Despite being on hiatus, Manon appeared during the first weekend of Coachella, but was spotted in the crowd rather than performing with KATSEYE.

On the second weekend, following KATSEYE’s performance, Manon sparked more controversy after another appearance, but this time on stage. Yet again, rather than with the members, she was seen on stage with PinkPantheress.

While some fans loved that Manon was living her Coachella dream, some hit back at the behavior, claiming it was embarrassing as KATSEYE was performing as a main act at the event, but she had to come up as a “backup” dancer. Some hit back at her ethic, linking back to her actions before joining the group, and some thought it was a way to keep the spotlight and sympathy on herself.
