00:24Revelations
00:26Are you okay?
00:28Eric asked Emma after they entered the television station's headquarters.
00:32She nodded and gave her husband a slight smile, trying her best to reassure him in the future.
00:39We have to deal with things like this head on.
00:42We can't wait for rumors to just die down.
00:46Eric said his tone serious.
00:49What had just happened was a wake up call for them both.
00:52You're absolutely right.
00:55This can't happen again, Emma replied.
00:58Once inside the studio, Emma sat down in the guest seat opposite the host, Diane Lafton,
01:04an entertainment journalist who was well respected in her corner of the industry.
01:09Eric was stood behind the scenes, ready to observe the entire broadcast.
01:14Emma's fans in the audience were holding up handmade signs with her name on them.
01:19Aside from demonstrating how important Emma was to Kaleidoscope, Eric's presence meant
01:25that everyone was extra polite to his star.
01:28His reputation preceded him.
01:31They knew that he wouldn't allow anyone to mistreat one of his most prized actors.
01:36A few minutes after Emma sat down, the director gave the host the signal that the cameras
01:40were rolling.
01:42She immediately sat up straight and a dazzling smile magically appeared on her face.
01:47Working with the stars aired during prime time and had a loyal and established audience,
01:52which included a lot of film buffs with Emma as the guest.
01:57The ratings were already far surpassing other shows in the same time slot in August last
02:01year.
02:02Our guest tonight announced her comeback and wowed us all on the catwalk with her innate
02:07grace and style.
02:09To no one's surprise, she received the Special Contribution Award at the annual Model Awards
02:15Ceremony.
02:16The host stated every step of her return to the fashion world was punctuated with difficulties.
02:22Yet, she managed to navigate through these obstacles with the finesse that we've come
02:28to expect from her.
02:30However, just as she was one step away from becoming an international supermodel, she
02:36made the shocking decision to leave modeling behind and become an actress, bringing that
02:41same work ethic she had on the catwalk to her new line of work.
02:46She's also having immense success in the movie theaters.
02:50Ladies and gentlemen, would you please welcome Emma Miller?
02:54As the crowd erupted into rapturous applause, Emma considered Diane's words.
03:00She's clearly done her homework, she thought.
03:03After the applause died down, the host turned her attention back to her guest and asked,
03:09so I suppose the question we all have is, do you prefer acting or modeling?
03:14Well, Emma replied, I'm not sure you can properly compare the two careers.
03:20Sure, there are definite similarities.
03:23Both professions aim to please an audience, but they're also so different that I can't
03:27really say that I can't really say that I prefer one over the other.
03:32I do, however, enjoy the challenges that acting presents.
03:38Everyone knows that you filmed three films back to back this year, Diane said.
03:43The last two have been particularly successful.
03:46Do any of the characters you've played stand out as your favorite?
03:50Diane responded, it's difficult to choose one because I've been so lucky with my roles,
03:56but I really enjoyed playing the actress in Stupid.
04:00I'm a huge fan of the screenwriter.
04:02Wasn't the writer on that movie?
04:04Anonymous though.
04:06Does that mean you know who it is?
04:09The host latched on to this point and was eager to get the scoop.
04:13Are you going to give us an exclusive here and reveal the screenwriter's identity?
04:19Emma glanced over at Eric in a way that suggested she might not be able to hold on to that particular
04:24secret for much longer.
04:26He simply looked back and gave her a shrug.
04:30It's my call, she realized.
04:33His name will appear in the credits of future films.
04:37Emma said with a coy smile, but you are welcome to guess.
04:41Ripples of discussion made their way through the audience, particularly among Emma's fans.
04:47For a moment, even the host fell into deep thought as she mulled over who was capable
04:53of writing such a well-crafted piece of work.
04:57But she was stumped.
04:59Stupid didn't seem to match the style of any of the screenwriters who were currently in
05:03the United States.
05:05In the end, the host gave up guessing.
05:08Can't you just put us out of our misery and tell us?
05:12It's really not that difficult to guess who I'm talking about, Emma said.
05:16She again looked toward Eric, following her gaze.
05:20Some of her fans in the audience finally came to a realization and began yelling, I can't
05:26believe it.
05:27It's Eric Roberts, isn't it?
05:30Diane raised her eyebrows in genuine surprise.
05:33Is it really him?
05:35Emma looked at the host and then back at the audience, then nodded.
05:39This is big news, the host gasped.
05:43Who would have thought that the CEO of Kaleidoscope could also moonlight as a screenwriter?
05:48Seriously, the screenplay for Stupid was so good.
05:52I know it's one of the reasons I'm such a fan of his, Emma responded, looking like the
05:57cat who swallowed the canary.
06:00She was so proud of Eric and wanted the whole world to know that her husband was capable
06:05of anything with the revelation of Stupid Screenwriter.
06:08The atmosphere in the recording studio was bubbling with excitement.
06:12However, as the interview was being broadcast, so-called evidence of Emma's duplicity was
06:18being revealed online in the form of a photo of her meeting with the A-list director.
06:24The slightly grainy photo seemed to have been pulled from the hotel surveillance system,
06:29but the shot made it clear that Emma was enjoying her chat with the well-known director.
06:33The internet was soon abuzz with accusations that she was abandoning her artistic integrity
06:38for mainstream money, that she was bound to be starring exclusively in Hollywood blockbusters
06:43from now on, and that her whole persona was phony.
06:47Of course, these kinds of discussions within celebrity fandoms were relatively commonplace,
06:53as famous names naturally attracted attention.
