I'll assume this was in part a reply to me, since you used the same phrase I did: 'oversharing'.
If you read the entire post, my point was that it was oversharing... for Ayu's standards, plus it came at a time where she was suddenly all over social media. It went very fast from private Team Ayu blog posts to being able to talk, meet, and share with fans worldwide directly. That on top of her partners being in music videos, album covers, and her work being very focused on a saturated love theme (LOVE, again, LOVE again, Love Songs) just represents a very messy time in Ayu's life. I think there is an interview where she confessed she had blurred the lines between personal and work life and I would agree to that. It's not about not knowing the gritty details.

I said it all in a neutral way since I don't judge Ayu for what she shared, or how she dealt with anything. At most I think her throwing a ripped picture of herself and Mannie into the music video for Return Road (which was post-divorce) was a bit underhanded... but it's her career, and I know pretty much zero about her as a person and her life. We have little bits from her social media but no real context and I won't pretend to. However, I was trying to give a bit of background as to why you will hear fans saying she 'overshared' or that her relationships dictated her career path too much. For a little while she did let it represent her image, and it's still recent enough for people to talk about it.

To clarify, I don't think her relationship with Tyson contributed to this image. It was a low-key and private affair.
