From Sneers to Cheers: Anthea’s Ascent

Chapter 192

[I’m a hardcore Becca fan, or at least I was. I always thought she was the real deal, a host with solid values. But today? Total letdown.]

[As a former Becca maven, I owe an apology to Ann and her fans.]

[Can’t Becca handle losing or what?]

[Suddenly realizing Becca’s not all that! Was I blind? How could I have ever stanned someone like that?]

The cheating scandal was Becca’s doing. And who called Ann a freak? Becca’s crew! Ann took so much flak and smear, anyone else might’ve crumbled. You haven’t felt Ann’s pain, so what right do you have to tell her to be kind? This
