The red carpet at the film festival turned into a scandal when I was accused of getting a little too cozy with a hot young star. All I did was fix his suit button during a photo op and lean my head on his shoulder! Later that night, his rumored girlfriend posted: "The entertainment industry is too forgiving. If this happened to a regular person, it would be a police matter!"
Honey, if the cops could arrest me for this, I’d be doing life. That “hot young star” is my son, Ethan. I raised him, changed his diapers, the whole nine yards. I can ruffle his feathers all I want!
That night, I was the biggest winner. Bloggers went wild. They edited together a clip of my finger accidentally poking Ethan’s stomach with his annoyed, can’t-do-anything-about-it face. The internet exploded, accusing me of everything short of robbing a bank.
"Zombie actress trying to steal the spotlight."
"Couldn’t make it on her own so she’s using her son for clout."
"Ethan usually ignores everyone, must be something in it for him."
"He’s totally dating that rising star, Chloe Miller. They’re getting engaged."
That last comment set off a wildfire. Netizens swarmed Chloe's social media, spamming her posts with: "What do you think about this, Chloe?"

"This esteemed veteran is a role model for young actors. We urge the industry and fans to be less narrow-minded, stop spreading rumors, and show more tolerance and less judgment."
Five minutes later, Chloe jumped on the bandwagon. "The entertainment industry is too forgiving. If this happened to a regular person, it would be a police matter!"
The official statement had been released. Why was Chloe doubling down? Savvy netizens connected the dots: Ethan had been rumored to be leaving his current agency, facing a massive penalty. They continued to fan the flames. "The studio is protecting the old hag! Chloe, spill the tea!"
Multiple hashtags trended. The internet held its breath, waiting for Chloe’s response. She dragged it out for another 24 hours, gaining millions of followers. Finally, she posted a dramatic still from "Young Detective Miller," Ethan looking intensely into her eyes. "Reinforcements are on the way. I’m bringing Detective Miller home."
Home? Ethan practically owned the entire agency! What home was he talking ab...
