To me, Orser had no choice. Yuna and her team should have said something first, or communicated with Brian to issue a joint press release.
The thing is that Orser very well may have had no choice but to issue a statement about the break up. And maybe the first interview. But here's a thing, he absolutely had a choose on what he said, the words he used, and the picture he painted with those words.
When I broke up with my boyfriend from grad school, yes I needed to tell all our mutual friends about the break up. But what I had a choice about was whether or not, I wanted to tell everyone want my boyfriend had done, for me to make that decision (He didn't cheat but he did something). I choose instead to just say we broke up, good guy, just didn't work out. And did my very best to be civil the entire time, and since he was mad I dumped him, he was rude to me for awhile. Not obviously to all but kind of rude. I just dealt with it silently. But here's the thing because I choose to keep the inner details about our break up, private. Everyone was able to remain friends. Nobody had to pick and chose. And I even later got a couple of months later a direct apology from for being rude to me after the break up. I handled the break up with the boyfriend this way though because a couple of years later, I had a bad break up in a friendship with a friend. And both of us were going on and on telling all of our mutual friends all the bad that happened. And the whole thing got ugly and messy, almost costing other friendships. I learned from that one and promised myself that from now on, I'd try to keep my relationship issues between me and that person as much as possible.
He doesn't have to talk about her mom making the decisions, he doesn't have to talk about how they mistreated them All he has to say is the broke up, and refute anything they say. So to say Orser has no choice is ridiculous. He has a lot choices in the words he uses. Just as Yu-na had a choice in whether she would say Orser lied. But the thing is Yu-na had stopped making those kind of comments.
