    Fantastic, good for her. Glad she didn’t let the needless cruelty tossed at her get her down.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    The ‘Meth Lab Oompa Loompa Lady,’ whose real name is Kirsty Paterson, has been through a lot over the past week, but even she wasn’t ready for the latest twist in her story.

    After being forced to learn an AI-generated script for a disastrous Willy Wonka-themed event in Scotland and facing hordes of hate on X/Twitter, Paterson got a message from someone she never expected: Chrissy Teigen.

    The 30-year-old actress from Glasgow saw her life turned upside down by the failed “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” event in the city last month, which was promoted with fantastical AI-generated images of lollipop forests and jellybean waterfalls.

    Instead of the “place where chocolate dreams become reality,” parents and their children encountered a dirty and gutted factory with a couple of plastic candy canes and other props sparsely thrown about the bare concrete floor.

    The situation didn’t improve the day of the event, Paterson recalled, and organizers eventually told actors to abandon the script and just let the guests walk through the venue.

    As of Tuesday morning, one of the most popular comments was a question on whether Paterson would do a Cameo collab with The Unknown, an evil and creepy-looking character at the event who also went viral.
