Another poster called the videos “damage control” and several people complained that the clips seemed “embarrassing” or “fake.”

“See how normal we are and how we just ignore the fact of what happened and how good everything is,” another person wrote.

Another supportive fan commented, “Some of you are hilarious. You will fire people and act like you are perfect.”
