I think the PR relationships in band, it being full break up, and negative view of band by all members is showing more by day, and more try to suggest otherwise.
Really topped off recently with the immediate switch from reassuring is last ever and fan response to it, to an immediate swapping of narrative on stage, planted interview in their go-to source to control the narrative in The Sun, and papped out together where no business being press when styled for a photoshoot (aka staged). All simultaneously within a day of eachother when was zero or opposite leading up to.
People can shut down 1D comparisons all they want, and state they were insulting eachother so was a hate for eachother, but that all happened AFTER contract was up.
Even the discussion at the end of the last thread about Jade only one not wanting it to end as emotional, but even all signs pointing to that is being emotional in emotional songs, enthusiasm towards band when all occur when alone/with fans/performing (and blatantly not with members as seems to be sole one refusing to play it up in interviews and IG lives and frankly just uncomfortable there, while others won't even have LM in bio but she makes point of doing to show not the one abandoning it).
At most signs are suggesting being equivalent to being cheated on and one breaking up with,not being broken up with when didn't want it. Aka what spawns the greatest negativity towards the band and refusal to continue/return.
Especially when spent the last of it alone, delaying start of solo while others made excuses to create opening to start early, while she couldn't as busy taking hit to benefit of others. Let alone the wasted work/time only to fill opening with control from label and time to be spent alone and waiting for a dead end.
All while conveniently where work ethic, potential for solo success, responsable spending, and investments beyond "look at my wealth and style" that are running others in debt...or nothing intertwine on same people.
I feel like can write essays about this and why think where Jade's view of group is opposite of not wanting it to end, so feel like explaining horribly, but think signs are pointing more to that.
Right down to that "three fake friends" song that however much covered for it, it's leakage, the clip chosen and being among songs written in lockdown when already knew end and put up for sale to leak with that contents and the circumstance around it is damning.
