Chapter 813: The Greatest Showman#1455 - Public opinion trend



An ambulance tore through the streets of Midtown, heading towards a private hospital on the Upper East Side. Its flashing lights and wailing sirens barely drew a second glance. In a city like New York, such occurrences were part of the daily backdrop—people too preoccupied with their own lives to pay attention to what seemed like just another emergency.

But on social media, the story of Renly Hall was erupting. Within the span of an hour, the internet was ablaze, transforming his name into the hottest trending topic.

Only after the ambulance had disappeared into the distance did people begin to piece things together—was that Renly? Had they just missed witnessing a critical moment? Regret settled in too late, and all that remained was the endless stream of traffic swallowing the scene.

Meanwhile, paparazzi stationed at the frontlines wasted no time in releasing their reports, each publication scrambling to spin the narrative their own way. What emerged was a fragmented, contradictory, and sensationalized depiction of events. The truth lay obscured beneath layers of speculation and conjecture.

"Renly Hall Under Fire Again: Was an Ambulance Really Necessary for a Minor Injury?"

The negative framing was unmistakable. The focus rested solely on the ambulance, with undertones of arrogance and entitlement. Whispers of "diva behavior" resurfaced, as the media sought to reinforce the public's existing impressions.

"Chaos on 57th Street: Renly Hall Causes Traffic Disruptions and Public Disturbances During Filming"

From another angle, the issue was no longer about Renly's personal well-being but the ripple effect of his presence. The story painted him as a magnet for disorder, implying his very existence caused inconvenience to the city.

"Interview Turmoil: Renly Hall Refuses to Engage, Escalates Conflict with Reporter"

This report, seemingly neutral at first glance, strategically omitted key details. There was no mention of the aggressive tactics used by the paparazzi, nor of Renly's actual condition. Instead, the focus was on the clash, fostering an image of hostility and secrecy.

Similarly, other headlines continued to skew perceptions:

"Ryan Gosling Threatens Violence; Paul Walker and Renly Hall Stand By in Silence—Hollywood's Alarming Decline in Professionalism"Key phrases were deliberately extracted from their context, casting actors as aggressors while omitting the provocations leading up to the moment.

"Renly Hall's Silence on Controversy Only Fuels Speculation"

A strategic maneuver—the absence of a response interpreted as guilt. Unrelated rumors involving Vin Diesel, Melissa Benoist, Universal Pictures, and Disney were lumped together, creating a tangled web of insinuation.

"Another Confrontation: Renly Hall Clashes with Reporter—Again"

A single word—again—was enough to suggest a recurring pattern, reinforcing the notion of habitual misconduct.

And so the headlines continued:

"Renly Hall's Arrogance Surfaces Post-EGOT Victory."

"Hollywood's Brightest Star Turning Dark? The Troubling Signs of Renly Hall's Decline."

"From Genius to Troublemaker: Has Renly Lost His Way?"

"The Fall Begins: Renly Hall Under Scrutiny."

"Ambulance or Publicity Stunt? The Questions Surrounding Renly Hall."

It was a media frenzy, a feeding ground for speculation. Every angle was exploited, every rumor amplified. The narrative was clear—Renly Hall was spiraling.

Society, ever cynical, embraced the notion without hesitation.

Hollywood had seen it all before. Young, talented actors who achieved meteoric success often followed a predictable trajectory: fame, excess, downfall.

Drew Barrymore. River Phoenix. Macaulay Culkin. Lindsay Lohan. Edward Furlong. Haley Joel Osment. The list was long and damning.

The logic was simple—no one escaped unscathed. The brighter the flame, the sooner it burned out. And now, they believed, it was Renly's turn.

Theories ran rampant:

"At 23, with an EGOT and a $20-million paycheck, of course he's lost himself."

"Who wouldn't feel invincible at his level? It's only natural."

"Another Hollywood ego run amok. Predictable."

"If I had EGOT status, I'd ignore the press too."

"Scandal was inevitable. Now we just wait for the real downfall."

Even those taking a more neutral stance carried an undertone of expectation—this was just the beginning. The cracks had appeared, and it was only a matter of time before the whole structure collapsed.

But then, the tide shifted.

Videos began surfacing—unedited, raw footage from bystanders. Clips uploaded by everyday people who had witnessed the incident firsthand. Though their reach was initially limited, it didn't take long for someone to stitch them together, creating a comprehensive narrative of what had truly transpired.

The creator wasn't a Renly supporter, nor a conspiracy theorist. They were just another content creator riding the wave of virality. But their compilation hit the internet like a sledgehammer.

And suddenly, the "truth" began to unravel.
