Many even went to Sasha's Twitter account to berate her.
"How could you endorse such trashy products? Have you stooped so low to make dirty money now? It's toomuch!"
"Disgusting! You're an A-list actress; it's appalling to see someone of your status endorsing such products formoney. What a disgrace!"
"I used to look up to you, even considering myself a fan. But now you've lost my respect. Artists with no integrityhave no place in showbiz! Bye."
"Yeah, leave the industry! A subpar artist like you doesn't deserve societal benefits or the admiration of others!"
Initially, Sasha's fans attempted to shield her from the onslaught.
"The issue lies with Startales' product. Sasha was unaware of any potential problems. Her company is activelycommunicating with Startales. If there's any update, they will keep everyone updated."
"Yes, Sasha isn't irresponsible. I'm sure she'll explain everything to us."

Internet users were out of control and refused to listen. Their verbal attacks targeting Sasha became increasinglyoffensive.
"I heard she pocketed a fortune for this endorsement. Doesn't she feel guilty taking that money?"
"I'm wondering, why would a celebrity of her caliber endorse an unknown brand? Oh, it turns out to be a heftypaycheck!"
"She grew up in the countryside; is that why she's scared of poverty and takes any money thrown at her? I thoughtshe remained humble after becoming successful, but has she become so blinded by money that she's lost herroots?"
"Has she lost her mind due to her greed? How could such a trashy person qualify to be a celebrity?"
Some even took it to the extreme, cursing and insulting Sasha's family.
When they did this, they opened a can of worms.
Sasha's fanbase, which was relatively restrained, rose to her defense, getting into heated arguments with internetusers.
The already tumultuous situation further intensified the public's negative opinions about Startales. Many peopledemanded Startales publicly disclose their product ingredients.
Katy, observing the situation online, was incensed with this demand.
"These people are acting like rabid dogs, attacking indiscriminately! They're not even using their brains andmaking unreasonable demands!"
Neera was upset. She knitted her brows deeply.
Amidst the turmoil, a realization dawned on her.
Someone was deliberately manipulating public sentiment, aiming to tarnish Startales' reputation.
As for the claims of allergic reactions, the authenticity of such claims was yet to be confirmed.
The situation was deteriorating rapidly. If this continues, Startales's reputation might be totally ruined. Shecouldn't remain passive and do nothing about this.
With determination filling her eyes, Neera prepared to counteract the situation.
