But the clickbait accounts and troublemakers hadn't disappeared entirely.
At 9 a.m., a well-known emotional gossip account on Twitter posted a new update.
A single image.
Captioned:
"The power of money."
The photo was a screenshot of a backstage message:
"Hello, I'm Mr. Alexander's secretary. Your actions have infringed on Mr. Alexander's legal rights. Please provide a contact so we can discuss removing the post before the situation escalates."
The wording was formal.
Measured.
But in the hands of the public—
It became something else entirely.
Proof.
Or what they chose to believe was proof.
The post spread quickly.
And with it—
A new wave of mockery.
Comments flooded in, sharper than before:
"So this is how the rich silence people?"
"Caught red-handed and now threatening others?"
"Money really can bury anything, huh?"
Alicia's name resurfaced once again.
Dragged through the noise.
Distorted.
Reframed.
But this time—
It didn't rise the same way.
