Its just to attract an audience and the press don't give a damn who they destroy by saying things, they just jump on the whole 'freedom of the press' bandwagon

Yeah, this is basically my thoughts too...it's a lot more shocking when a huge popstar is involved. ~

Even though it's all lies and stuff, and it's only Ayu's social circle and not herself..it might have a negative effect on her all the same..

"Have you heard Hamasaki's new single?"

"The one involved in that drug scandal? I don't want to listen to her music anymore!"

etc~
