Suspicions of sexual activity surrounding Matsumoto were reported on “Bunshun Online”, which was broadcast on December 26th last year, and “Weekly Bunshun”, which was released on the 27th. Yoshimoto Kogyo issued a statement saying, “There are no such facts, and this article significantly lowers the social reputation of the talent in question and damages his reputation.” “We plan to consider legal measures.” Bunshun said, “We have confidence in the article.”

When asked for comment, Nishikawa said, “Even though we don’t know anything yet, it’s really scary that both sides, including Mr. Matsumoto’s side, and the victim’s side, are being told with certainty (the public).” Concerning the current situation, he said, “If the case goes to trial in the future, it is inevitable that it will take a long time, and if that happens, both parties will end up under tremendous stress.”
He continued, “However, there is one point where I feel like the fishermen are gaining an advantage.The longer the trial goes on in a weekly magazine, the more articles they write, and the articles they write while using someone as a shield continue to lead to sales. I’ll go,” he said, expressing his opinion.
He further revealed, “When it comes to damages, Japan’s damages for defamation are millions of yen.It’s a lot of money, but I feel like it’s small compared to the other efforts that go into it.” “I can’t help but think of him as a useless ‘good-willed third party,’ and that’s something that really bothers me when I’m looking at things,” he said.
