At the beginning of 2007, an episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! stirred up quite a bit of controversy.
Comedian Andy Dick harassed Ivanka Trump on the show, and Charles Capet directly kicked him in front of the studio audience.
The host then called security to drag Andy Dick away. After the show, reporters from all corners swarmed for information.
Ivanka may not have been a big draw at that time, but who was Charles Capet? Only the rising young Hollywood movie tycoon of the era.
Soon, newspapers carried detailed reports, and a powerful PR team dug up Andy Dick's background thoroughly.
"Don't worry, what you did qualifies as acting bravely for a just cause. The LAPD should give you an award," Evelyn Capet said, smiling at Charles, who was seated on the sofa.
"Andy Dick has a record. He was investigated by the police in 2004 for molesting women, not to mention previous charges for drug possession. Ivanka also said she plans to sue him. He won't escape this time!"
Charles laughed, "So many witnesses. Are they going to charge me with assault?"
"You're usually so composed. Aren't you worried people might see you as a hotheaded youth?" Evelyn glanced at her son. "By the way, is Ivanka pretty?"
"She's okay," Charles replied, looking at his mother in disbelief, "This switchup!"
"Where's your Britney Spears and Megan Fox?" Evelyn didn't know how to put her son in his place as he hadn't announced any formal girlfriend.
"Ivanka isn't bad. Her family is in real estate, and she's not in the entertainment business. Why not consider her?"
Charles widened his eyes, "Mom, do you want me to get married? I'm only 25, still young!"
Afterward, Charles left, and Camille, now a licensed lawyer, joined his private team.
Camille had been interning at a law firm introduced by Evelyn and now became part of the Capet Entertainment legal advisory team.
Dona Williams frequently traveled to New York and overseas with Lily Ying, while Phyllis Jones focused on film and television entertainment. Amelia Caldwell had become Charles' personal life manager.
Another stewardess, Odette Annabel, was arranged by Charles to film Gossip Girl.
"Still too soft," Charles said with regret as he sat in his business car.
Camille, dressed in a professional woman's suit with her golden hair in a ponytail and wearing delicate glasses, smiled, "This time, Andy Dick will definitely end up in jail unless Ivanka doesn't press charges."
"Ignore Ivanka for now. Since it happened on a talk show, let's find past victims to testify against Andy Dick," Charles said, putting his arm around Camille. "This kind of Hollywood behavior shouldn't be encouraged!"
"We're on it. Andy Dick has already publicly apologized. It seems being targeted by American moguls is truly terrifying," Camille said, giving Charles a peck on the cheek. "Now you're my boss too, so I have to listen to you!"
Charles smiled and patted Camille, "You're my spokesperson now. Find some time to brief the media on the case's progress. I'll make sure Ivanka presses charges. That way, we can save other women too."
As the situation escalated, Ivanka seriously stated in an interview with the Los Angeles Times, "Andy Dick's actions were completely immoral and disrespectful to women, unforgivable."
She turned the harassment incident into a feminist cause. Though Andy Dick, as a comedian, had some influence, there was still a huge obstacle - Charles, who stated in an interview with Variety, "Hollywood does not welcome people who disrespect women. Capet Entertainment will never work with such individuals."
With Charles Capet's current status, saying such things essentially ended Andy Dick's career.
A minor comedian couldn't cause much trouble.
Simultaneously, Charles' spokesperson, Camille, told the media, "Ivanka is a good friend of Mr. Charles Capet. When your friend is being sexually harassed, can you just stand by?
I don't think so. Mr. Charles Capet, as a responsible entrepreneur, philanthropist, and a man, kicked to stop the harassment of his female friend. This is something everyone should learn!"
The Hollywood Reporter: "Is Charles dating Ivanka?"
Camille shook her head, "No comment!"
The New York Times: "Why were Charles and Ivanka attending Jimmy Kimmel Live! together?"
Camille smiled, "As I said, Mr. Charles Capet and Miss Ivanka became friends in New York. Mr. Capet was attending Mr. Trump's Walk of Fame ceremony, and they decided to attend the talk show the next day."
In Beverly Hills, at the Capet estate, Charles was lounging on the sofa, chatting on the phone, with the sexy Ivanka leaning on him.
"Did you find the victims and convince them?" Charles asked as he playfully touched Ivanka through her open robe.
"Make a move, or else he won't stay in jail for long," Charles said, hanging up and looking at Ivanka.
"The previous victims of Andy Dick agreed to testify against him. This guy is definitely going to stay in jail for a few years!"
"Charles, Andy Dick is really unlucky!" Ivanka said, smirking.
"Well," Charles gave her a tongue kiss and said, "No choice, he dared to touch your thigh in front of me!"
Then Charles enjoyed touching Ivanka's long legs himself.
"Alright, I'll reward you. That kick was really impressive and manly," Ivanka said, giving Charles a kiss and blowing in his ear, "Let me give you a good time!"
Soon, Charles was enjoying Ivanka's reward. At that moment, Charles thought that kick was definitely worth it!
