Ai Fukuhara was reported for alleged infidelity. She was sued by the other man’s ex-wife, but the lawsuit was withdrawn…

Ai Fukuhara, a former representative of Japan’s national table tennis team, updated her official website on November 15, announcing

The lawsuit against Ai Fukuhara has been withdrawn as of November 15, 2022.

The trial against Ai Fukuhara has been withdrawn as of November 15, 2022,” she reported.

In March of last year, Fukuhara was reported to have allegedly had an affair “back home” with Mr. A, a trading company employee five years younger than her. At the time, Fukuhara was reported to have stayed overnight, but she explained that she had stayed in a different room.

However, she later announced her divorce from her ex-husband, Chiang Hung-Chieh, a former Taiwanese table tennis player. Mr. A also divorced his wife, Biko, in November of last year.

They claimed to be friends, but the month after Mr. A’s divorce, a beautiful and sparkling photo of the two of them sitting on a park bench was reported by Josei Seven, and they proudly declared their relationship. The explanation was that they had started dating after the divorce was finalized, not having an affair.

However, on the same day, Bunshun published another article alleging adultery. That is when the public’s perception of Fukuhara suddenly turned harsh.

Fukuhara and Mr. A have started living together in a new residence worth about 300 million yen that Fukuhara purchased.

However, on the 1st of this month, Shukan Bunshun reported that his ex-wife, Biko, had filed a lawsuit against Fukuhara demanding 11 million yen in alimony.

The lawsuit apparently included a line that Ms. A sent to Mr. B and a “love letter” that Fukuhara wrote to Ms. A as evidence of his infidelity, but the lawsuit was quickly dropped.

The reason why the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit was because the plaintiff and Ai Fukuhara, through their respective lawyers, confirmed the facts, and as a result, the plaintiff and Ai Fukuhara agreed that the relationship between Ai Fukuhara and her husband, with whom the plaintiff lived together, was a misunderstanding of infidelity, that even after Ai Fukuhara learned that her ex-husband was a married man, he had no intention of taking the plaintiff’s ex-husband for a quickie, and that Ai Fukuhara herself had no intention to take the plaintiff’s ex-husband. It is also clear that Ai Fukuhara herself did not actively contact the plaintiff’s ex-husband or otherwise interfere improperly with the plaintiff.

Fukuhara’s side announced with the signature of her lawyer.

“Ms. B suspected adultery and had been gathering “evidence” behind the scenes. Even so, Ms. Fukuhara’s side has no reason to doubt her innocence. Fukuhara’s side must have had the confidence to show his innocence, but if the trial had gone forward, it would have affected his future ping-pong career. If the trial had gone forward, it would have affected his future table tennis career. It seems that the lawyers confirmed with each other and came to the conclusion that the affair was a misunderstanding, so she was saved by the skin of her teeth,” said a source involved in a wide-ranging TV show.

The withdrawal of the trial should be positive news for Fukuhara. However, although the case was covered by the Internet news, it was hardly reported on TV.

When the allegations of infidelity were reported, Fukuhara apparently consulted with executives at a major firm and asked them not to cover her story on TV stations. “When the allegations of infidelity were reported, Fukuhara apparently consulted with executives at a major firm. Whether or not this had an impact, Fukuhara’s story is no longer reported. It is as if “the god who doesn’t touch you has no power over you,” so they are not reporting the news this time either.

If Fukuhara has to appear in court for a lawsuit over adultery, she will be the subject of media coverage, which will inevitably have a significant impact on her future image and her work as a ping-pong commentator. In fact, even in China, where she has many fans, her popularity has been affected.

Fukuhara may be relieved that Biko has dropped the lawsuit…
