Chapter 150: A Minor Celebrity Acts Like a Diva on Set
In Eve’s livestream, she wore flawless makeup and had just finished teaching her fans a new look. Shifting gears, she casually began talking about a recent project she’d been a part of. Without naming the production, Eve described it as a transformational work by a well-known director, featuring a rising starlet in the lead role.
As she chatted, her tone suddenly shifted, delving into gossip about the set. One juicy tidbit concerned an actress who had “forced her way into the crew and was acting like she owned the place.”
“Let’s just call this actress ‘Q’,” Eve suggested. “Q auditioned before filming began, but her acting was so bad that Mr. Jos rejected her. Later, because another actress got injured and had to leave, Q pulled some strings and forced her way into the cast.”
“Q has no acting skills and no notable works to her name, but she’s got plenty of attitude. She managed to join Mr. Jos’ crew, but on her first day, she had a major blowout with her agent and even fired the stylist because she didn’t like the design!”
“Q only got into the crew because the lead actress recommended her. You’d think she’d be grateful, but nope! On her first day, she completely ignored the person who got her in.”
Eve’s livestream had tens of thousands of viewers. While she didn’t explicitly name names, the audience quickly pieced together who “Q” might be.
“Transformational director? Lead actress is a rising starlet? Supporting actress replaced last minute? Sounds like Mr. Jos’ new movie, A Little Spark of Joy!”
“Someone cracked the case!”
“Whoa, is Q Olivia?”
“Olivia? The one from Sweetheart Forevermore with the hideous costumes and cringe-worthy acting? Has Mr. Jos lost his mind casting her?”
“No way, right? Olivia, with her tiny following, is throwing tantrums with her agent and stylist? Who gave her the confidence?”
“Some people think joining a famous director’s project will make them an instant star. She should take a good look in the mirror first.”
“Seriously? At her level, acting like a diva? That’s rich.”
Eve continued her exposé, saying, “You won’t believe just how unbearable Ms. Q’s behavior is.”
“Her second scene was with the second male lead. Thanks to her, that scene took the entire night to film, with countless retakes. The director was furious.”
“But guess what? Ms. Q didn’t feel the least bit apologetic about holding up the shoot. Instead, during breaks, she shamelessly approached the male lead to cozy up to him…”
“You imagine how tough it was for that actor? Because of her, he got chewed out by the director again and again…”
Jared had initially tuned into the livestream hoping to learn more about Olivia. What he didn’t expect was to stumble upon a broadcast spilling dirt on her—while sitting right next to her!
The awkwardness was palpable. The livestream’s comments section was filled with nothing but scathing remarks about Olivia. Jared cautiously glanced at her face, bracing for a reaction.
But Olivia remained impassive, her expression unreadable. Jared was speechless. He’d already known Olivia didn’t have the best reputation in the industry, but could it be that she’d grown numb to the criticism?
Thanks to Eve’s gossip-laden livestream, gossip pages and tabloid blogs wasted no time jumping on the story. Within hours, articles with titles like “Minor Celebrity Throws Diva Tantrums on Set” began making the rounds online. Although these posts didn’t explicitly name Olivia, the clues in the stories made it easy for anyone familiar with the production to identify her as the target.
