Why post an article talking about rumors involving a person and not even specify what alleged rumors are?

Hopefully, those rumors have nothing to do with Yakuza involvement, agencies are so antsy about that nowadays that they'll throw talent out for even the slightest involvement with them even though back in the day, it's not really possible to turn down their favors.

From what I've read elsewhere, it doesn't. Basically, his fans are upset that he got married so they've been slamming him online, accusing him of infidelity and other things, mostly in regards to his relationships in the past. According to VIMS, this has been extremely upsetting for him, both mentally and physically.

The link to their website on the bottom of the article has their official statement which can be google translated to get the basic idea as well.

WTF, Yuuki has been in relationships before and the fans know of this and is slammed and smeared still for being married? On top of that, why are they so concerned about his past relationships when he's married? His fans have lost their minds, they do know Yuuki is human and not a robot don't they and can make mistakes (and that's only if the rumors are true, which may not be the case).

Because they can't "own" him so to speak. Heck, Mamoru Miyano went through similar things when he got married including some fans hoping his wife miscarried.

+ what will happen to the various parties if ann repeats the rumours?
+ does ann want this to happen?
+ what alternative paths can ann take other than detailing the rumours?
