16: Manon Proved Katseye Doesn't Have Members. It Has Replaceable Girls.

Manon didn't just leave Katseye. She exposed the system every
girl group runs on and it's been running since Destiny's Child.
Every girl group has one. The member who doesn't quite fit the
mould. The one the label didn't bet on. The one who gets
quietly moved to the edge until leaving feels like her
idea.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the five archetypes that
every girl group needs to function — and why one of them is
always built to be sacrificed. We're going from Destiny's Child
and TLC to Little Mix, Fifth Harmony, and Katseye — and what
every single one of these groups has in common is the same
story playing out in different costumes.

The "sisterhood" you're sold at the press junket is a marketing
tool. The reality is a cast, not a family. Manon Bannerman's
departure from Katseye isn't a drama. It's a pattern. And once
you see it, you can't unsee it.
