A negative reinforcement has been established against Divek/ their PR as perpetrators behind NB8 official page on insta after Monaya uploaded videos regarding it. Monaya's video has sparked off a serious rumour against Divek who've been denounced for targeting & maligning Monaya's image.
Some background
- There was a page-NB8 official on insta. The content of the posts aroused revulsion and were unsavoury to say the least. The videos:

-Next day Sanaya uploaded another video:

I don't understand why Monaya sparked an allegation' against Divek.
Why did people jump the gun and branded Divek's moral character as deplorable?
Because logically:
-Sanaya clearly said - sorry we can't take names. Hence it's not an established fact that Divek are responsible for the vile NB8 page.
- If she could not take names why did she insinuate that Divek were behind the page?
And if she didn't think it was Divek, then in her next video where she requested fans to not bash
anyone she should've also clarified that- guys I am not talking about Divek. Because by then the allegation had blown up & Divek were being ripped apart on social media.
-If she really wanted her fans to not bash anyone. Then why didn't she refrain from making the insinuation about Divek in the first place? She is a smart girl, I am very sure she knew that the suggestive remarks she was making by saying- grow up, we know who you are, sadly we don't have a PR- that her fans WILL bash Divek. So the video she uploaded next day acting saintly and saying she "just wanted to clarify is all bullshit. Damage control at best.
The fact that Monaya didn't take Divek's name outrightly in the first video, and next day didn't clarify that they were not talking about Divek after seeing the backlash, gives off suspicious vibes to me.
Now coming to the actual allegation.
-The account is now private, so impossible to check it was created. IDT it' possible that Monaya's fans took so long to pick up on it and inform them.
-It is a grave in nature. There are no facts or actual evidence to prove Divek or their PR made that page. In fact, no one knew such a page existed until Monaya made those videos.
- The content of the page was such that it maligned both the channel & Monaya's image. The responsible step was to let the channel look into the matter. It was irresponsible on Monaya's part to jump the gun and make videos. If their allegation is true then a defamation case can be filed against Divek. Some matters are borderline legal, and should not be handled amateurishly by going on a random rant.
-It was possible for Monaya to clarify that the rumours are false and say the channel is looking into the matter leaving the implication- We know who you are- out of it.
Aftermath:
People are blaming Divek for attacking Monaya. But it only makes Monaya look like a victim to Divek's attacks. It didn't affect Monaya's image because no one knew about the IG page until Monaya pointed it out, there were no articles about them being contracted winners.
The timing of Monaya's videos was horrible; it's possible that it hampered Divek's chances of winning during the voting period. IMHO, the best way was to let the channel handle it. In case, the claim is false, then Divek can slam a case against Monaya for making phony insinuations.
Divek are OTT, are dramatic, annoying, their PR is aggressive but it is wrong to accuse them of such malice until it is a proven fact. This was the gravest allegation against a contestant during NB8 not child's play. This particular case is beyond any fan war, it is a legal and sensitive matter being turned into a celebration. There is no honor in glorifying Monaya as fighters against politics. They didn't take Divek's name. It was a cowardly move to frame Divek ambiguously, knowing very well that their fans will go into frenzy & attack Divek.
P.S. Divek had articles written about them throughout the show about them being contracted winners, about Divyanka threatening the channel. Their fan pages were taken down by opposing fans etc.
