"Well, well, well... Seems like my international connections have found themselves some interesting things over the pond. Let's all take a read of this email together, shall we? Seems like Eric Sanders might find this one a little interesting."

veronica barda spotted with two men while autumn manchester plays full-time mommy in london
someone may want to remind veronica barda that eric sanders is the one filming a james bond movie because lately she appears determined to audition for the role of international woman of mystery herself. while eric works long days on the highly anticipated bond production in london, veronica has allegedly found a very different way to occupy her time: dating her way through the film crew. and no, that does not appear to be an exaggeration.
veronica has now been photographed getting extremely comfortable with two different men believed to be connected to the production. the first late-night outing ended beside a parked car, where she and mystery man number one appeared to share a kiss with all the discretion of people who had completely forgotten paparazzi existed. rookie mistake.
then came mystery man number two. veronica was later spotted wrapped around another man during what looked like an especially intimate evening out. he brought the champagne. she brought the full-body embrace. together, they brought absolutely no concern for subtlety. a single mother going on dates would hardly be scandalous on its own. the issue is not that veronica is enjoying london’s nightlife. the issue is who appears to be taking care of her daughter while she does it.
enter autumn manchester.
yes, eric’s current girlfriend has reportedly become vivienne’s primary caregiver throughout the london shoot while veronica explores her options behind the scenes and possibly in front of them too. paparazzi have photographed autumn spending quiet, affectionate days with vivienne away from the set. the two have been seen relaxing together at the beach and wandering through a field of flowers, with vivienne appearing perfectly comfortable in autumn’s arms.
the pictures could almost be mistaken for a mother-daughter outing except autumn is not her mother. she is simply the woman who appears to be doing the job. according to whispers surrounding the london production, autumn has been caring for vivienne nearly full-time while eric films. meanwhile, veronica has reportedly been difficult to pin down unless the plans involve cocktails, champagne, or another handsome member of the crew.
how very bond of her.
sources say autumn has handled everything from meals and bedtime to keeping vivienne entertained during eric’s demanding shooting schedule. she has apparently stepped into the role without complaint, making sure the little girl feels settled while the adults around her navigate their increasingly messy romantic lives.
veronica, on the other hand, seems far more interested in becoming familiar with the production staff. very familiar. to be clear, no one is suggesting a mother cannot date, have fun, or enjoy a night away from her child. but when one night becomes several, the men start multiplying, and your ex’s girlfriend is the one creating memories with your daughter, people are going to ask questions.
chief among them: does veronica even realize autumn is quietly replacing her? because while veronica is busy collecting phone numbers, autumn is collecting flower petals with vivienne. while veronica is clinging to crew members, vivienne is clinging to autumn and while veronica appears determined to make the most of london after dark, autumn is making sure her daughter is cared for when the sun comes up.
"Oooooh, here's were it get's truly good... the evidence! Good for Autumn, honestly, Motherhood kinda looks good on her, not going to lie. At least it seems like Eric left the trash behind."
photo one: veronica and mystery man number one share a heated late-night moment beside a car. nothing says “casual” quite like being caught mid-kiss.
photo two: veronica throws herself into the arms of mystery man number two while he carries champagne. perhaps the crew benefits package is better than we realized.
photo three: autumn spends a peaceful beach day with vivienne while veronica is nowhere to be seen.
photo four: autumn carries vivienne through a field of flowers, looking less like dad’s girlfriend and more like the only mother currently on duty.
