Yeah, it was a pretty ridiculous thing. Just basically a bunch of 2channellers inventing a scandal where one didn't exist.

Ayu was making fun of her co-workers for not enjoying themselves & standing up, even though they were in the front row. She got fans to kinda jeer at them, and they stood up.

2chan members who hated ayu decided to spread a nasty rumor - accepted by many as fact, even YEARS later - that ayu was saying that stuff to someone in a wheelchair who couldn't stand up.

People in wheelchairs aren't usually put in a place as dangerous as the very front & center part of the crowd, so it's incredibly stupid. Plus you can plainly see NO handicapped person in the video. How it got so out of hand is beyond me.
