TORONTO, ON - It's been a wild ride here in NITRO to start this new television campaign ever since Eva Adams hit Devin Reyes little sister Yareli with a baseball during the last edition of Team ICE during this fall season. Now we had more drama take place after one of last weekend's premier WFL matchups between the Quebec Nordiques and Milwaukee Millers over on NBC got emotional as Bridget Satterlee picked off Nordiques QB Vika Bronova for a game winning touchdown to seal that game up. The problem during this affair is that Bridget Satterlee along with Nancy Nery was getting into it all game with the Quebec Nordiques offensive players around Vika. Vika herself got into it with Bridget a number of times in this game. The unique thing about this drama is that Bridget and Vika were both on the same Team ICE hockey team as Bridget played defense in front of Vika who played goaltender on the team so they were literally teammates and studiomates not that long ago. The question begs how could these two girls who work for the same studio and play on the same team get into such a bitter developing beef?
We do know this both girls were labeled under problem children before they were drafted ahead of this season. Both girls were scouted as super talented prospects and competed against each other in the very first season of the New Girls in Town Pageant as both girls finished among the top 15 candidates. Bridget herself finished 4th in the competition and Vika finished 13th in the competition as Lorenea Rape who represented Miss Ontario would go onto be crowned as the program's first ever winner. Bridget was said to be depressed after that loss and spiraled out of control and things got much worse when her best friend growing up Gia Jolie in the city of Chicago took the advice of her famous auntie Angelina Jolie to separate herself from Bridget so she can focus on the upcoming draft and her NITRO career. Bridget was sad at the way she lost her best friend out of seemingly nowhere and Bridget started doing all types of things since 2014 in between now here in September 2018.
Bridget's life has spiraled out of controlled as she got into drinking massive amounts of alcohol, stealing, fighting, and physically assaulting people. All of this resulted in Bridget getting arrested a total of 9 times during this period of time between June 2014 and August 2018. Four of those arrests were the result of DUI arrests and her worst crime was actually committing assault & battery on Angelina Jolie back in 2017. Bridget actually received a pretty hard sentence for that crime as she spent almost a whole year in the juvenile detention correction facility and she was released earlier this summer where she was able to start concentrating on the draft as she hasn't been arrested for anything else ever since.
Bridget Satterlee became one of the biggest examples of a problem child going into this draft and for that reason most General Managers in NITRO wanted to stay away from her. RTN management was the most critical of Bridget and they were NITRO's Chicago studio at the time and wasn't interested in drafting this particular Chicago kid so they took Gia Jolie over her. If RTN were around today they would be regretting the way they scouted Bridget today as she has already turned into one of NITRO's top stars to start this new season as people love her struggle story as she is very relatable. ROD's staff led by Lucy Hale didn't want to take a chance on a ticking timebomb so when RTN went defunct just a few days after the start of the season they picked up her now nemesis Gia Jolie right away. NBC's Selena Gomez was not interested in taking Bridget that high in the draft as they didn't want to deal with the issues she had. The one studio that believed in her was ICE as new GM Frankie Beckham who tookover for his mentor Penn Badgley after the 2013 season was just interested in stacking talent this season so the studio and their television network could compete towards the top for many years to come. Frankie and Jessica Lowndes along with new CEO Paige Van Buren made the decision collectively to take Bridget in the 2nd round after another problem child in one half of the terrible twins Jesalyn Moe. Jessica wanted to punish Bridget for her behavior and Frankie didn't want the studio to have their first pick be such a flight risk like Bridget was leading up to this draft. Jessica was very disappointed in Bridget as she actually communicated with Bridget since the pageant and needed to punish her.
The thing about Bridget Satterlee that separated her from the other picks of the draft was that she was probably one of the most talented all-around players coming into NITRO this season she had all of the intangibles that Patrick Devine saw back in Allison Shields almost 10 years ago. She is one hell of an athlete and this is something that Angelina Jolie vouched for before Bridget started screwing up as she could see Bridget being a top-tier action movie star or leading lady in a television drama. Obviously Bridget is one very good player in sports as well but she is a very skilled fighter like Maxie Justice. She is also a very good skillful musician as people have described her as a new version of Stevie Nicks from Fleetwood Mac or Janis Joplin with her raspy voice. She's a rocker chick so she's really skilled in multiple instruments mainly guitar so she's going to be very valuable in the NITRO Music Competitions that's scheduled to start later this season. Bridget was supposed to had been originally apart of The Carpenters Hour competition for her music skills but she wanted to audition with Gia when the pageant auditions hit Chicago back on Saturday September 28th, 2013. Being in the pageant gave Frankie a better glimpse of what she could do in the other important areas to be one of the best NITRO entertainers that's why Vegas Showgirls was also made so they could see what all of these draft picks could do.
