This one's based off HaruhiSuzumiya.net's post which is based off Anime News Networks' post:
– Aya Hirano tweets that she’s working on a “secret project”
– a reporter with J-cast speculates she is alluding to the third season of Haruhi Suzumiya
(the Aya Hirano sex scandal earlier this year has put her future career as an anime seiyuu in jeopardy)
– reporter contacts a Kadokawa representative to confirm if a third season is in the works
– Kadokawa representative says a third season is not in the works

– reporter contacts a Kadokawa representative to confirm if a third season is in the works

The original here article is here. If anyone with a good grasp of Japanese could verify exactly what the question was and that of the Kadokawa representative’s statement, it would help clear up this misleading news source.
The article was translated by ultimatemegax for us:Glad to see that there is some doubt here. I’ll quote what I said on AnimeSuki’s message boards.
It basically details that the events in June prompted many fans to “wish” for a third season (which was not fulfilled) and that the second one was aired three years after the first one. It then details about Hirano’s tweets and the uproar they caused. But the important parts are at the end.

平野さんの所属事務所グリック(grick)に問い合わせてみたところ、平野さんのツイッターでの発言が「ハルヒ」の3期だと騒がれていることは知っているが
平野さんの所属事務所グリック(grick)に問い合わせてみたところ、平野さんのツイッターでの発言が「ハルヒ」の3期だと騒がれていることは知っているが
「担当者が不在のため、平野のツイッターに関して分かる者がおりません」
ということだった。
“We reached out to Hirano-san’s agency (Grick) to see if her tweets were talking about the much sought-after third season of Haruhi. We received a response saying ‘Due to the absence of our representative, there is no one that can comment on Hirano’s tweets.’”

The article immediately follows that statement and ends the article with this:
Quote:
角川書店の担当者に話を聞いてみたが、取材に応えることはできない、としたうえで、「ハルヒ」の3期を放送 する予定はない、ということだった。
“When we contacted a representative from Kadokawa Shouten, they could not comment on the subject. They did say that there are no plans to broadcasting a third season of Haruhi.”

No direct quote, but it is a summary of someone’s statements. Make of that what you will.
