According to HITC, the social media fire started a few days ago when her former co-member Yaebin was caught saying the N-word on her Instagram live, rapping to Nicki Minaj's song "Super Bass." The singer was immediately criticized by fans who claimed that she was insensitive for doing so.

Soon after Yaebin's indiscretion, Kyla subsequently tweeted about karma being a bitch. The case led fans to assume that the tweet was directed at Yaebin. After that, Kyla deleted the tweet and denied the claims by posting another tweet stating that she wasn't talking about her (Yaebin) from the previous twitter post that caught fire.

Allkpop reported that the fueling issue on twitter between Kyla and the fandom drove accusing accounts to leak old screenshots containing alleged information that Kyla shared on Snapchat and Discord chat. These allegations included Kyla's claims being transphobic and her spreading rumors about several PRISTIN members being in relationships with idols from different male groups.

After remaining silent for a short while, Kyle took to clarify the rumors by releasing a statement on Twitter.

In her full statement, she started with the dating rumors, explaining that they were all false and that she never said anything about certain idols was dating. She even emphasized that during her contract with Pledis, she has never dated anyone. She clarified that the screenshots were fabricated with fake accounts impersonating her.

Furthermore, she explained that the reason for her going back to the US was because of the injuries she obtained while filming and was told by her doctor that if Kyla continued with promotions, she would have permanent brain damage. She further pointed out that PRISTIN disbanded while she was recovering.

She also cleared the rumors about her saying that she was transphobic. She explained that she is a pro- LGBTQ+ and that the misconceptions emerged from the Discord server's moderators she was part of. She took full responsibility and apologized on their behalf.

Lastly, she announced that she would be leaving Twitter and apologized to those who have been hurt by the issues.

She finished up with a post-statement to say that she was aware of certain friends who made terrible decisions in the past and decided to keep her distance from them.
