Being someone who grew up together with Giselle, they could confidently say that she is one of the nicest people that they know.

She doesn’t have a ‘dirty past’. We occasionally went out with our friends like most teenagers do, but she never smoked or did drugs, and she definitely never bullied anyone. She was a normal teenager that worked really hard to get where she is now.

Imai also responded to those that felt that her edits were “suspicious and strange”.

Some of my edits seem a bit suspicious and strange? I’m editing my English because it’s not my first or even second language and can be a struggle to get right… but, yeah yes it’s super suspicious. Also I would get being called a liar if I was saying horrible things or spreading fake rumors but, I’m just defending my friend.
