Pretty much this. Why on earth is Ayu not allowed to make mistakes, be in a bad mood from time to time, get angry, or be horny? Especially Ayu, whose whole "thing" has always been that she's a human being just like us. For heaven's sake, why can't people just let her be human x_X

To the best of my knowledge Ayu's never had a scandal bad enough that all promotions for her current album were pulled... THAT honor can only really go to Koda Kumi for her "rotten amniotic fluid" comment (which is just plain funny in retrospect).

Namie doesn't really talk enough for anything she says to cause a scandal, this is true, but her image is a very cool, distant one to begin with. It's not really part of her "brand" to talk all that much anyway, so there haven't been opportunities for her to create such panic with some offhand or vague comment. However, she had to deal with almost retiring after the really violent murder of her mother.

Honestly I'm just thankful all of Ayu's "scandals" have either been overblown humanness, misunderstood gossip, or outright fabrications. When you think about it, Ayu's career has actually been SO relatively uneventful that people need to either make things up or point at totally common behavior as though it's the end of the freaking world because this time it's something Ayu did.
