Hayes Edwards made a post, first to clarify that he and Hannah were just friends, and second to tear into his crazed fan base.
Fanaticism to this extent is basically pathological.
Because of this, Hayes lost a wave of fans, and his manager berated him for it. However, his attitude was rather nonchalant, "If they want to leave, they can. Anyone who wants these crazy fans can have them."
The manager was trembling with anger, "You're going to be the death of me! This industry thrives on youth, do you understand if you offend the fans like this, they could easily crush you tomorrow? I told you to stay out of it, but no, you had to go and make some pointless post, and for what? Do you not want to work in this industry anymore?"
It's not that the manager was belittling his own artist, it's just that aside from his face, Hayes had no other redeeming qualities.
He's been mocked by groups for his poor acting, even on variety shows he's ridiculed for his low EQ.
