Lila

Blaze Matthews SHOCKS in New Tell-All about Lila

By Perez Adder

The music world was rocked when Lila Wilde surprise-dropped her newest single, “Goodbye, Good Riddance,” about her long-time muse, Blaze Matthews. The lyrics are devastating, accusing him of falling for someone and lying to her for years about it. She accuses him of cheating on her in her own house.

Many eyes have been watching for her rare public appearances, or at the very least, an interview about the shocking song, but she’s stayed busy on her new album, which should come out any day now . . .

But today, we finally heard from someone involved. A representative for Blaze reached out to clarify a few things.

“Obviously, this isn’t the full story. Blaze was faithful in his dedication to her from day one, but Lila began to grow complacent and found comfort in other places. He supported her when she went to Nashville to work on her new album and even encouraged it. This single is like a betrayal of the worst kind. She’s probably there now, focused on her new, shiny muse while Blaze has been trying to get over her.”

There you have it. Lila has been in NASHVILLE of all places, the country music capital of the world. Is she about to go country? I don’t think it would suit her . . .

Potstirrer: Not surprised. Women always cheat.

JuliusSneezer: But like . . . did she cheat? God, there’s so much drama. This next album is gonna be LIT.

RealLilaFan247: There is no way. Blaze is such a liar!

HairyPoppins: I need new pics of her. Where is she?

I’d figured out that Malia was not the kind of agent to call me. Unlike the barrage that I was used to from Mia, she handled things silently. So when I saw her name flash across Lila’s phone, my heart skipped a beat, and rightfully so.

“Lila, are you in Nashville right now?”

“I am,” I said. “Why?”

“Blaze’s team released a statement and they mentioned where you might be.”

My heart stopped. “He didn’t.”

“He, unfortunately, did. He also mentioned some other things, but that’s the only important thing. I wouldn’t recommend reading it. You might want to lie low. I’ve heard that paps are coming out of the woodwork to find you.”

“Damn it,” I muttered.

“I’m sorry. We’ll handle it and make him look like the idiot he is. Tell Juno she can call someone from our bodyguard services if she needs backup.”

“Should I come back to LA? I know I have a lot of work to do.”

“Right now, you should just disappear for a bit, and that’s almost impossible to do here.”

“But I have work to be done.”

“We can shift it to be virtual. Find a place to relax while I deal with this.”

“Do I need to do anything else?”

“No, I’ve got it. You focus on your work.”

I was still adjusting to the way Malia handled things. Mia would have thrown me to the wolves or told me to bask in the attention.

“I will,” I said slowly. “Thank you, Malia. Seriously, thank you.”
