Yukina Kinoshita’s Fear of Defamation Sparks Debate Over Her Departure for Children’s Sake

In November of the same year, despite being forced to suspend her entertainment activities, she made headlines with an “Instagram vertical reading confession” that revealed the words “I love you,” sparking an affair rumor with a soccer player. The following month, in late December, she announced her divorce from her then-husband, ‘FUJIWARA’ Toshifumi Fujimoto. In July 2020, she terminated her contract with her agency and temporarily withdrew from the entertainment industry.

“Yukina Kinoshita has been involved in numerous scandals with high potential for backlash, such as the tapioca shop incident and the vertical reading affair rumor. Furthermore, her strong and bold personality led her to provoke her detractors by calling them trash, among other things.

Recently, she has made a comeback on TV, but each appearance has been met with strong opposition and further backlash. However, it is also true that she has many devoted fans who admire her as an aspiring mom. The large number of both haters and fans is a testament to her popularity,” said a female magazine reporter.

In response to her revelations on Threads, fans wrote:

“Thanks to Yukina-chan, life is fun! Thank you always!”

“Really, really, thank you for being alive,”

expressing their gratitude and support. On the other hand, on social media, there were many harsh comments for Kinoshita.

“The tapioca shop owner must have been terrified of being threatened with ‘the whole agency,’ such murderous words.”

“Someone should tell her that it’s just karma coming back to her.”

“It was previously thought that Kinoshita might have viewed ‘backlash’ as a form of promotion, but seeing her publicly express her feelings suggests that it may have affected her more than expected.

While it might be beneficial for her to accept accurate and calm criticism, for her mental health, it might be wise to ignore emotional abuse and defamation,” said a sports newspaper reporter.

Even after retiring, Kinoshita remains highly influential on social media. Sometimes, it might be necessary for her to take a break from the internet and live her life away from it.
