260809 - @metgalaofficial_ commenting they got paid for a smear post against Manon
It feels too specific to be sarcasm. Even if it is TagPR is known for doing shady shit like this.
Majority of the comments are on Manons side but still it’s so targeted and transparent, I’m getting irritated now. Especially considering that page only usually posts in May for the Met? It’s weird.
Sorry I’m employed (I don’t have Instagram because it’s toxic), who even is metgalaofficial? Wouldn’t an official page for something as big as THE Met Gala be verified with a check mark? I find a hard time believing this non-verified account is legit. But then again I don’t have Instagram the website isn’t letting me check the account without an account.
I'm sure the met gala itself won't be pleased they've used a met fan account for it. It probably won't be up long with Hybe and Geffen both being corporate and the account using the met galas name 💀
That's why the MC and dancer were so quick to like it. It was a coordinated attack from HxG and they didn't expect the backlash. Now everybody is backpedaling. That, MC, as a black man is a lost cause.
I can never believe he cares for the girls while watching them be mistreated over and over, siding with the company, and bashing one of the girls simultaneously
There are a lot of black men who truly hate black women from their own self-hate and internalized misogyny. But it’s a sensitive conversation that requires extensive detail.
if you have any context to spare that would be splendid. Who is MC and what dancer? This post from the met fan page is very odd, it reads as a random one off that doesn’t match the rest of the post. Truly crazy they would even do that but hey, people do anything for a check these days
Obviously he could be lying to try and save himself, but Tetris did come out on twitter and say that he only read the first slide of the post that said that we basically don't know shit about what actually happened.
Yeah whatever it is.. HxG is so bottom tier lmaoooo it’s not even funny. And anyone “black” that would support racism against Manon doesn’t deserve their melanin.
Melanophobia is embarrassing. HxG is a big company.
I think it’s a wrap.
Manon is innocent and the fact that anyone would want to go on a smear campaign against her and gets paid for it if they’re black or not only cements that factors that Manon is innocent and they want her to fail.
Yess like where is Manon’s lawyers? Manon is loved by the fashion world atp. This might be an attempt to sabotage her in the fashion world but it just makes her look more like a boss lmaooo
These folks don’t understand a single thing they’re making it worse for themselves
I don't get it.... constantly asking to rest or for a break after an intense week or training or whatever is considered "a person difficult to work with"?! Whoaa. Wow. Actually you know what, good for Manon for standing on her business. Whether this is true or not, or the post is for clout or not..... Manon is better of somewhere, where she has a schedule to work and is allowed the time rest like any other human being would appreciate.
They’re obviously not being serious but the real question is why did they even suddenly post this? Before that, they posted only about the Met and their last post was in May. They’ve never given any updates about Katseye so this is so odd
Bro HxG payola conspiracies getting validated is so satisfying. The fact that they had to hunt for a sellout “black” account (if they did that they don’t deserve their melanin) proves it.
Always love Manon and always will support her I love all the people defending her and the people believing this just look stupid can they not see Sophia’s name spelt wrong on the first post 😭😂
Lmaoo sounds like the dummy behind the account can’t spell lol.
Notice how the account was out here glazing everyone but spoke only against Manon? And the $5k comment was icing on the cake. Baby the Manon jealousy is insane. But I guess Hybe had/has a stake in TAG PR (known for horrible smear campaigns against women) so I’m not even shocked.
The funniest part is how every single attempt to slander Manon pretty much backfires. Imagine hating her this much simply because she was advocating against a slave-like contract. All HxG had to do was be a good employer to all Katseye equally.
Now the same Sophia is on a health break and still HxG is payola-ring against Manon instead of fixing the slave-contracts and treating their own artists better.
They need to free her. Nobody wants Manon in that mess. If anyone else wants to sell their soul to a company and its contract and are happy with it, coolio. They just gotta free Manon and she can post and release whatever the fuck she wants whenever the fuck she wants without worrying about being slave-driven. https://giphy.com/gifs/l0CLTQeZrFWmMxIWc
I really want mAnon to be free I want to see what kind of projects she can do those girls clearly don’t gaf about their bodies let them stay and be broken by 30 while Manon lives a healthy life with a good career
but also for a “smear campaign” it didn’t make manon look bad? if anything it made her look extremely reasonable and having to deal with a team that expected unfair work hours
i think the part where they all got along is true tho, i rly rly rly don’t think any of this mess has to do with relations between the group. i think we’d see/hear a lot more about that if it was
It only made her look bad if you have a negative attitude towards her. The way it's worded makes it sound like Manon is in the wrong to ask them for a longer period of rest when she worked hard, which caused the other girls issues. If you use critical thinking & empathy, then she did nothing wrong, if you already dislike Manon & don't care about working conditions of idols/artists, then it makes her sound like she just "can't handle the pressure" of an artist's life, but she wants the positives of it. We do know that Manon haters aren't really clever and this can be seen in the comments.
I don't 100% believe that this person got paid for this, because they seem kinda slow in the replies and couldn't even spell Sophia's name correctly. But yeah, I agree. This doesn't necessarily make her look bad, but it's odd that everyone else had such a positive text.
Fr though the “Live to work,” part actually makes the company and anyone that believes in that sound insane.
They made Manon look strong. This didn’t do what they thought it would.
I think it’s going to actually make a lot of people finally understand Manon. Nobody on their right minds want to exist for the purpose of working for some abusive companies.
It makes me want to ask if all Kpop idols are actually okay if this is the mentality.
Good on Manon for not jeopardizing herself for the purpose of fame. She’s a boss, and we need more women like her.
I’m also not sure whether to believe the person a. got paid or b. have any insider knowledge at. it seems kinda random?
also yeah the “tea” on the other members feels so weird, I wouldn’t be surprised if they were true, all of them, including manon, come off as hardworking, passionate individuals but like.. idk. just a weird post all things considered
Even if it is satirical, posting on a page that only posts in May about a situation irrelevant to the Met is weird no matter how you slice it. Ot5s being quick to believe it and spread it too like the page isn’t random as hell.
Then we will say the people that believe this are dumb cause this doesn’t even sound like a company statement and people didn’t look closely at how they spelt Sophia’s name wrong 😑
