it’s not in this clip but when Missy said let her talk it felt so microaggressive I’m sorry like Manon was literally trying to defend herself https://t.co/QERtOrMLHW

Ohmygod I know their little gc without Manon didn’t stay silent for a second when the mission 1 rankings plummeted because this is insane??? I’m trying to figure out how they can be frustrated with her when it’s literally their fault for isolating her from the real thing… #academypopstar photo.twitter.com/He7UjrLDbw

KATSEYE fans are worried that the docuseries is setting the group up for sabotage, as it doesn’t paint everyone in a positive light. Some members, like Lara, have received hate since its premiere, and fans fear that it’s creating more solo stans than true fans.
@nugusended literally made some members look bad when it wasn’t necessary, as if we had the situation with Manon figured out. This will literally start fandom wars and pit the girls against each other and it will be a controversy they will never get over. #fyp #katseye #hybexgeffen #hybe #bts #kpop #manon #sophia #lara #yoonchae #megan #daniela #girlgroup #netflix

Their video has gone viral, with 2.3 million views as of this writing. KATSEYE fans have praised the group for not only addressing the feud rumors, but also for doing so with humor.
Even in the docuseries, Lara and Manon appeared close from the beginning. They have supported each other for so long that they were probably shocked by the accusations.
