Pretty much what you said, except it is not actually a tabloid story - this isn't just something totally made up, it's an actual case.

The drug-related-death section of the story, yeah. But selling off Ayu? That sounds totally made up to me. I think avex would get rid of some other fresh meat before ever even thinking of getting rid of Ayu. I sort of wonder how many "Ayu is retiring from Japanese music activities because of X reason" / "Ayu to leave the industry!!!" rumors we'll get a year. They're basically the new "Ayu and Tomoya have split up! Ayu found a new man named Timmy!" since Ayu actually announced the end of her relationship in June 2007. Though those sorts of rumors seem to also be popping up, just not as often as the others. [Ayu and Jin Akanishi?! Ayu and Tetsuji Tamayama?! AYU'S BIG DECISION.]

Right now you don't see it on the front page of newspapers because there is nothing new to report, but that certainly doesn't mean that it isn't still going on behind the scenes and that it is not going to pop up again later (and bigger).

True, but Ayu doesn't have to be mentioned in the articles, you know? It's like in order to get people to notice the article, they just say "By the way, Ayumi Hamasaki was friends with the woman who rented out the flat to this guilty man! She's apparently under suspicion!" After Mika pretty much said a lot of what was being reported online was false, I don't think there's much to worry about at all. I think people have been accusing Mika of also being involved with drugs as well, just that Mika doesn't have legions of fans and Ayu does, haha.
