“Next up on our segment of StarShocked…you know her, you all
love her. Our special guest today and
your favorite media personality, Savannah Davis!”
I inhale deeply and exhale with just as much force. My
publicist Juan said this was the best way to curb
the rumors. In his words ‘You have to show the public that
wonderful news anchor they fell in love with
initially.’
I would rather show them what my middle finger looks like,
but then I might as well kiss my job
goodbye.
“That’s your cue Miss Savannah,” one of the production crew
urges me forward. Bracing myself, I step
onto the stage, raising my hand in a fake princess wave to
cover my eyes from the glaring light; my
practiced smile turns on as I walk towards Brittani.
Brittani Hayward is the host of the BeTalks and whom I’ve
known for eight years. We were co-hosts on
the Morning Tea, but the show got canceled, and Brittani was
let go while I became the main anchor on
KBLE - a multinational news channel and the leading media
platform in New York. Brittani has held a
grudge against me ever since then.
Fortunately, we have never had to cross paths, and I made
sure to stay out of her radar. But one vicious
rumor later and Juan’s anxious ass sends me straight into her
net to ‘get right with the streets.’ He feels
her show is the best way to stop people from talking since
she has the right influence and audience to
shift the public’s opinion. It’s supposed to be an easy win,
but I’m pretty sure Brittani has other plans.
This thorn of a rumor is about me having an affair with my
boss Liam Walsh, the CEO of KBLE Media. It
started a week ago and has gotten worse. The media buzz
alleges that I had an affair with him when he
was still married to his recently divorced wife and now
people are questioning if my position as news
anchor was earned or gifted.
It’s all bull, but when it comes to my line of work, the
public’s opinion matters. BeTalks is a chance for
me to break my silence and lay the rumor to rest once and for
all, yet I wish it was on a more unbiased
pathway.
She welcomes me with a large grin full of pearly whites and
glossy lips, a smile that has all the signs of
viciousness and malintent. The first image that comes to mind
is the Cheshire Cat. I involuntarily gulp.
“Brittani, I’m so happy to be here,” my false smile grows
wider. We hug before she leads me to the seats
and takes the couch opposite me as I take mine.
“Of course,” she says before turning to the audience, “You
guys may know this, but Savannah and I go
way back,” she tells them before turning to me, “Isn’t that
right Savannah?”
“Oh yeah, our glorious Morning Tea days,” I reply to her even
though that is not what we should discuss.
Brittani laughs a little too loudly, “Ah the memories, you
were so ambitious and driven then it was
almost scary. Look at us now, both successful anchors of our
talk shows.”
“I’m a news anchor on KBLE news, not a talk show,” I tell her
and watch with satisfaction the slight slip
in her smile.
“Right. So, girlfriend,” she leans in, and I instinctively
lean back, “How has it been?”
“Should we really be catching up on live television?” I ask
her, my smile still in place and she laughs
loudly again. What the hell is this?!
“You are right, you are right. We will catch up later over a bottle
of chilled Chardonnay, like the ol’
days,” the audience laughs along with her, “Well then, let’s
just cut to the chase. StarShocked rules are
simple, the audience gets to ask you questions, any question
no matter how shocking and you have to
answer them no matter what within eleven seconds. No holds
barred. Are you ready?”
Hell no.
“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I respond.
She claps, and the audience follows suit, “Let’s get
started…”
The first few questions are basic like what my skincare routine
is like, my preferred diet, and which
female celebrity I would agree to a one-night stand with.
“Okay so my question is about the current buzz about you,”
the man holds the microphone and stares
straight at me. The entire room seems to hold their breath
suddenly as he nails the elephant in the
room, “Are the rumors true? Did you have an affair with Liam
Walsh?”
I feel Brittani’s spiteful eyes on me, and I sit up straight.
This is what I planned for, I rehearsed for this.
It’s going to be a walk in the park. Hold your head up, you
got this Savannah.
