what did daniela's dad say about manon
Daniela’s dad has been quoted making several controversial comments that many fans believe were directed at Manon and her hiatus from KATSEYE.
What he reportedly said about Manon
From news articles, fan recaps, and video breakdowns, the main comments attributed to Daniela’s father (Rafael Avanzini) are:
- Under a post/video about Manon’s hiatus/possible exit, he allegedly wrote:
- “THE SHOW MUST GO ON ! With or without a member . KATSEYE IS BIGGER THAN ONE GIRL.”
- In other screenshots and commentary videos, he is described as saying variations of:
- “KATSEYE can work as five.”
* “We need girls who do their job.”
* “Come back when you’re ready to work.”
These lines are why many fans say he “shaded” or “slammed” Manon rather than supporting her during a health-related hiatus.
How fans and media interpreted it
Many fans saw the “bigger than one girl” and “we need girls who can work” comments as:
- Minimizing Manon’s situation and framing her hiatus as a work-ethic issue rather than a health break.
- Suggesting the group is fine as five, which some read as indirectly endorsing a future without her.
- A public “jab” at Manon at a sensitive time, which triggered backlash toward both him and Daniela.
Online outlets and fan forums describe his remarks as “shocking,” “shading Manon,” or “attacking” her over the hiatus, which amplified the controversy around KATSEYE’s internal dynamics.
His follow‑up and attempts to clarify
Commentary videos and fan translations mention that, after backlash:
- He reportedly posted stories along the lines of “We miss Manon and wish her a speedy recovery and return,” trying to soften the blow.
- He then deactivated or froze his account after those clarifications also drew criticism.
- Screenshots circulating in fandom spaces show him saying he spoke with Daniela before commenting, which fueled claims that she might have been aware of his stance.
Some forum users argue he is just bad at expressing himself and hungry for attention, while others believe his words reveal deeper tension or bias toward Manon.
