Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. All six events in the timeline rest solely on reporting from four outlets — cryptotimes.io, ibtimes.sg, variety.com, and rollingstone.com — with none confirmed by a primary source. No on-record statements from both parties are documented in the provided facts. The status of the affair allegation and related business separations remains pending further verification.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
