Ayumi Hamasaki imposes gag order on ex-husband?

HUH???

Wouldn't surprise me if it were true.

There is a rumor thread somewhere :grumpy

I wouldn't be surprised... It was obvious that he was just in it for her money, and now he made 3.2 million dollars for doing nothing.

This part is especially fishy. I doubt she felt uneasy about SUPER MANUEL. I mean come on now, it was probably all Leslie's idea and he shoots all men naked/near-naked. He's even shot Ayu naked before! So why should it be any different if it's Mannie?

From another article they wrote:
I don't think they realize what they're writing.

I AM SOOOOOO CONFUSE >< Hopefully it's JUST a rumor >~<

Oh my love, Sean <3

I will say, this article is a lot funnier than others.

:roflmao

didnt we have a thread about this in the chat room?

They even put a twit of her wrong to make it sound better for their interest:
it's similar but not the same...

I am confused

I'm reading what are you guys write about Ayu's divorce here and in other threads and I'm surprised how many people is bashing Manuel even if everything seems that Ayu was the one guilty for their divorce.

Manuel was her toy and marriage was just fun for her. A whim of super-star to get secret marry into Las Vegas. They never loved. If before marriage they were "close" just by writing e-mails and after marriage distance started be a problem than it's obvious (the same as that Ayu wouldn't left her japanese career and fans for "american dream" with Austrian lover).

Some people think that Manuel's naked photo-book could be a problem. Sorry but if they planned common life into USA and later she left him and back to Japan than I don't see a reason to he need ask her about permission to naked photo-session. Correct me if I'm wrong but Manny isn't any top-class model who works for famous fashion hauses. He's kind of model-amateur who trying to make some "career" in USA since few years. If he doesn't shame his body than nude sessions are one of ways for him. Ayu isn't a little girl - she's over 30 and should be aware that model-actor housband may have naked photo shoots, pose with other womans, kiss and hug for camera.

Thats not what Ayu says.

^ I was gonna say something...
to tell people that you know that Ayu never loved her husband is stupid. You don't know that. period.

What do you mean?? I thought the book was suppose to be a surprise for her?
So she wouldn't of known about it.

top-class model who works for famous fashion houses take naked photos, actually, most of the time, those are the clients for asks for those kind of photoshot...

Sounds sexy...

All what she says are just some pieces of story, which may be real or not. She won't tell more and we won't know the true. She's got married behind the back of whole world, fans and maybe even her family. She doesn't feel in duty to make explanations to anyone. Somehow it's "normal" that she's trying to keep the privacy BUT till that time she was selling it around by the years. It means some rumors may be true and she paid Manuel to not reveal some dirts which could break her "good reputation" into japanese media.

Sure but it's THEIR CHOICE - they doesn't have to do it because have many other offerts. Manuel probably don't so... "SUPER MANUEL"!!! :innocent

What are you talking about? She's been pretty private about her personal life all throughout her career. Usually if anything got leaked out, it's because she revealed it to TeamAyu and then it was released to the mass media.

I'm pretty sure Mannie had a choice in the matter of SUPER MANUEL. As did all of the other models/people who have posed naked for Leslie. (Which now that I think about it is a REALLY high number... like hundreds.) I feel like people need to know this, but Mannie's photobook was the most tame of all of the male SUPER books. If it were like the other ones, I am pretty sure a lot of people would have been BEYOND disgusted with him.

The reason why I don't buy these rumors is that Leslie just LOVES a nude male figure and that's his thing. If Ayu had an issue with it, I don't think she would choose to work with him if she were so disgusted by nude photographs and so on. The way these tabloids are spinning the story, it's like a nude photobook came out from some sketchy source or some dude that pulled Mannie off the street but they don't seem to realize that they are writing about Leslie Kee who is (in)famous for his nude portraits.

hmmm gotta see these other leslie photobooks :laugh

It's not like Mannie was feeding on trashcans or whatever... Even if he is not a top worldwide famous model, he is far from being an uneployed wannabe...

Everyone who wanna do modeling, and to some extent, acting for living need to be aware that some works always will require the exposition of more skin. If Ayu married him expecting someone prude doing totally covered photos, she found her husband on the wrong job.

But I don't believe this is the case, considering the amount of bikini and naked shots Ayu done over the years, even after being famous...

