The call had barely ended when the online comments took a dramatic turn.
A video of Crysti training with the stunt coordinator for two consecutive days on set was released.
There was footage of Danielle arriving late on the first day, suggesting postponing the shoot because she hadn't had time for makeup.
A video of Danielle's assistant notifying the director on the next day that Danielle had caught a chill from the late-night shoot and was heading to the hospital.
And a photo of Danielle's hospital record showing her illness.
[Why is it when Danielle gets sick, it's understandable, but when someone else does, it's diva behavior?]d2
[Shooting all night and not being in top form the next day is understandable, but lots of people shoot at night and they don't all fall ill, do they?]
[A cough and a cold that aren't serious enough for the doctor to recommend an IV or hospitalization, and she insists on it? Who is she trying to impress with her post-incident guilt and apologies? Who doesn't know she's been clinging to the capitalists' coattails, playing the diva and standing people up for years?]
[Look at her assistant's face while asking for a day off from the director.]
[Crysti being a diva? Clearly, this is Danielle's team intentionally smearing her, right?]
[How come the same 'little rich girl' can train for two days on difficult fight scenes in the mountains without issue, but she collapses after one night of shooting? So delicate, what kind of actress is she?]
[Danielle fans, don't say Crysti has delayed the shoot, okay? Your darling Danielle hasn't delayed anything really, throwing diva fits for three days straight. Now she's acting without even learning the fight choreography? Not even the world's greatest actors would dare.]
[And Crysti being a diva? Leaving Danielle hanging? Putting these two topics together is just hilarious, isn't it?]
Danielle's fans were ashamed and embarrassed, and many unfollowed her in droves. Naturally, marketing accounts wouldn't miss such a trending topic, and shares and discussion about the topic skyrocketed.
Another topic quickly climbed the trending searches—
Danielle, what a phony.
Danielle's face went through shades of anger and embarrassment. This was the first time in three years she had experienced such widespread mockery online.
Staring once more at the top trending topic "Crysti's Diva Behavior," she clenched her phone tightly. "Who did this?"
Her assistant shook with fear, "I don't know. Maybe someone who doesn't like Crysti, or maybe she's blocked someone's path."
But Danielle couldn't shake the feeling that something wasn't right. Who would dare to cross a Watson family heiress?
This stunt caused Danielle to lose a few magazine deals and a luxury brand endorsement. They all switched to Crysti, along with other brand endorsements.
Cicely, swamped with calls, passed them off to Chloe.
Chloe happily took them on. She then sent a message to Seth. [Just stirred up a little trouble for your sweetheart.]
Upon receiving Chloe's message, Seth called Charlie.
Charlie reported, "Ms. Danielle has been feeling unwell and delayed the shooting schedule."
