Weekly Bunshun: Why the ‘A and X Affair’ Leak Is Unlikely
A new “Bunshun bomb” has exploded regarding Matsumoto Hitoshi from Downtown.
The July 11 issue of “Weekly Bunshun” reported that Matsumoto Hitoshi’s side was involved in “sabotage” concerning the testimony of A, who accused him of sexual misconduct.
In response, Matsumoto’s lawyer, Masahiro Tashiro, strongly rejected these claims, adding a new twist to the ongoing “Matsumoto vs. Bunshun” conflict.
The key figure is “Mr. X,” who has been supporting A through her ongoing issues and has helped her despite her uncertain life situation.
Tashiro attempted to contact Mr. X, allegedly trying to persuade A to withdraw her testimony through him. Tashiro has denied these claims.
There are even descriptions that make one tilt their head in confusion.
This refers to Tashiro’s mention of an affair between A and Mr. X.
Weekly Bunshun reports that after Tashiro’s request to withdraw A’s testimony was rejected, he casually said:
“By the way, Mr. X is having an affair with A. The magazine plans to write an article about it. I can stop the article if you’d like. What should we do?”
It is reported that he used this as leverage.
