VTuber Bunny Ayu defends herself as more speak out on abuse allegations Twitch: bunny_gifVTuber and social media star Bunny_GIF, also known as Bunny Ayu, has defended herself as more speak out on allegations of abuse, bullying, and harassment. She has denied many of the claims despite apologizing earlier. Allegations of harassment and abuse by Bunny Ayu first surfaced on March 16 after the VTuber made a call out asking for \u201canyone with animosity towards me from the past\u201d to come forward and have \u201ctough conversations\u201d with her if they were willing. After a groundswell of claims were made online, Bunny first responded on March 18 by apologizing to a number of creators and said \u201cI know what I\u2019ve done wrong, I\u2019m not perfect, and I\u2019ve grown from not only this event, but the past events as well.\u201d However, after claiming \u201cmany things were taken out of context,\u201d Bunny further defended herself on March 22 as the claims kept piling up. In her recent statement, Bunny said the vast number of creators coming forward had damaged her reputation, singling out Layna \u2014 the most prolific of them all \u2014 first: \u201cYou have done irreparable harm to myself, my brands, and my friendships.\u201d https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bunny_GIF\/status\/1506348542973120514 Bunny first hit back at Layna\u2019s claims, stating she tried to reach out to solve issues before her figure project was canceled. \u201cI tried to reach out to you multiple times over the years and you were personal friends with those I asked to help me with getting to have a conversation with you. \u201cYou consistently claim the $20,000 debt as a part of your suffering. However, you are the one that canceled the figure in the first place. Per your contract, you took on the financial burden of making the figure. \u201cAlthough we had our differences I still wanted to finish this figure and then we could part ways amicably. We never would have talked again. I spent time and shouted out every one of your streams on my account. I rallied my fans to your streams to get excited. \u201cI understand you didn\u2019t want to do a figure because we no longer were friends. This is not good business. I tried to talk to your business partner, he told me he would not be involved in any of your drama despite being a co-owner.\u201d Bunny also stated she would \u201cconsole\u201d Layna while she was working on another figure for Susu, stating the \u201ctension was unhealthy\u201d. However, after the project was stopped, Bunny stated Layna made it impossible for her to reach out. \u201cYou have asked for a public apology from me. I did it knowing all this truth but it still wasn\u2019t good enough for you. We both experienced pain. You blocked me. I could never contact you.\u201d I was ready to type my final statement today so we can move on and forward from this mess, hoping they can grow in a positive way but- looks like they kinda keep digging a hole. Pretty sure at this point me accepting any apologies are off the table. Doesn’t seem they meant it. \u2014 Layna\ud83d\udc89\ud83e\ude78 (@LaynaLazar) March 22, 2022 The VTuber went on to address all of the allegations against them. Starting with Sinnocent\u2019s claims dating back to 2013, she said her claims of reliance were \u201cover-exaggerated\u201d and that she lied about her true reasons for leaving the cosplay community. Sinnocent directly attributed her quitting to Bunny\u2019s influence, but she added \u201cI was told directly to my face that the reason that she quit was because she wasn\u2019t making enough revenue and she was stagnant.\u201d Bunny also brushed over Sinnocent\u2019s claim that \u201cone [streamer] moved to attempt suicide because of Bunny\u2019s actions.\u201d Yurockit went public with her own experience with Bunny on March 21 including this note, but she attributed it to Yu being \u201cin a bad mental space at the time.\u201d After Susu\u2019s claims of emotional abuse following their relationship with the VTuber, Bunny disputed that claim saying she \u201cdid not have a voice to speak up against her.\u201d \u201cI wanted and still want to be better. Susu, you know the truth. You know we were both in a mutually toxic relationship. Neither of us are innocent.\u201d My statement regarding Bunny TW: mental trauma, abuse ,suicide Read: https:\/\/t.co\/VS8xCGsolA \u2014 \u2744\ufe0f\u26c4\ufe0fYuki \u26c4\ufe0f\u2744\ufe0f (@YuRockit) March 21, 2022 The last allegation Bunny brought up was those leveled by Vixenshelby. Vixen claimed Bunny was \u201cvery physically and verbally inappropriate\u201d when they met up in October 2019, and also tried to \u201cisolate Su [her partner]\u201d from meeting her. \u201cBunny was also saying really mean and unkind things about other creators and even dragging girls she was appearing friendly with,\u201d Vixen added. \u201cI had to give up streaming and almost decided to quit my online work altogether.\u201d Bunny denied the claims, saying the conversations they had when meeting up \u201cwere nothing but positive and friendly\u201d and there was no inappropriate conduct. Bunny also brought in VShojo star Silvervale into the drama. After becoming friends in April 2020, Bunny warned Silvervale about working with Layna on a figure after her own experiences. Silvervale took her advice, but later ghosted Bunny without reason from May 2021 onwards. Silvervale has not spoken about the situation publicly. All of the claims made by Bunny have been disputed by the various creators who have spoken out against her. In a follow-up statement, Layna stated both Bunny and AdmiralBahroo \u2014 who also denied claims of harassment on March 22 \u2014 were \u201cdigging [themselves] a hole.\u201d Meowri added \u201cmaybe with the fourth apology they\u2019ll get it right.\u201d Bunny has not streamed since the allegations went public, with her last Twitch broadcast dating back to March 17.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