Despite being this special and this talented the problem with Bridget has always been her bad attitude problem as she's hard to work with as ICE Chairman Marie Avgeropoulos called her a free spirit she just likes to do her own things and not follow the rules. Marie says she reminds her a lot of herself when she was younger and Marie herself has been dealing with issues of her own as she struck her boyfriend at the time back in early August and was arrested for it. She went to court last Monday for it and the case was dismissed and she doesn't have to do any time behind bars. Marie hasn't had a lot of time to help ICE prepare for the new season with a new CEO but she does say ICE is in a bad situation right now because the staff doesn't have a real good handle on the young actresses and the combination of their high school studio falling apart. ICE Co-Owner Lori Loughlin is now involved in a cheating scandal with her daughters which could blow up towards the end of the winter. Marie says we all have to grow up fast and mature before things really get bad at ICE and we have half the roster in prison doing time. Paige Van Buren herself is not too far removed from her own crimes.
NITRO Analyst Hub Arkush out of Chicago says ICE is falling apart at the seems because of the way they've been structured. He says losing Jessica Lowndes is really hurting them because she hid all of the bad things that happened behind the scenes. It's hard to trust a 19-year old teenager like Paige Van Buren to clean things up this fast. They're going to struggle for a while but the one good thing about ICE right now is that they have strong leadership from their main owner AnnaLynne McCord and she will keep things from getting too out of hand with upper management and they have a very mature Frankie Beckham who understands how to handle problem children as he's very strict and has already said that if the rookies aren't careful he'll handle them his way.
Another bright spot is that one of the official ICE Starlets leaders Alexandra Chando the studio's disciplinarian who's been documented in the popular ICE Starlets Hell Week TV movies every season as leading with an iron fist. Alexandra hasn't been very visible too much this season as she's been very busy with a slew of different projects all of which are out of town and not in Toronto but Alexandra says she'll sit down with all of the rookies and Bridget herself when she returns to the studio for a few days later in the fall.
A long-term solution might be Natalie Ceretti who is already looking like the studio's undisputed top future leader of the ICE Starlets as she's already been a calming voice for that roster as she broke up a number of fights during training camp and has tried to calm down the actresses this week with these beefs. She can be very beneficial to Bridget as she spends so much time with her everyday as she's currently Bridget's teammate on the Milwaukee Millers. Natalie's leadership skills can help Bridget in the future be the leader of the Starlets when she matures. The problem for a rookie like Natalie is that she might be the leader of the rookies but when it comes to the ICE Starlets as a whole that job belongs to Megan May Williams and Megan could be the sole reason why things are gonna get worse before they ever get better for ICE.
Right now Bridget actually lives with Natalie and her other two Millers teammates Nancy Nery and Jelena Mariucci in a Toronto apartment so those four girls are very close to each other right now. They all say they feel safe with Bridget and she's not a ticking time bomb at home as she's usually laid back. None of the four girls are at home that much since they're always busy working so when they do see each other they try to salivate it because of how rare it is to have all four of them free and available at the same time. Sometimes the girls spend the night at the other girls on the roster's homes too specifically the Shields sisters penthouse who used to be Allison's penthouse since they always have the girls come over and talk as ICE Starlets After Dark is usually taped there.
Megan May Williams is a very negative person with a bad attitude problem and she's been described as a brutal bully. NBC Universal let her ass go last season after drafting her in 2013 because of Megan's attitude and her threat to fight and kill her new boss that season Selena Gomez and Co-Owner Simon Cowell. Simon was not about to put up with it so he traded her to ICE similar to the way he did Paige Van Buren. The main difference between Megan and Paige is that Paige has changed a lot as a person and matured because she started hanging around Jessica Lowndes ever since she got there.
Megan is super brutal and she would be gone from ICE already if it wasn't for Paige who sees a lot of herself in Megan but the problem is Megan is actually older than Paige and still hasn't changed. If Jessica was still the boss then Megan would be out of there already because Jessica didn't get along with Megan when she was there as Jessica felt like Megan was a really bad influence on the younger girls on the roster. Megan always rolls deep and bullies people she's also bullied the regular students at the high school and doing physical harm on them and some suspect she's raped quite a few of them as well. We reported a story earlier in the season where a local Toronto parent at the high school reported that her daughter was stabbed by Megan but nobody took action so she's setting up a lawsuit against East York Secondary Academy, Toronto District School Board, and The ICE Phederation themselves for allowing it to happen on school grounds.
Freshman Friday back on September 7th of this month was notorious and got way out of hand because of the way Megan set it up. Freshman got the usual pennies and batteries thrown at them after the school day was over but Megan took it a step further and set it up as hazing forcing some of the students into some painful situations. NBC rookie Madison Beer was the main guest that day as she was thinking about signing with ICE and never returning back to Paris but after she seen some of the shit that took place that day, Madison changed her mind and said it was better to stay with NBC. Madison says she scared shitless of the dangerous activity and was mainly scared of Megan because everybody else seemed afraid of her. Madison said Megan May Williams more than anyone in the studio scared her shitless.