06:57What made this situation so unusual was how readily other celebrities joined the chorus
07:03of criticism and their readiness to drag Emma's name through the mud.
07:08This was a big deal.
07:09The film industry was just as much about networking as it was about talent.
07:15If other major names in this world would turn their back on someone, they were liable to
07:20fall off the public radar and into the abyss.
07:25Emma was still in the middle of her interview, but some of the people working on the show
07:33were following what was unfolding online.
07:36As time went on, it was clear that a large number of celebrities were now claiming that
07:40Emma was a hypocrite for pretending to be committed to working on indie movies, when
07:45she was really chasing paychecks from mainstream blockbusters, wanting to turn the situation
07:50to her own advantage.
07:53Diane Loftin spoke with her director during one of the breaks about pushing their guests
07:58to talk about her next movie in the next section of the show.
08:02It immediately became clear to Emma that the host's smile was no longer as sincere as it
08:07had been before.
08:08I'll cut to the chase here, Diane said, shifting a little awkwardly in her chair.
08:15A lot of your fans want to know what you've got lined up for your next project.
08:19Some things happened, Emma realized.
08:22Having noted the change of tone in the interview, I do have something in the works, she responded.
08:30Can you tell us anything about it?
08:32What kind of role can your fans expect to see you take on next?
08:36The host pressed.
08:38Now it's my turn to cut to the chase, Emma stated with a level of bluntness that took
08:43the host aback.
08:46What you actually want to know is whether I've signed a contract with a certain director.
08:51There's no denying that there's lots of gossip, Diane replied, pressing on.
08:57It's your show, Emma said.
09:00You can ask whatever questions you want.
09:02I've already revealed that my husband wrote Stupid.
09:05Chances are if you ask me something, you'll get an answer.
09:09Seeing that Emma wasn't joking, the host took a moment to pause and glanced at her director
09:14for encouragement.
09:16The director nodded.
09:18Their ratings were already through the roof, and this was exactly what the viewers wanted
09:22to see.
09:23A tablet was quickly handed to Diane so she could stay up to speed with what was going
09:28on online.
09:30She had never done this to one of her guests before, so the opportunity to use this information
09:36to help quiz her guest was too hard to ignore.
09:39I can see here that there are dozens of celebrities claiming that you lied to hype yourself up
09:45as the next savior of the independent film market.
09:48The host gestured with the tablet to emphasize her point.
09:52What are your thoughts on that?
09:54What I want to know is what they're basing this on.
09:57Is it simply because I met with a particular director?
10:01Emma asked, with everything that's going on online.
10:05Wouldn't it be easier for you to just tell us what you plan to do next?
10:09The host countered, even though she could feel Eric stare on the back of her neck.
10:14Why don't we contact one of these other celebrities and see what's triggered them to make these
10:19remarks?
10:20Good idea, Emma said.
10:22Go right ahead.
10:25The director used his contacts to get a hold of one of the celebrities' phone numbers and
10:30made a call live in the studio.
10:32They were only brave enough to suggest something like this because their guest was apparently
10:37fine with it.
10:38She clearly had little to hide if she wasn't objecting to the situation.
10:43Eventually, someone answered the call.
10:46The host notified the person on the other end that she was in the middle of a live broadcast
10:51with Emma before trying to ask her question, but he hung up.
10:56Nobody in their right mind would speak up about this issue during a live show with millions
11:01of viewers, especially if they didn't want the abuse to be turned around on them.
11:07It didn't matter that other famous people had made the same comments.
11:12Sticking your head above the parapet usually meant you would get shot.
11:16Judging by the chanting that could be heard outside, the television station had quickly
11:21become surrounded by crowds with a lot of opinions on what Emma had allegedly done.
11:27Was any of this really necessary?
11:29Emma mused.
11:31She looked around the studio and finally settled her gaze on the host.
11:35Actually, I wanted to use my time on the show to announce an important decision that I've
11:41made as the program was live.
11:43Dozens of people were already jumping to conclusions on social media.
11:48They assumed that she was about to announce her new role in a Hollywood blockbuster, so
11:53they continued to accuse her of being a fraud.
11:56I know this decision isn't going to please everyone, particularly not my most loyal fans.
12:02Emma paused to look at the frantic faces of some of the teens who were holding up signs
12:06with her name on them.
12:09However, it's the right thing to do.
12:13I've decided to take a break from acting.
12:16Wait, what?
12:18Diane silently asked.
12:20This was the last thing I expected.
12:23The host wasn't the only one who was shocked.
12:26Those celebrities who had claimed to know what she was up to and had insulted her online
12:31had just gotten a wake-up call.
12:34They had expected her to come back at them, guns blazing with the full might of her husband's
12:39company behind her.
12:41Instead, she was simply taking a step back.
12:45Is this decision due to your disappointment in the industry?
12:51Diane asked, desperate to find out what was behind her guest's unexpected move.
12:56Not at all.
12:58I'm really satisfied with the three films I've just done.
13:02But now, it's time to step back and do something different.
13:07Emma smiled and looked over at Eric.
13:10All I hope now is that everybody who claimed they knew what I was going to do next and
13:15called me a sellout will take a long, hard look at themselves in the mirror.
13:21As soon as word spread about how Emma had dealt with the accusations, the collective
13:26shock became palpable.
13:29All sorts of excuses had been expected, but an extended break from acting was never in
13:33the cards.
13:35Most people believed that she was at the pinnacle of her career, so there was no way she would
13:40do something to jeopardize it now.
13:42What they didn't realize was that Emma always took the road less traveled.
13:47Thank you so much for watching.
