"She deserves the BIGGEST apology from everyone"— Fans react to Manon Bannerman's edurance story in Netflix's Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE

The documentary series Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE premiered on Netflix on August 21, 2024, drawing attention to Manon Bannerman's endurance story. Viewers were captivated by her talent, stunning looks, impressive singing, and humble attitude. Manon joined the group many months after the training process had started; hence, she was missing skills, as indicated by the training team.

As the episodes unfolded, other concerns regarding Manon surfaced. For instance, she arrived late to the class. Upon witnessing this, the program manager, Missy, had the impression that she made an erroneous decision by including Manon in the group due to her unfavorable demeanor. More such instances were seen throughout the show, which seemed harsh and unjust to Manon.

Therefore, fans and viewers of the Pop Star Academy: KATSEYE flooded the internet with support for Manon Bannerman.

“Manon handled all that happened to her with absolute grace and it just makes her shine even more as an individual. She deserves the BIGGEST apology from everyone #popstaracademy,” wrote the user.

Many other responses from the X users were recorded online.

“Manon u r an it girl, Thanks for manifesting being the group and not giving up," another fan commented.

“this is why Manon is the IT GIRL factor because she gets it," stated another X user.

“Honestly, in spite of everything, I love the way Manon gives herself grace along with the girls who disliked her. She took responsibility for her actions and didn't hate on anyone in return. No matter what anyone says, she's got a heart of gold," another viewer said, showing support for Manon.

A number of fans expressed their solidarity with Manon and said that the other girls in the group attempted to disregard Manon's endeavors.

“No longer will speak on this but when Pokenons pointed out that Manon is mistreated, yall told them they're attention-seeking. Now there's evidence of it, yall saying they doing too much and are encouraging solo stan behavior. I wonder what Manon did to yall," stated another fan on X.

“in all these clips i see complaints about Manon not putting in effort but never that she wasn’t good enough. i think they were jealous that she could keep up with (seemingly) less effort & since it’s such a high pressure environment their jealously turned to dislike," commented a viewer.

“I’ll ride for my girl manon, they’re just mad because she’s pretty and talented," stated another X user.
