Is Manon Leaving KATSEYE? The Drama Explained

1 tim 7 min•13 april 2026

Om avsnittet

In this episode, Chris and Chantel Nicole break down the full Manon Bannerman situation from the beginning: the hiatus announcement, the theories, the leaked storyboard and dance rehearsal footage, the Deuxmoi report, the Zane Lowe interview, the Missy Paramo unfollow, and everything in between. We cover all four theories including the racial mistreatment conversation, the contractual obligations allegations, and the public support pivot. Then we review "Pinky Up," KATSEYE's first release without Manon, and react to their Coachella debut, including the accidental "Wild" project leak and the moment that broke the internet: Manon in the crowd.
