However, fans defended Jennie, pointing out that her behavior reflected her frustration with the situation, not prejudice. She was hounded for signatures by people who appeared to be resellers, evident from the stack of photocards that one of them tried to hand her to sign. Fortunately, Jennie’s manager caught it quickly and was able to handle the situation somewhat.
Context of what happened today.
These aren’t fans. they’re resellers who stalk her every time she’s in Paris. I’m glad she finally stood up for herself and told them directly to leave her alone. Artists are human too. they’re not tools for people to profit from. pic.twitter.com/gYaZiGlHO0

Jennie is too nice for my liking. This is the second time those resellers have done this to her.
Hopefully next time she will send them to hell. https://t.co/aAIADmIfrY pic.twitter.com/tJChd3CnM4
