“Oh! Damn, why did they suddenly add a n*gger character, and make this lady act opposite him? This is so disgusting!”
“Why can a nigger like Viola be nominated for the Oscars?! Are those judges all blind?”
“…”
Kathy was willful, spoiled, harsh, and arrogant in private, which was completely different from the elegant and noble image she usually projected.
No wonder Tony Stark had completely broken ties with her back then and never appeared together in public again.
“Humph, let’s see if you survive this time!”
Mark logged into the AOL forum through Kathy’s account, took screenshots of these email contents, and posted them online.
AOL was currently the community website with the highest traffic across the U.S., equivalent to a combination of Weibo, forums, and news websites.
Many stars had opened columns on AOL to interact with their fans.
Kathy was no exception, and she had millions of followers paying attention to her.
The racist remarks published by her account quickly spread wildly across major forums and community websites.
Today, netizens in the United States reached as many as 150 million.
Although the popularity of online news still couldn’t compare with mainstream media like television stations, it was already very close.
One hour later, the entire internet was boiling!
Kathy publishing racist remarks had already gone viral across the internet, making headlines on major news websites.
#Character Collapse!

For a public figure, racism was undoubtedly a huge issue, second only to violent crime.
Barring any accidents, Kathy’s career was about to come to a complete end.
Hilton Hotel, Presidential Suite.
Kathy was lying on the bed playing poker with a newly-turned twenty-year-old Hollywood rookie actor.
The room was filled with the scent of hormones and breathing that made people blush and their hearts race.
“Ring, ring…”
A flurry of urgent cell phone ringtones suddenly sounded in the room.
“Hoo hoo… Hello, what is it?”
Kathy answered the phone while panting heavily.
“Kathy, are you fucking crazy? Why did you post those chat logs online?!”
The angry roar of her agent Griffin reached her ears.
After receiving a reminder from the company and seeing the chat logs Kathy posted online, Griffin felt like he had been struck by lightning, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse!
She had actually crossed the red line of racism that Hollywood absolutely forbade touching!
And what was even more screw-up-inducing was that one of the images was a chat log of emails between him and Kathy.
It was the time when Kathy harshly scolded Viola for getting an Oscar nomination, and Griffin had just casually chimed in with a couple of sentences back then.
Now that the chat logs were exposed, not only might Kathy’s career be ended, but Griffin, the agent, would probably also be blacklisted by the industry.
“W-What’s wrong?”
Kathy was still a bit dazed and didn’t know what had happened.
“Don’t you know what the fuck you did? Those racist remarks you made in private were posted by you online! Now log into the AOL community immediately and delete all those remarks for me!”
Griffin roared and ordered.
Although he didn’t know if doing this would be useful, it was better than leaving them hanging there.
“It wasn’t me, I didn’t…”
Kathy wanted to defend herself, but Griffin on the other end had already hung up the phone.
Thinking of Griffin’s words just now, Kathy Dale instantly panicked.
She couldn’t care about continuing to enjoy the pleasure, and kicked away the young fresh meat still lying on top of her.
Stumbling out of bed, Kathy didn’t have time to put on clothes, and immediately walked to the next room to turn on the computer.
Logging into the AOL community website, Kathy indeed saw the screenshots of the email contents published by her account more than an hour ago.
“How is this possible! What the fuck is going on here?”
Kathy was completely dumbfounded.
At this time, beneath the email screenshots, there were densely packed comments from netizens.
“Kathy Dale, go to hell! I misjudged you; I never expected you to actually be a racist!”
“To think I liked you so much before, turns out you’re this kind of person! I will definitely never watch any movies you make in the future!”
“…”
The comments were all people fiercely cursing Kathy.
Kathy couldn’t care less about looking closely, and hastily and clumsily deleted all these email screenshots.
Although these racist remarks were deleted, the internet has a memory, and the whole incident continued to ferment.
The next morning, major television stations also began broadcasting this matter.
Now it was finally completely detonated!
Kathy Dale, the top Hollywood star, welcomed verbal abuse from almost everyone.
By the afternoon, a large crowd had begun to gather to protest.
Kathy’s poster was held up by people, marked with an eye-catching red cross.
CAA Talent Agency still wanted to protect Kathy.
After all, Kathy’s annual salary and ad endorsements amounted to hundreds of millions of dollars, and CAA’s commission alone was tens of millions.
Of course they didn’t want to give up this cash cow.
They held a press conference that very day.
“After our investigation, Kathy Dale’s computer was hacked, and this hacker used her account to publish some bad remarks…”
Grant, the PR manager of CAA, attempted to muddle through and pin the blame on a hacker.
“Even if the email screenshots were sent by a hacker, those racist remarks were said by Kathy Dale, right?”
A reporter stood up, exposing Grant’s clumsy cover-up.
Grant was left speechless by the question; in the face of facts, he simply could not deny it.
The press conference quickly ended hastily.
After the news report went out, not only was Kathy scolded this time, but even CAA, which tried to shield her, was criticized.
With no other choice, CAA had no choice but to sacrifice the rook to save the king and prepare to abandon Kathy.
The company quickly released an announcement on its official website.
“In view of the inappropriate remarks made by our artist Kathy Dale, the company has decided to impose the following penalties on her.”
“All film and television dramas currently being filmed by Kathy Dale will be recast and reshot, and she is prohibited from participating in all subsequent company projects.”
“Endorsements, commercials, and offline events are all cancelled, and the liquidated damages shall be compensated by Kathy Dale.”
“All management and PR teams serving Kathy Dale are completely disbanded, and she is banned from participating in company events and gatherings.”
CAA was clearly completely blacklisting Kathy Dale.
And not just CAA; other Hollywood film and television companies also successively issued statements stating that they would no longer have any cooperation with Kathy Dale in the future.
