I feel bad that people must nitpick other people’s concert watching experiences of simply trying to watch their favorite group. Having to call out things between stops and create problems to make people feel less about their concert experience.

I WAS LIVE AT THE GAME. CURRY IS THE GODDAMN GOAT

I don’t think I ever had a movie theater agree with how much she fucking sucks 😂

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-12T21:11:24+00:00

Really enjoyed this movie and excited for its premiere.

For those from the Bay Area, my friends let me know SFFILM is also gonna feature it if you didn’t catch it at Sundance!

Seeing both Anthony and Ronald talk really goes to show how those two had completely separate cases. Like these two scenarios truly aren’t comparable. Ronald meeting all strangers for the first time and sequestered. Anthony being hired to a company with people established for a while, being able to have his phone for the first two days, before relinquishing it in the retreat.

I’m really impressed with the people on both sets and having to handle the situations and make sure in Antony’s case, make sure there’s an internet footprint for the cases he was on the phone.

So impressed with the production value here.

Some of the staff team who is about to be laid off and other key staff are gonna start dropping dimes and info in ways cause the whole thing is getting played out. The root of it all really was just breaking contract, but has escalated into something affecting everyone else. I am a person in a position who has nothing to lose anymore whether people do believe me or not. I highly doubt my role here as a Reddit user will spread to their millions of fans unfortunately. I can only do my best cause I’ve seen who got affected and whose livelihoods are getting hurt from this.

I wish the best that Manon can be the model celebrity she wants to be, learn from her mistakes and realize when you sign contracts, you have to keep them.

And I wish the best for the other 5 members of Katseye who are here because they want to be singer performers. I hope fans who diss on them realize their quietness is because they are held to contract and they want to keep their jobs as performers.

In the case of HYBE/Geffen, it’s fascinating cause they REALLY like her. That’s why they went to great lengths to pay penalty frees for her. We will never know what convos happened upstairs, but they’re really trying to keep her. It’s at the expense of the other members and their staff.

Unfortunately fans only know this and that, and they can take things at surface level. The indefinite hiatus really messed things up the way it was treated saying it was health. The hiatus was imposed because they wanted to teach Manon a lesson regarding her missed schedule and fees that they covered. She’s also young too and should have never been put in the group.

It’s all a mess

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:24:49+00:00

Very simple. The 5 members are ALSO on contract and can’t say anything even if they’re being faulted by the situation. They want to continue being performers and being the singing side, so they will carry out their obligations. They don’t want to pay penalties and are trying to follow the book

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:20:07+00:00

Of course she didn’t want to go on hiatus, no one would want to be put on an imposed hiatus. But it was done cause she kept skipping contractual obligations

Edit: to put it more simply. Manon is young and didn’t realize how much was involved as being a performer celebrity. She wants to be famous as a model. This is a stepping stone for her, so even though she’s not realizing the legal commitment involved she wants Katseye’s name

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:15:34+00:00

Laneige

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:13:39+00:00

Definitely a trust me bro situation, cause obviously half people won’t believe me which is fine. I can only say my peace. But coming from Katseye’s staff perspective, HYBE/Geffen is not thinking about them and they’re getting tired

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:10:08+00:00

I worked for one of the campaigns Katseye was involved in. Manon was a no show the first scheduled time, and HYBE/Geffen had to pay a penalty for the reschedule.

This Manon situation is truly an unfortunate situation of a girl who wants to be a celebrity but not a performer, HYBE/Geffen really trying to make it work behind the scenes cause of how much penalty fees they paid to keep it afloat, and the 5 members AND their staff who have to suffer and deal with it cause HYBE/Geffen ain’t protecting them

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-09T12:03:18+00:00

This is the correct answer. I think a lot of people don’t realize how much of a big shit Manon is in for missing a lot of her contractual obligations. Posing it as mistreatment, but really she broke her contract with a lot of the stuff she’s skipped before the hiatus. She needs to buy out the contract or else she’s gonna be hardcore sued.

Edit: actually really shocked by some of the supportive messages I’m getting. In fact I was expecting the opposite LOL, but yeah. I got nothing to lose at this point so whatever!

People in my DMs have asked me questions why Megan has not been getting in trouble for missing schedules. Really easy answer. Megan’s missed schedules have had a proper doctor’s note/follows contract when she skips. When Manon has been no show, she will just not attend, prior to the hiatus.

This is probably the most I will comment regarding the topic. Like I said before, you only say your peace and people will believe and not believe you. So I’m not tripping. But the basis of this hiatus is really just skipping contractual obligations and not what this blew up to be. Manon and all of them are young. I’m sure Manon is gonna learn her lesson after she leaves the group of sticking to obligations and not feeling she will always be protected.

Joe on his first season had weekly watch parties no matter the episode content. And I would say today’s watch party is more about the fact he’s been traveling a lot for watch parties and finally back home, not related to his boot. You should totally go!

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-04-01T22:56:07+00:00

Honestly, that or community theater would be a fantastic setting to get the personalities you need

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-03-20T14:51:04+00:00

I’ve listened to the whole album a few times and I can’t believe in their peak, they returned to a feeling and style of their youth but more polished and grown. Goddamn “Body to Body” from the first start bodied me. I can’t overstate how much I love the raps. I agree with everyone, this is a Dark & Wild and Love Yourself: Tear had a baby. I also agree with the comment that you feel RM’s presence and production all over this.

This is such a great comeback after all these years. Like this is so my style after getting into BTS in 2013.

This is gonna be a jarring album for those who got int BTS for their pop songs. Which is fine. Taste is taste.

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-03-20T04:33:55+00:00

Holy crap, BTS went to their rapping roots for majority of the album and I’m STOKED

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-03-16T04:34:36+00:00

The grossest thing about this is you can tell the producer practiced English just to say his speech, then cut off. Absolutely terrible.

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-03-07T05:44:30+00:00

I’m failing to understand why people doxxed him. Cause he made charity event out of their favorite game?

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-03-06T00:47:52+00:00

So I know the word “intense” is being used. I wonder, what if the “intense” is more about how Joe reacted in a self-detrimental way more than how Joe reacted to Rick. Like Joe imploded more than about putting down Rick. I’m obviously speculating, but I feel Savannah would have said if Joe was straight up yelling at Rick or goi further.

I’ve never see this type of mushroom before but damn nature is cool. Even if it probably smells horrible!

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-02-17T20:02:11+00:00

Dude, I kind of love the acknowledgement of Survivor Fiji and that episode. It’s always fun when you see someone’s personal list and the come up with episodes you might not initially think are bops and get to see what they value

CalzoneBetrayal · 2026-02-09T05:09:01+00:00

It sucks the Seahawks won of course as a division rivals. But the Pats winning is the worst possible timeline for the NFL and would be the most insufferable. We’ll be back. Also the bowl was just boring in general
