I mean... we can go based on what she herself said or based on our feelings - I'll stick to the former.
They also defended Rushia when her drama started btw. Termination came after internal investigation found out she leaked info (something I think was confirmed by the dude who was suppose to get it? I might be misremembering this part).
Don't take me wrong, I'm not saying you have to believe everything company says or think they are the "goodest boys who can do no wrong". Not at all.
What I am saying is that based on the limited insight we do have there's no reason to think they are super evil. They might be but there's no serious evidence for that that I know of.
I don't think they're super evil, just normally evil. With the amount of leverage they have on their star workers, I don't trust that they haven't and won't abuse it in the future.
They are a corporation so we definitely shouldn't take them on their word I just don't see much value in coming up with imaginary abuse "just in case". You don't have to trust to not make up stuff without evidence.
As for their leverage... it sure is there to some extent but it's not absolute. As much draw as Hololive as a brand has, viewers stay for specific talents. Every time one of them leaves (whether it's graduation or termination) they bring some chunk of their audience with them - it's not like they are completely dependent on the company.
Edit: As for actual abuse, that was the case with Mel and her first manager if I recall correctly. Dude was fired and they changed their rules to better protect the talents after that. That was the early days, back when they neither knew what they were doing yet nor had a proper staff to deal with such problems. It's still a screw up, but apparently they did learn from it.
