^ I'm curious to know what the reasons are that you hate him :tired..

My thoughts exactly!

that actually seems to be true. we all know this man can pose nude, with ugly strings and spread legs. so it'll cause lots of problem to ayu's career if he continues doing it :laugh

eh meh. Obviously Ayu and Avex still care about her image.

And there are so many ways they could have reached that amount. I dont think it reflects bad on Mannie...maybe the fact that he'd accept it, or that there was a lack of trust in the marriage.

Shouldnt have gotten married then!

I really don't see how this reflects badly on Mannie =|

Under many laws, he'd be entitled to half her fortune, so a set amount of ~$2mil USD isn't that bad for her. Besides, he was her husband - who's to say he doesn't deserve anything? For Ayu's fortune that's a reasonable amount.

I think this is more avex's doing than Ayu's... I think she's happy to be frank about the break up since she posted that she simply didn't feel close to him anymore. Avex is probably panicking thinking he'd sell stories to the media. But I don't think Mannie would do that - he hadn't for the 15 months they'd been "together" so why he'd start now is just absurd...if he had intentions to sell the story, we'd have seen him on TV in Austria or in a Japanese magazine talking about their married life.....he may be Ayu's husband, but he's still a nobody in Japan.

I wouldn't believe a single word about it... $3.2 million must be like spare change to Ayu anyway

hmm wondering if that article is true or not.
hope it's not true.
i wish they divorce peacefully, not like one side paying money to other side to keep silent.

I was actually wishing for a tell-all book from Mannie. Although, I would completely lose my respect for him (not that I have any to begin with) But, I think paying him was for the best. I don't think it reflects bad on him. Nor does it highlights Ayu's lack of trust.

It's probably not true. If Mannie were that type of person, we'd have seen it by now.

I feel kinda bad for Leslie since he just wanted to do something nice for Ayu (well, all of those books were rather... interesting. Mannie's was actually the most tame.) by doing the photobook with Mannie and now it's being used as a reason for their divorce which is completely stupid.

oh why? I previously posted much about it, not even gonna repeat myself...

P.S. it's just that my heart is purely devoted to Tomoya Nagase :laugh

This. It must be devastating for him to read those kind of rumors.


Anyway, I'm not so sure I believe the gag order tidbit. Anonymous sources aren't the most trustworthy.

In Shinjuku nichome (gaystreet) they were selling his SUPER MANNY on gay porn stores. Found it epic.

BUT; I think its sad it didnt work out, even though I never liked Manny.

"Other conditions of the agreement include not being allowed to pose for a nude pictorial, work for any Japanese publishing house, discuss anything about her with anyone or ask for more money in future."
:roflmao

he is totally FAKE and married Ayu for only money:rifle:eviltongu

totally... to mee it seemed like she's refering to the marriage more than divorce.

yeah... some people can be known for YEARS and YEARS and turn into serial killers secretly slaying thir victims....things happen..but i'm not implying anything, i don't know him...just like none of us do...
----

on thing i don't get it... why forbid someone to pose the **** out of their nude ass after the separation haappened?:innocent .....or did I get something wrong?

What's this about a divorce settlement? Are you guys just speculating?

Its the rumor. Its been rumored like, since the divorce happened.

Personally, as a celebrity, I find the settlement nearly obligatory, as an idealist, I would have hoped that there would be enough trust between them that one isnt needed. Thats what I meant by lack of trust.

Of course, that almost never happens.


I think the nudity clause is hilarious. We dont need to see where Ayu's.......anyway....

So, wait, is the settlement that Ayu/Avex said that Mannie wasn't allowed to pose nude true?

^I don't think so, it's just a rumor. And basically he did for SUPER MANUEL... xD

^Cause what I was thinking is that, if it was true that Ayu/Avex didn't want Mannie to pose naked, ever, it would make the rumor that Ayu dumped Mannie over Super Mannie more likely.

^yeah, but if this would be true, I think she wouldn't work with Leslie anymore 'cause he was the one who came up with the idea of those photos.
