JERANN: Why Do You Think You Were Uninvited?

JERANN: I Believe I Was Removed Because I Asked Questions Others Were Afraid To Ask.

Such As?

Questions Of Transparency. Of Authenticity.

Of Whether Miss Jeevik’s Entire “Brand” Is Built On A Foundation Of Manufactured Shifting Glitter Sands

That Sounds Vague

It Has To Be. For Legal Reasons

Some Have Suggested You Were Disinvited For Being “Difficult”

That’s Funny. They Call It “Difficult” When You Ask Questions They Can’t Answer.

Do You Think Maybe You’re Being Overly Dramatic? Self-Absorbed?

That’s A Lazy Critique. I Simply Happen To Be The Only One Brave Enough To Use Myself As A Case Study

Are You Planning To Attend The Party Anyway?

I Would Never Crash A Private Event.

Unless It Becomes Necessary For The Public Interest.

Did You Threaten To Publish Her Secret?

Did I Threaten To Publish Miss Jeevik’s Secret?

Absolutely Not.

I Promised To Publish It.

Because That’s What Integrity Means.

You Don’t Sit On A Story Just Because It Makes Someone Uncomfortable.

She Said I Was “Overstepping”

I Said I Was Upholding The Inviolable Values Of The Alternian Empire

She Said I Was “Ruining The Vibe”

I Said The Vibe Was Already Rotten

And Then...

Readers, You Know The Rest.

You Don’t Have To Be An Intrepid Investigative Journalist To See What’s Going On Here, Though I Am

When The Press Gets Pushed Out, It’s Because There’s Something To Hide.

But Don’t Worry. I Won’t Let This Go. I Never Do

Miss Jeevik Should Be Advised That I Gave Her A Chance To Come Clean On Her Own. To Confess And Face The Consequences With Dignity

But That Chance Is Gone. There Is No Stopping This Trackbound Freight Transporter Now

In Three Nights We Begin With The First Name On The List.

A Pair Of Names, In Fact

Someone You’ve Seen Smiling Beside Cridea Since Last Sweep

And Someone Who’s Been Very, Suspiciously Quiet About The Allegations.

Tick Tock, Miss Jeevik...

The Party Approaches.

And The Truth Is Coming With It.

Final Question. What Would You Say To Cridea Right Now, If She’s Reading This?

I’d Say: Happy Wriggling Day. And Watch This Space.
