[TeamAyu] Ayu is getting divorced II

[emi♡]

I dont think its taking advantage. Its not like Ayu has a whole real family shes ever been able to depend on...

Shes obviously likes it this way, and she seems to be well taken care of. Besides, Ayu is a big liability to the company in a way, they want her super looked after, she must be used to it by now lol

[saigodansu]

Not a robot, but she allows them too much control of her everyday life. Can you imagine your employer being the only one carrying the key to your home and having to phone him for a ride to get home and let you inside.

So? I don't get you. That is her life. Do you want to change it? What is your point?

[AyUmIXx]

i don't see anything wrong that ayu has her staff surround her to fulfill her necessities.
she's a super star and i don't think those staff are really that controlling her life, they are just like her assistants, more over she's living on her own, so she needs some ppl to take care of her stuff, one of their jobs is to take care of her dogs.
even if she allows them too much control of her personal life, that's her choice and from what i see, she has no problem with it, she and her staff are already like family and close friends, that's probably the reason of why she feels comfortable with her staff around. i believe that she has considered her staff as the part of her family already.

and i think the reason of their divorce is coz of the super manuel book is really funny.

Japanese newspapers have stated that Ayu has given no money to Mannie after the divorce. They have also not had to split any of their property. Ayu had to pay a 50,000 Yen fine for not registering her marriage in Japan, but that's it.

It also states that as an Austrian, Mannie apparently was scared of going to Japan because of the radiation (because of the Chernobyl-effect on Europe), and his countries government had/has told its citizens to leave and stay out of Japan, causing strife between the two.

^ he didn't visited Japan at least once after the disaster?

Gosh, the photos were gross, don't tell me Super ayu shots are also like that?? gosh, it's really such a bad idea that leslie like to do those nude shots... anyone has more super mannie scans??

The speculation has become pretty humorous. The only reason I can see either of them getting upset over the Super Ayu/Manuel books is because there were provocative photos that: A) Mannie felt pressured into taking, thereby questioning his status in the relationship; B) upset Ayu when Mannie auctioned off a signed copy of his book; or C) upset Mannie when Ayu showed others her book.

Nevertheless, OMG are those pictures of Mannie disturbing. Those would never turn me on, just freak me out.

I wouldn't be surprised if Ayu didn't give him any money after the divorce, but he's got his own fortune and it's entirely possible that that was part of the prenup. The stuff about him not wanting to go to Japan after the tsunami because of fear of radiation would be really upsetting to anyone, but I'm sure that's absolute crap.

I do wonder if Japan is very spiteful towards him now. Or if they're more spiteful towards Ayu. A celebrity like Ayu marrying a Caucasian man...then splitting up...there's bound to be some jealousy, hatred, conceit, and maybe even gloating floating around amoung the female population of Japan.

Regardless, the talk that we should drop the subject seems silly to me. Few people have said anything malicious, and Ayu wouldn't have told us the situation if she didn't expect us to talk. And to be honest, as international fans, us talking on a forum about it is significantly less damanging than gossiping about it in the streets or in school.

Why is everyone believing what the media is saying ??

Ayu explained clearly what happened in her TA message. Shouldn't we believe her?

As far as I know, most of the rumors started by medias in the past turned out to be false anyway...

No offense, but someone else having a key to your home isn't a big deal? At my old job I had keys to their house... I was a nanny and looked after their children. I could rock up to the house and no one else would be there, doesn't mean I'm going to do anything I shouldn't, because they trusted me. You don't know Ayu's personal relationship with her staff or managers so I just don't see how your argument is valid. There would obviously be bucket loads of trust between them, but we'll never ever know for sure, we're only onlookers.

And she's an A-list superstar, part of her charm is letting personal photos of herself be published via twitter or Team Ayu. Team Ayu is a paid-for membership program to receive exclusive messages and stuff from Ayu herself, so its really just a part of the business. And I'm pretty sure Ayu can control what gets uploaded by her staff, if she didn't want something published by one of her friends then it wouldn't be. I would assume she is control of that. And if she's not, she's not done anything to change it, so she must be fine with it.

Ayu knows she is a product, she's stated it in quite a few interviews.

I don't think you need to worry your pretty little head about this stuff.

That article is doubting ayu's truthfulness. "Is Japan's March 11 earthquake the real reason why Japanese singer Ayumi Hamasaki decided to leave her husband?" There's really no reason after reading that line. Why would ayu lie about that anyway, she's always been honest with us.

This is what keeps this thread living: fake speculations and senseless off-topic discussions.

I just died. ahaha.
LIKE, REALLY??

[love in music]

I think it was because of the book too. That actually was my first thought when I heard the news.

[Suteisi]

It's called modelling! It's a job!

Models do what the photography/client wants them to do! If Leslie wanted Mannie to pose that way, he did. What do you do at work? Generally, you do what your boss tells you!

Lol. Silly tabloids!

Yea, TBH, mannie's picture were really gross... And I believe ayu still has a conservative mindset, didn't liked her hubby's nude photos showing everyone...

Well, of course, there are other factors as well, like she has already drifted away from mannie etcc as they rarely even meet.
