People still talked about the murder in Paradise, even tough Ethan and Ashton had released their statement and clear their involvement from that case. It is understandable as the event is still trending on the news. Until another hot topic comes out, people won't stop discussing it anytime soon.
This news more or less still affected their company stock market. This is the first time Ashton was involved in this kind of scandal on a personal level. Some stockholders who were envious of him were taking this chance to suppress Ashton, but Ashton wasn't that someone who was easily bullied, he handled them like a piece of cake.
In the case of Ethan, he was facing the same problem, but he had shown his capability by handling the backlash that the company received regarding Paradise safety issues for their patron.
