Part 3/9:
Despite the overwhelmingly negative reception, Mindy Kaling, the show's creator, initially promoted Velma with enthusiasm. In January 2023, she expressed excitement about the show’s debut, suggesting she was confident in the project. However, her public stance seemed to shift quickly once the reception turned negative. She deleted promotional Tweets, perhaps out of embarrassment or frustration, and her social media activity around the series faded into obscurity. Notably, she also deleted her account for the series altogether.
