what makes me annoyed about this discussion is that people actually believe that any snsd member had power to kick Jessica (Taeyeon got sm hate wtf)
but use your brain than you know that none of them have this power
I feel like its so sad how obvious the reason was company related so can we stop draggin the members be ot8 or Jessica? cmon now I do have my own personal opinions like I am sure Yoona, Sunny and Yuri are more close to Jessica but wth i even have as pure evidence? Maybe Tiffany too but what do I know nobody knows the exact reason neither who is who best friends or have bad blood
can we just at least be a little realistic? I am not saying omg everyone were such bffs no one ever did anything wrong ever boo because thats ridiculous but the company is the one who makes the call
the only reason people think they had the power is specifically because jessica said their ultimatum and their changing their minds on her business is what led sm to force her out. its not something we magically weaved together to throw hate at them. its something jessica said herself and we believe her. the fact of the matter is if this weren't true, jessica would not have said it. all it did was split the fandom and make the bigger half of that fandom hate her forever. who chooses that on a lie? obviously there's truth to it.
i think you have to ask yourself why if what sm is saying is true did they not wait until after tokyo dome to force her out? tokyo dome was the main event at the time. it was the culmination of all their hard work for the past several years and they only had about 3 other group activities until then. if jessica's business is what led sm to bench her for the 930 fanmeeting, then why was she allowed to attend kcon with the girls? and why were they still pushing that she'd be working on her business while the other girls worked on solos and subunits at the same time? if the problem was her priorities for snsd after her last album, then why would tokyo dome and the months after 930 be a problem, as there were only 4 group activities and she'd be available for each one (seeing as in actuality her entire schedule was wiped apart from one event that would've put her in the same city as smtown)?
she launched her business in august but she was still an active member in august. its not until september things went south, and that's what jessica said happened, that the girls came together and told her to choose because she couldn't do both. and then the same day she got permission from sm to do both, is the day sm released that they'd all re-signed and reiterated the main narrative that they'd been spreading--that the girls would do both solo and group work.
so i'd argue that the only reason she was kicked out in september is because she spoke out on 930. and the only reason she spoke out on 930 is because the girls told her not to come to the fanmeeting. sm chose then to bench jessica indefinitely. and in this situation, sm is going to side with 8 people over jessica. that doesn't mean the 8 of them are just in the right. the fact that there's so much confusion as to what happened to this day should tell you that the full truth doesn't just make jessica look bad, it makes them all look bad. and to this day, jessica still wants to set the record straight, despite being blocked by sm and facing these consequences for 7 years now. she has a lot to lose but she still wants the truth out there. i think that speaks volumes. shes not someone that just doesn't have anything to lose and wants to take ppl down with her. shes someone who wants her name cleared.
