Weekly Bunshun， the Weekly Shonen Magazine representative for the Matsumoto Hitoshi trial， also commented， “After consulting with the women， we have agreed to withdraw the case as a defendant．”
Shukan Bunshun also commented, “After discussing with the women, we have agreed to withdraw the case as a defendant…” On the 8th, comedian Matsumoto Hitoshi (61) of the Downtown comedy duo withdrew his lawsuit over an article in a weekly magazine. Matsumoto had filed a lawsuit against the publisher Bungeishunju and others for 550 million yen in damages and to restore his reputation by correcting an article published in Shukan Bunshun that allegedly forced a woman into sexual acts. Bunshun released the following statement on that day: “Regarding the lawsuit announced today, the plaintiff’s attorney contacted us to say that he would like to issue a public apology to those who were hurt and distressed, and after discussing with the women, we have agreed to withdraw our status as a defendant. Furthermore, as previously announced, no monetary exchange took place in relation to this withdrawal.” (Weekly Bunshun Editor-in-Chief Takeda Sei)
>>1 Kanechika, a former convict of prostitution of minor girls and safe robbery, and a partner of a murder robber, is regularly appearing in the media and was even the main star of a charity program, so there shouldn’t be any problem lol.
Shock. Not just a defeat for Matsu-chan, but a complete defeat. He could have made a TV comeback (?), but if that was the case, he should have just made a similar comment from the start before the trial.
But this isn’t a settlement, is it? If it is, then the credibility of Bunshun has plummeted after the terrifying one-night trial in which Yoshimoto comedian Matsumoto claimed the allegations were “groundless.” The woman who made the accuser said, “The victim came to court, but she started foaming at the mouth and collapsed in the middle of the trial,” and was made fun of by the Yoshimoto comedians, just like in the terrifying home party trial. >Lonboo Jun: “Everyone is mistaken, but Gokuraku Yamamoto was not indicted. This is just speculation, but that incident seems like a honey trap…” ← Guys like the Yoshimoto comedian gang Yamamoto Ichimitsu and Yoshimoto group commentators who say “Why didn’t the accuser go to the police?” Won’t Matsumoto Ichimitsu and Matsunobu treat him as a second ●●● or a honey trap?
A woman was hurt when her past was dug up and Matsumoto Hitoshi was hurt by an unexpected article. Bunshun is amazing for making a killing in this magazine recession!
So he admitted to sexual assault. Don’t think he can cheat and get back into the entertainment industry. Bungeishunju. Is Japan.com the BBC an anti-Japanese media outlet run by the Sasakawa clan of the Nippon Foundation? Are they unrelated to the BBC? If you’re not going to report on Yoshimoto’s crimes, then get out of Japan.
Even if Bungeishunju and Yoshimoto Zainichi make peace with their collusion, he can’t return to the entertainment industry. He has to do the same thing to Johnny as he did to them. Defeat Bungeishunju. The TV commentators who essentially won the Johnny lawsuit and spread lies to the mass media are out.
It’s a delicate compromise. The details are unclear. It’s not a matter of victory or defeat, but rather who was right. So it’s more exquisite than delicate.
