You couldn’t even swallow your satisfaction and apologize to followers as soon as… Your followers even gave you a number of possibilities to make amends properly, however you ignored each single one. And now you say what?! LMAO.”

When your followers had been mentally breaking down, they created refuge threads, calmly saying ‘It’ll be okay,’ serving to everybody maintain on. However your dad actually mocked them in entrance of everybody, saying, ‘Isn’t it bizarre for followers to come back to the marriage?’ You and your dad had been each members on Snowdrop, so that you knew precisely how followers had been reacting. It was not anger, however devastation. You shouldn’t have performed that. You continue to shouldn’t act like this. I have by no means stanned an idol as a lot as I stanned you.
