On 21 March, V&U released the official announcement of Amano Serafi's graduation, allegedly due to her intention to break contract and refusal to continue direct communication on 28 February. They justified the delay of this notice because they were hoping to work with her again, but can't hold off anymore since certain recent events have damaged other V&U talents. In consequence, they feel obliged to take legal actions. Her membership would be immediately closed, and they were also preparing the refund for Super Chats and YouTube memberships since December 2023.[13] The recent events were regarding rumors about V&U had not paid the Super Chats she earned through her donothon streams.[14]

Upon providing the calculated amount of compensation, on 28 February, Serafi ceased all communications unless through legal action. The agency also claimed that her recent public online activities were damaging the talents and the company, her claims were "exaggerated and misleading", and they would pursue legal action for breaches of non-disclosure agreement and making false claims.[15]
On 18 April, all content on Serafi's channel and social media would be switched to private.
An indie streamer, Alien Mixture, who claimed to be the talent behind Serafi's character, stated that the amount of compensation V&U agency requested for the early termination exceeds $450,000.[16][17] In response to V&U's termination notice, on 26 March 2023, she made her own statement document explaining her numerous issues with management, such as: having two managers with low knowledge in English, lacking of support from a manager in charge of 10 talents at the same time, being pressured to making content even when she was unable to stream, and being praised for some streams before blamed for promoting hate speech through those same streams.[18]
