>V&U announces the termination of Amano Serafi's contract. They intend to refund all Superchats, Super Stickers, memberships, and merch purchases for her channel since December 2023, and will private all content on her channels on 4/18. They also intend to pursue legal action against Serafi, citing damages. It should be noted that, according to V&U, Serafi requested to buy out of her contract on 2/2, and was provided a summary of expenses that she would be accountable for. According to V&U, Serafi then requested that all further communication would need to be made via legal action.
Some updates on this conflict... In addition to the omitted $450K charge for contract termination invoiced from V&U to Serafi.

Taking a page from Nijisanji's playbook, V&U put out an initial termination notice, then seeing the bad reaction to it, doubled down with a second announcement with more of the same.

Serafi's signed CONTRACT was recently LEAKED, revealing:
- The briefly worded contract's duration was actually 1 year, not 3. It had already expired when she asked to quit.
- The contract was actually signed on September of 2022, not on January of 2023 as V&U claims.
- She was initially paid $500/month for four months with a bonus total of $2500 on the fourth month. (So less than minimum wage.)
- The only penalty described in the contract is five times that. (Still unenforceable, but nowhere near $450K.)
- The itemized invoice claims that several heads of departments had spent 50% of their time on her, despite there being 19 other talents, while demanding she pay that portion of their salaries, and included a $20,000 itemized charge labeled only "etc", among other "oddities".
- They confirmed the existence of this invoice in their second termination announcement.
- Despite cries of "imitating Doki", Serafi was trying to leave the company on February 2nd, before Doki's termination notice was posted.

On the other hand:
- The confidentiality agreement, though unenforceable, is three years.
- Serafi has swapped managers multiple times.
- Serafi, like Pochi, leaves several donothon goals unfulfilled.
- The rrats have it that Serafi caused some drama among her sisters.

That all said, I personally don't think it matters if she attempted to murder one of her sisters, nothing justifies an extortative half-million dollar contract termination fee, and threatening to sue to keep the other talents living in fear.

Amano Sefari is now @alien_mixture on Twitch.
