IU in abuse blind item reveal on ‘Crazy Days And Nights’ for … reasons

IU made a recent appearance on the site ‘Crazy Days And Nights‘ in a blind item reveal from over four years ago. The blind item alleged that she suffered from a physical beating from a group of people, including her manager.

“October 3, 2011

Korea: My source for the one above and this one says that for the one below from Korea that there was actually a cell phone video of it but that one of the managers grabbed the phone and smashed it. The memory card came out in the smashing and he grabbed it. This A++ female singer was at a press conference announcing a new CD and tour and other projects she was working on. All kinds of standard stuff. Well, she got off the stage and went backstage and her manager was there and in front of about five people began beating her. Not just slaps, but like a physical beating. It was going to end horribly until someone finally pulled him off her. The reason? She never mentioned him or thanked him during the press conference. Get this. Later SHE apologized to him and begged him to continue as her manager.

‘Crazy Days And Nights’ usually deals with Hollywood rumors and blind items.

So on that note, a few things though.

1) I don’t read the site all the time, but like 75% of the shit always seems to be false to me, especially since that whole Robert Downey Jr. thing.

2) The timing of this reveal is suspicious in terms of it being geared to when she might draw the most clicks due to her recent scandal making even some international news sites.

3) I have no idea if this is even possible or not in terms of checking whether the events match (maybe a fan can attempt to fact check this).

That said, given what we know about how idols are treated and how we’ve seen them treated, this wouldn’t be all that surprising. I mean, managers will assault people in public in broad daylight, much less whatever happens behind closed doors.

But more than believing this specific story (and I would lean towards not), I just found it shocking that a Korean entertainer would be randomly on this blind item site now … much less supposedly dating back four years. Shit is getting ridiculous.
