Am I the only one who's mind wasn't thinking so "scandalous" when I saw the text and tag on instagram
? To me that hand emoji means "stop/wait", and the watch meant time. So what I thought was, it meant more "thanks for waiting, max", meaning, she got the time she wanted until releasing something (yes, I know, 3 songs, 2 years, really, but only time will tell I guess). And yes, Avex isn't probably controlling her that much nowadays. But, that's how I took it, sue me haha.
On the other hand, if it is Max's hand, well that at least gives some meaning to the photo I guess, so I'm not mad about that. There must be a meaning behind it then, wether it's only to shock or something else.
BUT WHAT I'M NOT AGREEING ON IS, that she would need to "borrow" that watch from Max. She is filthy rich. Buying a Richard Mille watch, for only a one photo even, or borrowing it from the brand itself, isn't a problem for her. Richard Mille watch can easily be worth almost a million US dollars or even more. She could afford that if she wanted to. So no, I don't believe she needs to borrow it from anyone, girl can get one whenever herself. If it is Max in the photo, he's there for different reasons, not to borrow a watch.
ps. girl isn't dumb, that Calvin Klein ad gave her a good paycheck. Or, she just thought it looked cool, and did it for free, big whoop.