Megan is said to be a gang leader at the school and runs 70/30 split on the school's drug operations behind the scenes. Megan's power as a NITRO star makes it hard to take her down and since Paige won't discipline Megan she'll continue to terrorize the children at the school and the younger members of the ICE Starlets roster. Megan is more than a bully she's an unstoppable force and nobody becomes an official ICE Starlet until they go through her. The staff at the school like the teachers and cops have grown to hate Megan because she's a disruptive force at the school as she constantly interrupts classroom sessions by coming in with her army and taking over. One student says she's constantly in her Spanish class interrupting the teacher. When Megan isn't working or practicing with her WFL team the London Invasion who she's teammates with Farah Holt from Teen Angels on she's usually interrupting somebody's class. Another studio says they actually witnessed Megan beating up their auto shop class instructor and trying to saw off the hand because the teacher wouldn't let Megan get her way without a stand against her.
Megan has been described as a real-life Janit O'Day in the way she runs the entire school like her and Kelly Coyle who's famously played by AnnaLynne McCord. AnnaLynne herself stated that Megan may takeover the lead role from her when she's ready to step aside.
Bridget for the most part has said she respects Megan and hasn't really had a problem with Megan since training camp. She says they did get into that first week of training camp but she says things have gone smoothly ever since then between them. Megan also has equal respect for Bridget because she likes how tough she is and how she got through her jail sentence like a champ and survived it. Megan never had plans on picking on Bridget because she already had respect for her but the problem was that Bridget's attitude problem got in the way as she did want to listen to Megan and that's how those two got into it but they settled it down pretty quickly after that so it's pretty scary to know that Bridget and Megan are on the same page.
Bridget says in a way she looks up to Megan because of how she has command of the Starlets and the high school. Bridget has started to patrol the halls the last couple of weeks bullying kids in the hallway and Natalie doesn't like how Bridget does shit like that to the students. Since Bridget is a full spirit she says she doesn't really work for Megan and help her sell drugs and other illegal goods like that because she's still on probation until the end of the school year in June and she's not trying to violate parole. The fear is that Bridget will be just like Megan eventually because she's picking up on her habits very quickly.
Former problem child and 2010 draft pick Lenny Marks who's now got an executive role in the studio is known to the Starlets girls as an older brother figure in the studio and he says that Megan is wild and unpredictable but he says Bridget is very gentle and a pretty cool person and he says a lot of this negativity bought on by the media is all bad hype as he hasn't encountered a bad moment with Bridget but has been disappointed with the way she's been beefing with Vika Bronova and Dasha Dereviankina this week.
All these little problems is one of the main reasons why veterans actresses like Linsey Godfrey is trying to leave ICE because they're sick of the violence that goes on everyday and how safe they don't feel going there. NBC's Shane Tovar declined an invitation from the studio's President Molly Ephraim to be a personal guest on her hit sketch comedy Molly in South Philly this Friday night opting to stay close to home and be Lucy Hale's guest on their rival sketch comedy series over on ROD.
Which brings us finally to Jake T. Austin who was going to be Molly's personal guest on next Friday's show on October 5th but the problem has been that Jake doesn't feel safe just like everybody going to Toronto especially after he's received a series of threatening letters since 2016 and they've started coming back after a few months of quietness and he believes he knows who sent them. Jake showed his letters on his social medias to the public and his bosses for help as the letters lately have threatened him not to come to Toronto to be on Molly's show or he would be jumped or even worse killed.
Jake has been working with NBC for a while now as he has a close relationship with his boss from his pre-NITRO days on the Disney Channel original series Wizards of Waverly Place from when he was a little kid.
Now Tracy Kimmell revealed that she had a source inside of the studio and that was later revealed to be Gia Jolie who knows Bridget's handwriting really well and says it matches her handwriting as she kept a letter from the past that matched the exact same handwriting that Bridget has so a lot of people are assuming that Bridget is the one who wrote the letter although it hasn't been confirmed by Bridget herself or anybody from ICE to be true.
Molly says she's doing a full scale investigation with Paige Van Buren to see if Bridget actually wrote the letter but there's some people that believe ICE knows it was Bridget or someone Bridget knows and they just don't want to reveal to the public and the media that it was her who wrote it. Jake's ex-castmate Maia Mitchell from The Fosters says that Jake is a very paranoid person and she doesn't believe Bridget wrote the letters but she feels he's a wimp for being scared to come to Toronto and that she would kick his ass if he came anyways.
Now the question is if Bridget did write it, why did she threaten Jake? Also, another big question that has to be asked is if Bridget knew Jake before?
The rumor out there is that Bridget did know Jake from the past and something serious may have happened that would expose Bridget and those people involved in a bad way and Bridget is trying to keep Jake tight lipped about it. Jake has never confirmed and neither has Bridget that they've crossed paths in between 2014-2017 at some point leading up to Bridget's start of her jail sentence in the fall of 2017 last year.
More information will come out in due time but the assumption right now is that Bridget and Jake have known each other from the past. In the meantime it doesn't look like Jake is going to Toronto anytime soon until this gets resolved.
