Is the trial between Downtown’s Matsumoto Hitoshi (61) and Shukan Bunshun coming to an end? More than a month has passed since the second preparatory hearing, originally scheduled for August 14, was postponed without any announcement. Matsumoto has remained silent for some reason even after reuniting with x, saying, “It’s a natural right.” Matsumoto Hitoshi’s “Attendance Suspicion Entertainer” is in danger of disappearing. Ozawa Kazuhiro, Watanabe Sense… the risk of trying to survive by currying favor with seniors. “Initially, it was said that it was possible that the court’s convenience was involved, but it is not normal for a postponement to this extent without any reason. “The fact that Bunshun submitted 20 pieces of evidence suggests that the reason for the postponement is most likely due to Matsumoto’s side.” (TV variety show insider) In the article “Josei Jishin” (October 1st & 8th combined issue), “Matsumoto Hitoshi: Preparations for a ’surprise settlement’ in the Bunshun trial proceed behind the scenes…maybe he will return to TV this year after withdrawing the lawsuit,” a comment from an insider was quoted as saying, “Matsumoto is moving in the direction of withdrawing from the lawsuit, and after withdrawing the lawsuit, it will be announced that he will return to TV this year.” Meanwhile, in the comments section of the article posted online on the 18th, there was a comment that read, “If the settlement was for Matsumoto’s convenience, Bunshun would not issue a correction or apology. There has been a flood of harsh criticism, with comments such as, “In that case, the public will take it that the series of reports was true,” “A return other than a complete victory would surely be a negative image,” and “If the reports are withdrawn, it will be as if Matsumoto has admitted to the Bunshun reports.” ■No sponsors until the facts are clear “Some people may have forgotten, but when this news first came out, major sponsors such as Asahi Beer, Suntory, and Acom announced that they would no longer display their company names on programs featuring Matsumoto. In short, they will withdraw their sponsorship until the facts are clarified. Now that a world-renowned company has clearly stated these standards, other companies must follow suit, or risk being questioned by the public about their lack of compliance. If anything, nothing has changed since the initial reports. Instead, there have been reports that Matsumoto’s side has followed Ms. A, who is suing the victim, and that a mediator-like person has offered 100 million yen, and if anything, his image has worsened.” (Advertising agency source) On January 8th of this year, Matsumoto said, “This allegation is groundless, so I will fight it. That will also be included in Wide na Show. ” he posted on x, but has yet to say anything. Since he said he would “fight,” it was thought that he would appear in court and prove his innocence, but with 20 pieces of evidence presented, the trial has not progressed. If he were to return, the public would not be satisfied unless he held an unlimited time press conference. “Strictly speaking, the statute of limitations has passed, but if what happened at the hotel is true, it is something that could potentially become a criminal case. It is unlikely that he would return to television without explaining this and leaving the matter unresolved. No matter how enthusiastic the fans are, television stations fear being inundated with complaints and that this could lead to a boycott of sponsoring companies. If Matsumoto doesn’t fulfill his responsibility to explain, then Speedwagon’s Kazuhiro Ozawa, who is said to have attended, will also be in the same boat, making it even more difficult for him to return.” (The aforementioned TV variety show source) Continue reading from the source.
In the end, he was so scared and embarrassed to be surrounded by entertainment reporters that he went into hiding, using the lawsuit as an excuse, right?
>>18 Well, even if he does hold a press conference, his eyes will wander a lot and he’ll be at a loss for words when answering questions from reporters, so he’ll probably end up a complete mess.
>>18 They told Watanabe that it would be weird for him to come back without doing that, and they shelved the “Don’t Laugh” show that Watanabe was in. Comedians say and do completely different things, so there’s no need to listen to them.
>>18 Oshima from xxclub also said this, but he lacked the ability to express his feelings at a press conference like Takeshi, Sanma, Shinsuke, and Ota. Even though he was a genius at talking, he didn’t have that ability.
Ozawa has a strong personality and seems to have a decent amount of work even without pandering to Matsumoto, but Watanabe and others are out of the question.
So Motokiji is Gendai after all lol That’s nonsense lol Bunshun’s side submitted the documents, so they can’t withdraw it unless Bunshun agrees lol If Matsumoto’s side withdraws, it means they have no chance of winning, so it’s unlikely Bunshun will agree lol Well, the only thing that’s increasing is the income of Matsumoto’s lawyers.
>>40 There are still people who say that, but Matsumoto’s sexual assault allegations were the final blow and the matter was completely dropped. If you look it up, you’ll find it.
I’d like you to explain. Did you go on group dates? How many decades did you do them over and how often? Did that happen a lot after that (whether you were forced to or not)? Did it happen again after you got married? And lastly, were you forced to do it or not?
