melanie fontana and why ARMY does not like her — an informative thread
melanie fontana is a white, american composer, songwriter, and recording artist who has worked on a few of BTS’s songs.
obviously, usually ARMY takes no issue with collaborative artists/producers/etc. BTS works with many different artists and people in the industry.
the problem with melanie is she’s a credit-claiming clout chaser with a proclivity for being rude and selfish.

she always plays the victim and threatens to tattle to BTS when ARMYs don’t agree with her claiming total credit or misrepresenting her involvement on BTS’s songs. also, she thinks reverse racism exists.
the issue is not her working with BTS, it is that she is so desperate for clout that she claims that she herself is responsible for BTS’s success which feeds into the idea that BTS cannot be successful in the west without collaboration or assistance from a white artist.
and since melanie has accused people of racism towards her, a white woman, i must also inform her that i am white. reverse racism doesn’t exist. cry about it, melanie.
she first started out working with BTS on “boy with luv.” specifically, she wrote the BWL chorus, which BTS than changed (see RM’s MOTS:P vlive).
her post about the song repeatedly makes the ludicrous implication the she is solely responsible for the songwriting of BWL when in actuality she was only credited for the chorus which was then changed by BTS. see the issue?
some of her other fun posts include her claiming that BWL is “my first platinum single”, claiming she’s responsible for the guinness world record related to BWL, and other tomfoolery.
+she tried to sell a selfie of her and BTS for profit. why? 
(and you can see that tae is not amused)
(and you can see that tae is not amused)
she’s agreed to be interviewed for articles and segments that provide the implication that melanie herself is entirely responsible for and behind BTS’s success in the west which she is very clearly not.
her latest shenanigans involve claiming total responsibility for sweet night, taehyung’s solo song when she is again, only listed for a small portion of the credits. she did not give any credit to taehyung or the other collaborators. of course.
+the irony of it all
she’s a delulu. what is this? fanfiction?
and she has also liked weird shipper edits on instagram. gross.
in conclusion, there is valid justification for why ARMY does not like melanie, due to her clout-chasing behaivor that makes her seem like she’s wholly responsible for BTS’s western success. she is not. end of story.
if there is anything i have misssed, feel free to DM or comment and i will add. i hope this thread was helpful for baby ARMYs who weren’t aware or older ARMYs who needed to find receipts 
i've remained critical but cordial throughout this thread, but now that i've seen these, i'm going to call it as it is. melanie fontana is racist (or at least horrifically insensitive) and that behavior is unacceptable. this isn't even all of it.
and she has the audacity to say that ARMY is racist for saying she is white. which is an objective fact. you're either white or you aren't. it isn't offensive.
here is joon talking about how the melody melanie provided was nearly impossible to write lyrics to (see above where she claims RM said her melody “saved them”) and talking about how he had to rewrite most of the chorus
hop on the train to clown town @/MisterLindgren because the credits don't say that and you are listed last (meaning you had the least involvement)
so little involvement that pdogg forgot to include you :)

there is so much to unpack here. i don’t know if i can cover it in one tweet. the trivialization of sulli’s death, making everything about her, claiming reverse racism, etc.

just to clarify!! y’all are welcome to use my thread as evidence if you choose to email BH. more evidence is linked in the google folder above. if you have questions, please DM bc my mentions are swamped. also, i’m going to work in 2 hours and won’t be available for 5 hours.
more racism and she claims to have written the entirety of euphoria when she only worked as a producer
stereotyping mexicans and latinx people. no words.
note: i have been informed that the n-word tweet is doctored. therefore i have deleted it. please do not spread misinformation. i would have double checked except her account went private. my apologies.
okay, i am off to work and won’t be checking my phone. if something is pressing, DM me and i’ll get back when i can. see y’all in 5 hours!
she claims that the lyrics to BWL were just her lyrics translated into korean when joon said that wasn’t the case
