Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

The mother of Hana Kimura, a former professional wrestler who killed herself after appearing in the Japanese reality TV show Terrace House, has sued the programme’s producers, claiming the show triggered the cyberbullying that led to her death.

Kimura, 22, killed herself in May 2020 after being subjected to abuse and harassment on social media following her appearances on the popular show, which featured a disparate group of strangers living together.

Kyoko Kimura is seeking around ¥142m yen ($1m) in compensation from three companies, including Fuji Television. In her suit, filed with the Tokyo district court, Kimura claims the defendants produced the show in a way that encouraged viewers to turn against her daughter.

The reality TV star began self-harming after a scene in which she had an altercation with a male cast member was streamed on Netflix in March 2020 before being broadcast on television, according to Japanese media accounts of the lawsuit.

The scene triggered the online abuse that caused Hana to kill herself, the suit alleges. Her mother claimed that Fuji TV and the two production companies intentionally staged and edited scenes to portray her daughter in a negative light.

Her mom told her that she will always be hated by her fellow Japanese because she doesn’t look Japanese, just like her mom. She will only be offered the villain role. It’s something that she needed to accept and deal with.

The dark side of the Japanese culture of conformity.

It’s pity after all these years. Her career was starting to take off. She could have made stardom, maybe even a WWE star by now, next to her fellow Japanese wrestlers.

Yeah, I guess her dad is Indonesian.

I knew there was something different about her that I found sexy. I'm usually not attracted to Japanese, Chinese, Korean, etc. women.

...it was the South East Asian blood in her.

South East Asia makes the best Asian women imo.
