"Shameless tramp! If she hadn't crawled into his bed herself, Young Mr. Gilbert would never have looked twice at a nobody like her!"
"Victoria is the one who actually matches him. Too bad this scheming woman got there first. Hope Clyde kicks her to the curb!"
…
I ignored all of it and gave the camera a composed smile.
"Hi, everyone. I'm Deidre Morton."
"I'm here today to publicly address some of the recent rumors circulating about me online."
First line of the script: admit the videos were real, say I was young and didn't know better.
I looked at that line on the teleprompter. Held on it for half a beat.
Then I lifted my head, slow and deliberate, and looked straight at Clyde.
"Every single story you've heard about me recently is a lie."
"Clyde Gilbert planned all of it. And right now, I'm going to show you the proof."
