Natalie and Victoria Vance were forced to issue a formal, written public retraction for their defamatory actions, facing a massive civil judgment that completely stripped them of the high-society circles they’d spent decades trying to exploit.

I didn’t launch a single public celebration. I didn’t post an indirect caption on social media. I didn’t grant a single interview to the press.
