Cousin Abortion Scandal

The Cousin Abortion Scandal was a series of controversial events surrounding Jasmina Kaputshnikova, the cousin of anti-LELUM rebel and gangster Johnny Tightpecs.

The scandal started when ECSNews got a then-mysterious leak (now known to have come from Nunichi No-Shirt) and reported that Jasmina had undergone a medical abortion due to an ectopic pregnancy in the lung. The media all swarmed Kaputshnikova after ECSN made the first move, and soon it was known that Jasmina had actually had twins - one embryo had been in each lung before the abortion. The situation was escalating, and a lot of attention was also directed towards Tightpecs. Realizing that whoever leaked the news would benefit from an attack on the rebel group, Johnny deduced that the leaker was Nunichi.

With the aid of Mike Lighthead's persuasion techniques, Johnny blackmailed and threatened his way into Nunichi's inner circle, finding out that he was actually the father of the wins. Turning the tables, and paying Nunichi back in the same coin, Johnny released an anonymous leak that revealed the truth, forcing Nunichi to enter full damage control mode. Big D Roofraiser seized this moment to go public, advocating Tightpecs's innocence while raining more fire into Nunichi and LELUM.

Fully cornered, Nunichi ordered ECSN to cancel all coverage on the subject, letting the public's interest falter over time. The rebel group also took the way out, valuing Johnny's discrecy over the chance of firing back at LELUM.
