Neat, tidy, done. This episode is about why that story is missing half the picture. We go through the full arc — the circumstances of her Fifth Harmony exit and what that did to her reputation before she even had one, the way the racism controversy reframed everything mid-peak, and the calculated risks she took with C,XOXO that should not have worked as well as they did.
