Panicking, the company frantically deleted the comment and issued an emergency public apology.
They swore they had immediately fired the employee responsible for the post.
But it was too little, too late. The damage was done.
It was no wonder ForeverYoung had been absolutely crushed by Vance Apothecary on its very first day.
Both were new female-targeted skincare brands, but the difference in quality and class between Vance Apothecary and the grossly overpriced ForeverYoung was staggering.
The final nail in the coffin was Maeve's brilliant marketing strategy. She had shipped out her free samples the exact day of her press conference.
The women who received the cream eagerly tested it out.
The formula was exceptionally effective for mature skin.
Women over forty, who struggled with deep wrinkles and visible aging, saw the most dramatic changes.
Applying the cream yielded the exact same miraculous results shown on stage. In under a minute, years of aging simply vanished, leaving their complexions luminous and youthful.
Desperate to prove it wasn't a scam, users flooded the internet with raw, unfiltered before-and-after photos.
This organic, grassroots proof generated infinitely more hype than the Grover Group's multi-million-dollar celebrity campaign.
Consumers who missed out on the initial batch were begging Vance Apothecary for a restock date, desperate to get their hands on it.
With the Vance cream practically performing magic, and ForeverYoung drowning in scandal, the market choice was obvious.
The entire internet rallied behind Maeve's brand.
"Grover Group Ain't Sh*t" once again dominated the trending charts.
Melissa's career in the region was dead, and the Grover Group was a national laughingstock.
Their stock crashed overnight, wiping out hundreds of millions of dollars in market value.
