VShojo ’s one of the former talents, Momo , has finally broken years of silence. She made some explosive allegations about how the agency treated her, further sparking fresh outrage. Speaking for the first time publicly, she claimed that the agency offered her a contract, and then rescinded the opportunity abruptly, breaking her mental health and confidence. It happened after Momo invested some significant money and time in preparation. Her story painted a troubling picture of some behind-the-scenes practices within the digital entertainment industry .
Former VShojo talent Momo speaks up about her experience with the agency
Momo former talent of VShojo, stated unequivocally, “They paid me nothing the entire time I was under a contract cuz they just wouldn’t respond to me.” Despite signing what she believed was one of the legitimate agreements, promising a bright future and support, Momo alleges she received zero financial compensation throughout the time she was associated with VShojo.
As Momo describes, the contract terms were "a little wild," while she acknowledged the naivety of her as a newcomer enticed by the promises of career advancement and care. Such a lack of payment persisted even after the agency withdrew its commitment made to her debut.
Momo revealed that the agency abruptly reversed course once she invested a significant amount of personal resources, as she prepared for her role. As she recounted, "after I spent money and time like prepping to become a part of it,” the company vaguely cited some "financial reasons" and "changes in the company" to drop her. Such a sudden withdrawal happened despite the signed contract between VShojo and her. It left Momo professionally adrift and financially burdened.
What stung her the most was being “left in silence” after the agency’s lack of communication. She was allegedly told to “reapply later,” as if she were just some other applicant. Such an emotional toll, as per her, was severe and left her questioning her self-worth as a creator. "I still think about it a lot whenever I’m like assessing my own self-worth as a creator," Momo confessed, as she admitted that she at times wonders if the agency was right in discarding her.
The experience, as revealed by her, extinguished the fiery passion she had initially. "I was so excited. I was so full of passion. And then that happened, and it just I don’t know, man. It broke me." Such disillusionment stemmed not just from broken talent contract problems and the lack of pay, but also from her trust being shattered within the entity that actively recruited her with some grand promises.

To add insult to her injury, as claimed by Momo, VShojo instructed her to re-audition publicly for a position she believed she was holding within the agency. “They were like, Hey, you know, uh, reapply in the fall,” trying to frame it like some sort of courtesy. While complying out of desperation, Momo endured a humiliating process. She said, "I went through the audition prog process like embarrassed the [ __ ] out of myself having already been signed." Quite predictably, she “never heard back from them.”
Communication between VShojo and Momo just vanished entirely after that point. "There was just like no communication after that. not from the company very little from like anybody," stated Momo, putting emphasis on the psychological damage of the agency’s complete radio silence. Such isolation thereby compounded initial betrayal, and it deepened her spiral of confusion and self-blame during her career’s vulnerable stage.
VShojo controversy seems to be never-ending
Momo allegations come at a time when the list of complaints against VShojo is increasing at an unprecedented rate. The agency that was once praised for the talent-first approach is now facing scrutiny over its VTuber management issues . There are multiple high-profile VTubers who have recently departed, citing issues like poor communication, restrictive contracts and financial abuse in contracts .
Fans have expressed immense frustration. Some even accused the agency of leveraging talent loyalty to manipulate negotiations. The others, on the other hand, pointed to the sudden removal of the verification badges for the departing members as an unprofessional sign. With more stories emerging, the reputation of already falling out VShojo continues to take a hit.

I guess I'm glad now, considering back in 2019 I spent almost two and half years spiralling about my self worth in the entertainment world and in my friendships. All because I signed a two year contract with VShojo, spent a bunch of money and time to prepare, only for them to…
