“Game Changer” author Rachel Reid is unbothered by the early critics of the “Heated Rivalry‘s” upcoming second season.

On Friday, it was revealed that Justice Smith and Charlie Gillespie are joining the Season 2 cast of “Heated Rivalry.” Then, later that same day, Reid took to her Instagram story to seemingly dismiss the online chatter about the latest casting news.

“Thinking about all the people last summer who told me the casting for Ilya and Shane was wrong and bad…” Reid wrote on her Instagram Story with a side-eyed selfie.
