RingRingRing: [Ahem, I work at Starlight. Got some inside scoop. All those weird looks Alicia had before were all her agent’s idea. The makeup artist was just following orders p>
Go_Hiking:[I’ve also heard Alicia really had a tough time in LUMIA. They kept giving her stuff that totally didn’t suit her at all p>
Rain_forever: [Her agent even made her pretend her X account got hacked and delete all her posts, just to make her look bad and throw her fans under the bus. No wonder she got even more hate for it p>
Shiny: [Makes you wonder how much of that old drama was actually real p>
DANK: [Did her agent seriously have it out for her or something p>
Fullmango: [That’s why Alicia ended up getting pushed to quit LUMIA and terminate her contract p>
Of course, this wasn’t really a Starlight Entertainment employee. It was just someone planted by Lucent Media’s PR team.
And honestly, everything they said was true.
Sure enough, aside from Nicole’s fans, the rest of LUMIA’s supporters, and Alicia’s haters, most people in the live chat actually found it pretty convincing.
Nicole’s fans immediately jumped in to fan the flames again p>
Ain’t_alive: [Don’t even try to defend her. Everyone knows she bullied her own teammates and is always trying to leech off these two for clout p>
GHOST: [Yeah, no matter how much you try to spin it, her bad attitude and shamelessness are just facts p>
Shoo: [Just watch, she’s about to get totally put in her place by Nicolas and Maxwell p>
Crawfish: [Bet she’ll shamelessly try to act all buddy–buddy with Nicolas and Maxwell, like they’re old friends or something p>
Pomelo: [She’s gonna be so embarrassed. Those two only pay attention to Nicole. She’s not even on their radar p>
Gee_zer: [If I were her, with all the teammates she’s bullied, the popular young actress she tried to piggyback off and even replace, plus the two top idols she’s tried to ride the coattails of, no way I’d dare show my face on this show p>
Badasss: [Alicia was so bold when she tagged Nicole on X before. Nicolas and Maxwell are definitely gonna stand up for Nicole p>
Hot_temper]: [Just wait, Alicia’s about to get totally roasted by those two top idols p>
Mia: [Let’s be real, those two are famous for not caring about the occasion. If they want to throw shade, they’ll

There were a few people throwing shade at Darren in the chat, but those comments totally got buried under all the praise for Alicia’s looks, the dragging, and everyone just waiting for her to get called out.
Right now, the whole chat was just spamming [Waiting for the face slap p>
Nicole kept her smile on as Alicia walked in, looking effortlessly gorgeous, but inside, she was seriously annoyed.
She really hated being on camera with Alicia when she actually looked good for once.
Because the second they were side by side, everyone would start comparing, and Alicia just blew Nicole out of the water in the looks department.
That was one of the big reasons why Nicole just couldn’t stand Alicia.
If it weren’t for the fact that she didn’t want Nicolas getting close to Alicia on this show, or even worse, making up with her, Nicole honestly wouldn’t have bothered coming at all.
‘Who cares about looks anyway? It’s not like that’s all that matters,‘ Nicole tried to convince herself. ‘As long as I can beat Alicia in everything else, I’m still the winner!
Nicole thought to herself, ‘Bet Alicia’s gonna make a beeline for Nicolas and Maxwell the second she gets the chance, probably trying to chat them up like they’re old friends.
‘Every time we’ve run into her before, she’s had stars in her eyes for those two, always the first to cozy up and act like their number one fan.
Her agent’s hired trolls were probably already hyping things up in the chat, claiming Alicia would be all over Nicolas and Maxwell, just so everyone could watch her get put in her place.
As long as Alicia made the first move and said hi, even if Nicolas and Maxwell replied, everyone watching would immediately assume Alicia was shameless. Their impression of her would tank.