A gag order would not surprise me because Manuel could sell details of their divorce to the media for profit. I think there is enough motivation on Manuel's end, because he doesn't have the money or career that Ayu has, that he could sell the details for quick money. It happens often in Hollywood during divorces, but we don't hear about it. However, whenever a huge name marries someone who isn't that big, there is a necessity to protect the star's image because, unlike in this case Manuel, Ayumi would have a lot to lose by Manny running his mouth to a tabloid or news report. I would not blame Ayumi for requesting a gag order. However, I'm not sure that Manuel really was such a bad person... I just think that Ayumi loved him for some time, realized that she couldn't just leave Japan to build a life and maybe would not want to anyway, and Manny didn't want to build whatever life they could in Japan because he wants to become a star in the US.

I don't think he has any significant talent, apart from looking somewhat attractive, so it's a long shot for Manny, but that's his deal. Either way, I think they both wanted a life together then realized they were destined to take different roads after a short time. I believe that Ayu will always care about Manny, and the same for Manny caring for Ayu... Maybe someday their roads will meet again. However, I respect Ayu's decisions to protect her career and public image. She can't afford a Koda "stale amniotic fluid" kind of issue. Her sales would plummet because the public doesn't think of Ayumi as being as close to reckless as they would, say, with Koda because the ero-kakkoi style is already provocative and there aren't high expectations for respectable behavior from her.

This is overall just sad though. I hate to see two people who love each other fall apart... :(

Actually, Ayu survived a good amount of controverses that could easily kill (or greatly damage) a female singer in Japan over the years...

all the one with girls are gorgeous

the one with men are like porno stills, I don't really like his work /not even a prude, he sucks basically

this rumor is so false,the author isn't even trying lol
though I dunno even if Mannie talked about their relationship, I doubt her longtime Jpn fans who lbr are the majority of her current sales/success would believe him

I wouldn't

I think the major issue is that Ayu has been so private for years (Rightly so, if she wants).

We get scandal on the few times she's been photoed smoking and drinking. It's unlikely they where the only times she drank or smoked but it was out in public ... The Tomoya relationship wasn't ever confirmed until very close to the end, she kept it secret.

There's been a few bits in between, but full details have never been known. Now the issue is someone who can either divulge a lot of info as he was her husband and was privy to that info or someone who can say he married Ayu without her ever divulging any info about herself. Either is no good.
Realistically he will come off bad if he talks, but given he is relatively unknown in his field of work, anyway to make money could work for him.
But maybe, and I'm throwing this out their, they where in love or did become good friends and he won't say anything.
She can't have been stupid enough to not put something in a pre-nup denying certain degrees of shizz talk.

Edit.

Photoed looks wrong, someone correct that spelling LOL

Oh and in relation to the thread title, a gag in that photobook would have made it sell. Just saying.

lol yeah, I would say that a hot guy is a hot guy, but after seeing Mannie's.....:laugh


Anyway, if the public knew what ayu was really like, they'd prob have a cow.

AYUMI IS A VIRGIN GODDESS

This.

Dafuq??? 200 million Yen just to keep Mannie shut 'bout their marriage?

That's why she's a soccer mom now, right? :laugh

And I'm sure that Ayu still loves Mannie, the way she still loves Nagase. She's just not in love with either of them.

I dont know what a gag order is....

Yeah. Not surprised... what I wan't to know is who the hell came up with a term like 'gag order'.

If you're gagged, you can't talk--think "bound and gagged", when someone is tied up and cannot speak because of something in or over their mouth.

Me neither actually lol When I read gag I thought it meant that she was gagging on something, Mannie related :innocent

Haha me too. I just imagine him with a gag in his mouth with Ayu in a maid's outfit with a whip like the "Ladies Night" PV :innocent

And that's when **** got weird lol

*ignoring the posts about off-topic sexual imagery*

I wouldn't be surprised though...she has to protect herself. Mannie got lucky though, cashing in like that. sigh :/

I don't see all the fuss...if Ayu has money to bling bling her toilet or her multiple cellphones, why not paid his ex husband....I mean, the poor man even told his granny about his marriage.

Is not like He's gonna let Ayu on the street, or that Avex would allow it...

The "rumor" about Ayu divorcing her husband over a nude pictorial smells like something cooked up by the media, particularly the Asian media with their immature notions of human sexuality. Oh my, a semi-nude photoshoot! Let me clutch my pearls. Yeah, right, like someone is actually going to go through divorce over something as trivial and silly as that. They're not in high school, for crying out loud. Unlike Asian tabloid "journalists".

I'm pretty sure there are a pre-nup, gag order, and divorce settlement all in place. Ayu seems like a smart, tough cookie.

I agree 100%.

Time to move on now kids! lol
