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.
