Cathy Abandoned

"Oh! Damn it, why did they suddenly add a n****r character and make me act opposite him? This is disgusting!"

"F**K! Those yellow monkeys in Japan want to invite me over to act? Reject them immediately!"

"Why can a n****r like Viola get nominated for an Oscar? Are those judges blind?"

"..."

Cathy was spoiled and willful in private, cruel and arrogant, completely unlike the elegant and noble image she usually presented.

No wonder Tony Stark had fallen out with her completely and had never appeared in public with her again.

"Heh heh, let's see if you die this time!"

Mark logged into the AOL forum through Cathy's account, took screenshots of those emails, and posted them online.

AOL was currently the highest-traffic community website in the United States, equivalent to a combination of Weibo, forums, and news sites.

Many celebrities had opened columns on AOL to interact with their fans.

Cathy was no exception, and she had several million followers.

The racist remarks posted from her account quickly spread like wildfire across major forums and community websites.

There were now as many as 150 million internet users in the United States.

Although online news was still not quite as popular as mainstream media such as television stations, the gap was already minimal.

An hour later, the entire internet erupted!

Cathy's racist remarks had gone viral across the web and made headlines on every major news site.

#Image shattered! Cathy Dale cursed in private and made racist remarks!#

#Cathy Dale's racist remarks sparked public outrage!#

#Zero tolerance from public opinion: Cathy Dale must be held accountable for her racist remarks!#

For a public figure, racism was undoubtedly an enormous problem, second only to violent crime.

If nothing unexpected happened, Cathy's career would be completely over.

Hilton Hotel, presidential suite.

Cathy was lying in bed with a Hollywood newcomer who had just turned twenty, playing cards.

The room was filled with the scent of hormones, along with breathless sounds that made one's ears burn.

"Ring ring ring..."

A burst of urgent cellphone ringing suddenly sounded in the room.

Cathy did not stop moving. She merely stretched out her snow-white arm and grabbed the phone from the bedside table.

"Pant, pant... Hello, what is it?"

Cathy answered the phone while breathing heavily.

"Cathy, are you f***ing insane? Why did you post those chat logs online?!"

Her agent Griffin's furious roar rang in her ears.

After being alerted by the company and seeing the chat logs Cathy had posted online, Griffin felt as though he had been struck by lightning. It felt like the sky was falling!

She had actually crossed Hollywood's untouchable red line of racism!

What made it even worse was that one of the screenshots showed an email exchange between him and Cathy.

It was from the time Cathy had viciously cursed Ovira for receiving an Oscar nomination. Griffin had merely echoed her with a couple of offhand remarks.

Now that the chat logs had been exposed, not only might Cathy's career be finished, but Griffin himself would probably be blacklisted by the industry as well.

"W-what happened?"

Cathy was still dazed and had no idea what was going on.

"Don't you f***ing know what you did? Those racist remarks you made in private were posted online by you! Get online and log into the AOL community right now, then delete every last one of those posts!"

Griffin roared his order.

Although he did not know whether it would help, it was still better than leaving them up there.

"It wasn't me, I didn't..."

Cathy tried to explain, but Griffin had already hung up.

Thinking of what Griffin had just said, Cathy Dale panicked.

She could no longer be bothered with pleasure and kicked the young man still lying on top of her away.

Staggering out of bed, Cathy did not even have time to put on clothes before immediately going to the next room and turning on the computer.

After logging into the AOL community site, Cathy indeed saw screenshots of emails posted from her account more than an hour ago.

"How is this possible? What the f*** is going on?"

Cathy was completely dumbfounded.

At that moment, the comments beneath the email screenshots were densely packed.

"Cathy Dale, go die! I misjudged you. I never thought you were a racist!"

"I used to like you so much, but you're actually this kind of person! I'll never watch another movie you make!"

"Someone like this should get out of the entertainment industry!"

"..."

Every comment was viciously condemning Cathy.

Cathy did not dare read closely. In a panic, she hurriedly deleted all the email screenshots.

Although those racist remarks had been deleted, the internet had a memory, and the matter continued to ferment.

The next morning, major television stations began reporting on it as well.

This finally set everything off completely!

Cathy Dale, one of Hollywood's top stars, faced condemnation from nearly everyone.

By the afternoon, large crowds had begun gathering to protest.

People held up posters of Cathy with glaring red crosses drawn over them.

CAA still wanted to protect Cathy.

After all, Cathy earned over a hundred million dollars a year from film salaries and commercial endorsements. CAA alone received more than ten million in commissions, so naturally they did not want to abandon such a cash cow.

They held a press conference that very day.

"Following our investigation, Cathy Dale's computer was hacked. The hacker used her account to post certain inappropriate remarks..."

CAA's public relations manager Grant tried to muddle through and pin the blame on the hacker.

"Even if the email screenshots were posted by a hacker, the racist remarks in them were made by Cathy Dale, weren't they?"

A reporter stood up and exposed Grant's futile attempt to conceal the truth.

Grant was left speechless. Faced with the facts, he had no way to deny them.

The press conference soon ended hastily.

After the news was reported, not only was Cathy criticized this time, but CAA, which had tried to shield her, also came under fire.

Left with no choice, CAA could only sacrifice the pawn to save the king and prepare to abandon Cathy.

The company soon released an announcement on its official website.

"In light of the inappropriate remarks made by company artist Cathy Dale, the company has decided to impose the following penalties."

"All film and television productions currently being filmed by Cathy Dale will recast her role and reshoot it. She is prohibited from participating in all future company projects."

"All endorsements, advertisements, and offline events are canceled. Cathy Dale will be responsible for compensation for breach of contract."

"All agent and public relations teams serving Cathy Dale are disbanded. She is prohibited from participating in company events and gatherings."

CAA had clearly blacklisted Cathy Dale completely.

And it was not just CAA. Other Hollywood film and television companies also released statements one after another, declaring that they would no longer cooperate with Cathy Dale in any capacity.
