Hans Niemann was accused of cheating after he beat Norwegian grandmaster Magnus Carlsen last September.
He would respond professionally and be honest about how serious those rumors are. He sued several big organizations over that claim and should take it seriously rather than going “lol, why are you so interested in vibrators, do you like that sort of thing” to the interviewer when everyone in the room knows why the question is being asked.

The serious rumors were never about the anal beads thing, only about cheating.
They are the same rumor. I don’t think there is a single person that has heard he cheated but doesn’t know about the butt plugg.
