Jennifer can't get away from her phone

Jennifer knew she needed to do something, but she couldn’t help but keep scrolling. Her name was everywhere and the humiliation on social media didn’t end. Someone had tweeted at Wonderbra: Hey @Wonderbra, have you ever thought of signing Jennifer Brigand as your spokeswoman?

Jennifer gaped at the thought of being the spokeswoman for Wonderbra, the idea was very nearly her worst nightmare. Wonderbra apparently wasn’t too keen on the idea either. Their reply had over a hundred thousand likes. "Wonderbra is a terrific way to accentuate the goods...but there needs to at least be some goods to accentuate, we’re not miracle workers."

Reading that nearly made Jennifer throw her phone, but it just kept buzzing with new notifications. A twitter post was blowing up. "I know body shaming is wrong, but I REALLY enjoyed seeing Gretchen humiliated last night #sorrynotsorry"

The post had over a million likes and half as many retweets. The comments were overwhelmingly supportive. Jennifer couldn’t believe it, how could these people be so cruel! Making fun of her appearance like this, everyone knew body shaming was 100% wrong, yet there were thousands of people saying it was OK! Where were the social justice warriors to defend her?!?

She was still scrolling through the replies when her phone began to ring. It was her agent, Frank. As she picked up he began to talk about how great the ratings were for the opening night and how the show was getting a lot of positive buzz.

“Positive buzz?! I’m getting eviscerated on social media!” Jennifer shouted.

“Hey, any press is good press, am I right? The point is, the studio is really pleased with the reception of the pilot and they want to pick up the series for a 13 episode run, and they emphasized that they’re open to a multiple season deal.”

Jennifer paused. She’d been out of work for so long, locking down a full season like this would be an incredible opportunity to revive her career. For a moment she almost forgot the humiliation she’d suffered. “Fine, but I don’t want to do any more nudity.”

Frank grunted. “That’s not going to fly, you unfortunately already have that in your contract. Besides, everyone’s already seen, what difference does it make at this point?”

There was a sick sort of sense to what he said, but that didn’t stop Jennifer from cursing him out. Still, he was resolute. “There’s no backing out of this without significant financial losses for you, Jennifer. I’d advise you not to fight them on this.”

Without any real choice, Jennifer relented. She would figure out some way to save her reputation. She was thinking about a path forward and barely heard the rest of what Frank was saying. “...so they’re planning some rewrites, based on current feedback…” Jennifer was lost in thought and the next thing she knew Frank was saying his goodbyes.

Almost immediately her phone rang again. It was her Aunt Sally, she was one of those religious types who had never approved of her career in Hollywood. Jennifer groaned and ignored it but a minute later it was dinging notifying her of a new voicemail. Reluctantly, Jennifer hit play.

"Jennifer! How could you! I am so upset, we thought Gretchen’s World was going to be a nice wholesome show like Brianna’s World was, why didn’t you warn us?! I got the whole family together to watch the premiere, all your aunts and uncles, grandparents and...oh dear me, all the little ones too! Everyone saw you show off your...little titties!! Why would you go parading around like that? Little Suzy’s been running around all night shouting that she’s bigger than her Aunt Jenn. If you could hear the teasing, you’d just die, I’m sure! Aren’t you embarrassed? Don’t you feel any shame? Is that what -."

Jennifer hung up, unable to listen to her Aunt berate her any further. She had deliberately tried not to tell anyone about the premier date. Her whole family had seen her naked, even all her little nieces and nephews. Was little Suzy really already more developed than she was? A fresh new wave of humiliation washed over Jennifer as she threw her phone across the room.
