The news on the TV shifted, now showing Victor's statement addressing the uproar caused by his fans. His manager, Roy, had posted the statement on Victor's behalf:
"My dear fans, I know you love me and want the best for me. But I ask that you trust me and my judgment, just as you have always done. The decision to launch and promote this new product was made by me because I see the potential in this company and its offerings.
You want me to endorse already established brands, but I want to support something that has the potential to grow. I, too, once needed help, and there was someone who pulled me out of the darkness and gave my life a new direction. I want to do the same for others. This new company is going to be the next brand you'll all want to try, and I believe that once the product is launched, you'll understand my choice.
