After consulting a therapist who advised me to take some time off, I’ll be reducing my schedule in the coming weeks. Please wait for me.

The moment Roschelle Whitaker’s post went live, it reignited her fans’ fury. Related topics surged in popularity, and the internet exploded again.

Among them, “Roschelle Whitaker Depression” climbed to #2 on the Trending Topics Board. Below it were entries like “Heartbroken for Roschelle Whitaker,” “Roschelle Whitaker Self-Harm,” and “Roschelle Whitaker Alarieka Huston.”

Countless fans flooded her post’s comments and topic threads, pleading to stop cyberbullying Roschelle Whitaker. They urged people to care for her and raise awareness for those with mental illness.

“Sweetie, is it depression? Sweetie, please rest well. Stay offline for now – we’ll fight for you.”

“Awwww sweetie, what happened? Take good care of yourself! Don’t waste time on unworthy people or things. We only care about you, only love you, and will wait for you forever!”

“Rose sweetie, let’s skip the Mcintosh Piano Competition from now on, okay? That contest isn’t worthy of you. You deserve bigger stages and grander trophies. Ditch worthless awards and competitions – just focus on healing. We’ll be right here when you’re ready.”

“Sweetie, I’ll curse them for you. You just live peacefully and play piano.”

Once “Roschelle Whitaker Depression” trended, public opinion swung overwhelmingly. Doubtful netizens got bombarded by Rose’s fans and bandwagon critics until they deleted posts and issued forced apologies.

Media and influencers then amplified the topic, pushing it to peak visibility.

Roschelle Whitaker timed it perfectly – right after the Mcintosh Piano Competition’s official account announced Alarieka Huston’s voluntary withdrawal of her championship trophy.

The back-to-back timing of the Mcintosh Piano Competition and Roschelle Whitaker’s depression inevitably linked both events.

By the time Alarieka saw it, Rose’s fans had already swarmed the competition’s official post. The comments section overflowed with their vitriol – too vile to read.

“Care to explain how you drove someone as cheerful and optimistic as Rose into depression? What’s the point of this post now? Trying to make her suffer more?”

“Mcintosh Piano Competition is third-rate! Does anyone NOT know this?”

“Copycat alert? Rose gave up her trophy out of kindness. Alaricka quit because she knew she didn’t deserve it, right?”

“Seriously, what connections does Alaricka Huston have? Why’s the committee protecting her?”

“Make Alaricka come out and apologize! Can’t you apologize? Apologize to Roschelle Whitaker! You drove her to depression – can’t even say sorry? Too proud for that?”

Some comments even started fantasizing about an improper relationship between Alarieka Huston and the event organizers – a married male executive with children – describing it in vivid detail. Some even specified which hotel room Alarieka Huston and the executive had booked, making it sound utterly convincing, and shockingly, many commenters believed it.

“No way, isn’t Alarieka Huston still in high school? Would she do something like this?”

“I saw it with my own eyes, what do you think? What’s high school got to do with it? Alarieka Huston isn’t some…[details of fabricated encounter]... they stayed all night. People saw them walk out holding hands.”

“Holy shit, this is wild! More details, please! I need to hear everything!”
