Documentary
On 17 February 2019, the day after Dolly Style participated in Melodifestivalen 2019, SVT released the first of three episodes in the short documentary Dolly Style-fabriken ("Dolly Style factory") that showed how Emma Nors and Palle Hammarlund originally formed the group and business model, as well as their desire to export the concept to other countries. The documentary featured criticism against Dolly Style's creators. Emma Nors said that the documentary, by only interviewing earlier members and not newer members, was demonizing and biased. The documentary creators said that they invited Emma Nors to take part in additional interviews to respond to the criticism. They argued also that they tried to interview newer members.
The documentary's other episodes claimed that earlier member Sarah von Reis' departure from the group was not voluntary, and that Emma Nors had kicked her out of the group. Reis also said that she did not write the farewell message that was posted on Instagram in connection with her departure.
The ending of the documentary was done hastily, as its creators wanted to release the first episode in time for Melodifestivalen 2019.
