against me! Do you really think anyone will want to associate with someone like you? Who would follow a shameless person like you on social media?”
