Versatile Superstar: Rise In Hollywood-Chapter 426: Truth unveiled
[Hey, I'm pretty sure a lot of you have questions about the alleged molestation case against me that Katie Brooks has made recently. I have already said in my statement that it's all a lie but I think I need to clear it up a bit more. So, ask away your questions about it.]
Such a tweet from Aiden at this point of time was enough to garner a lot of attention from everyone. People were rubbing their eyes wondering if it was even real.
Some people literally checked if it was Aiden's account or some fake account impersonating him.
Others were wondering what Aiden was thinking in his mind. He had tweeted it like he was going to do a normal Q/A. The tone from the message wasn't from someone who had just lost out on movies and brand deals.
Still, it was enough to pique people's interest.
After all, everyone had already heard Katie's story but they have not heard anything from Aiden's side. Just after 15 seconds of tweeting it, several questions were raised.
Aiden read through them and picked a very simple question and it was even from Skyneves, a fan he was aware of.
[Skyneves: Were you and Katie really in a relationship? Can you please clarify it?]
He quickly typed out an answer.
[Aiden: No, the simple answer is a no. We were good friends and had a good time filming together but there was nothing between us. Not even one awkward atmosphere between us. If you don't believe me, you can ask Leo, the director for [30 days of Happiness] and Omar, the producer. They will clarify that. Whatever is said about an alleged relationship is false. Early on in my career, I have avoided any type of relationship.]
When he said that, several other questions came up. Aiden replied to them one by one.
[Yer a simp, Harry: Do you have any way to prove that you never harassed her?]
[Aiden: I don't need to give a proof because it never happened. In the first place, Katie had not provided any account of what happened or where it happened or how it happened. She just said I harassed her and that she was in a toxic relationship. Don't you think she would know more than that and could talk about it a bit more? You can't ask me for proof when there's no proof that it ever happened.]
[Sugar Baby consultation manager: Do you think all of it is a plan to harm your reputation?]
[Aiden: I'm not here to make up conspiracy theories but let's say, I can at least say that this is a false allegation on me for someone's benefit. After all, when one falls, someone is going up. In the end, people are smart.]
[LeBronze James: A lot of women organisations and other people who have a moderate following had said rude things about you after the whole controversy broke out. What do you have to say about it?]
[Aiden: It hurts personally because I know I have not done anything wrong but those women organisations are just doing their job, protecting women's rights and I understand that but they should really get some proof first or else they are going after innocents. The same is with people who have been calling me a woman molester without even looking into the matter.]
Aiden answered every question one by one and in just a while, the whole session had gone viral. People have asked questions to him about Katie and what had transpired and he had just picked out loopholes in what she had mentioned.
It wasn't hard for him at all.
People weren't expecting him to do something like this. No one had faced people like this after such a controversy. They would all hide behind their lawyers and not speak out.
Doing this gave Aiden more credibility than anyone else. After all, there were people who were simply hating on him without even looking at what Katie had said. With this Sparrow session, he had dispelled all doubts from their mind.
He had shown courage in answering the questions and that made him seem more innocent in this.
But no one knew that this was just the start.

As the Aiden Sparrow session was going on, Katie was on a talk show, acting like a lead figure in speaking out against violences against women. The talk show was something that was wholly women oriented and it was already in the third season which meant that it was a hit with lots of viewers.
Actually, Katie was just speaking out lines that were given to her by her agent, a list of topics that she needs to talk about, so people think of her as someone elegant.
The show was going pretty normally with the same topics that Katie had already talked about in other shows. So, there was confidence in her answers.
In the first place, it wasn't like she had no charisma or something. She was picked up by Franco for a reason, so she was able to attract the attention of a lot of people by her way of speaking.
It was proving to be effective to her career.
But it was then that the host asked a question that she had no idea about. The question had come due to the Sparrow session that Aiden had held.
"Katie, as if we are talking, Aiden Silvereye is hosting a Q/A on Sparrow and he had talked about a few points that I'm pretty sure you would be happy to discuss right?"
"What?"
When the host asked that, Katie was stumped. A Q/A session on Sparrow? She wasn't aware of that at all.
The host has brought it out of nowhere. Actually, the host, a former TV actress, had just got the message from the producer who had told her to talk about it. After all, something like that would mean more publicity for the show.
It didn't matter if it was an unexpected question.
Katie looked at her agent who was standing backstage hearing that question but even her agent looked shocked and was sweating, having no clue about it.
"Can you tell me more about that?" She asked, trying to get a bit more information.
"Aiden just hosted a session on Sparrow talking about the whole controversy and he had claimed that you have not given a notable account of what had happened between you two, claiming that there are a lot of loopholes into it? Can you go into more detail when the harassment happened and how?"
Katie wasn't able to answer that suddenly.
She had never gone into details because until now, Franco had told her to keep everything a bit ambiguous.
"Well, it was a long time ago."
"But you remember it well, right?"
"Yes, it happened when we were promoting the movie. One night, we were in a mall and there was an argument. He had hit me then. I remember it well. I have tried to patch things up and be better but he has become more and more toxic... I broke up after that."
"Then, why did you come out with this? You could have come out after all this happened too?"
Another question that wasn't in the script. Again, Katie thought about it for a minute before she was able to answer.
"I tried to forget about it. Aiden was still a close person to me but those scars kept bothering me and in the end, I had to let it out."
She said and thankfully at that moment, her agent came forward to stop the interview to go ahead. The agent asked for a break and Katie was finally able to take a breather.

Sadly for Katie, her answers were recorded by the talk show team and released as promo videos for the show broadcast. The producer of the show didn't really care about SGA or Franco Li and just wanted good ratings as they had gone stale.
So, he acted quickly.
He knew that those promos would help out a lot in getting more interest in the next episode of the talk show. That's what actually happened.
As soon as the clips landed on the internet, chaos began literally.
A lot of people had become sceptical after Aiden's Sparrow session, so when those clips landed, they began to analyse them and tried to find out if it had actually gone on like what Katie had described.
With Aiden's luck, there was surely going to be someone who would find the lie in her words.
Soon, a reply under the clips had gone viral.
It was a reply with a photo attached.
Actually, the event that Katie described had happened. Aiden and her had gone to a theatre together for promotions and it was then that they had taken a selfie with one of the staff members.
And that staff had suddenly seen the post and chosen to talk about what she had seen that day.
