<p> The power harassment allegations against Kanna Hashimoto reported in the November 7 issue of &#8220;Shukan Bunshun&#8221; (November 7) have caused a stir.</p>
<p> Although not a double treat, the article is based on Hashimoto&#8217;s &#8220;power harassment allegations&#8221; and her relationship with Nakagawa Taishi. However, the &#8220;power harassment allegation&#8221; is at the center of the story.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> Hashimoto, who is currently starring in the NHK TV series &#8220;Omusubi&#8221; and will host NHK&#8217;s &#8220;Kohaku Uta Gassen&#8221; for the third year in a row, is probably the most successful actress in the world today.</p>
<p> According to the magazine, she was under a lot of pressure and her alcohol consumption increased, but her stress, which could not be relieved with alcohol, turned to her on-site manager.</p>

<p> It is hard to believe that Kanna Hashimoto, &#8220;one of the most beautiful girls in a thousand years,&#8221; with her dazzling smile, is being &#8220;power-harassed? It is hard to believe, but the article also contains a confession from a person related to the office, who says that eight managers have resigned because of her power harassment.</p>
<p> In response to an interview with Bunshun, the office president admitted that around 10 employees who were not in Hashimoto&#8217;s charge, but who were present at the scene and transported the talent to and from the office, had resigned.</p>
<p> And recently, there was another manager who was removed from his post because he was criticized for a drink.</p>
<div data-friday-nextpage-lead=" Surprisingly, there are many actors who get into trouble over drinks."></div>
<p>&#8220;Just a drink? Many people may think, &#8220;But there are many stories about &#8220;drinks&#8221; in the entertainment industry.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> A former male idol, now in his 50s, is famous for having his manager go out to buy juice for him, and when the manager, who had bought one for himself, drank it before the idol did, the idol threw his own juice at him, saying, &#8220;I can&#8217;t allow you to drink before the talent does. It is a well-known story. There was also a singer who yelled at the manager because the coffee was too hot, saying, &#8220;What if I get burned and can&#8217;t sing?</span></p>
<p> It was not only drinks. There was also a beautiful actress who had 10 humidifiers prepared by gathering humidifiers from around the station because a single humidifier was not enough in the waiting room, and another who told the contractor who was repairing the air conditioner in the waiting room, &#8220;How long are you doing this?　Another story is that of a beautiful actress who threw her slipper at a contractor who was repairing the air conditioner in the waiting room, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s too hot and I can&#8217;t stand it.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> However, these stories were never reported in weekly magazines. Recently, however, several actresses who were once female announcers or heroines of morning dramas have also been reported for alleged power harassment.</p>
<p> To begin with, this is not an uncommon story in the entertainment industry. Perhaps that is why industry insiders are not particularly surprised to hear of such power harassment stories.</p>
<h2> The &#8220;breadwinner&#8221; of her agency</h2>
<p> The &#8220;power-harassed&#8221; talents have one thing in common.</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> However, the common denominator among talents who have been accused of power harassment is that they are the &#8220;breadwinners&#8221; at their firms, or that their firms are the &#8220;top earners. However, what is common among the talents who have been accused of &#8220;power harassment&#8221; is that they are the &#8220;breadwinner&#8221; of their agency or belong to an agency that is &#8220;the only agency the talent belongs to. The talent is not allowed to quit if they are in a bad mood, so they tend to be treated like princesses, queens, or princes. In large and well-established agencies, veteran staff members at newcomers are trained to firmly emphasize that the talent, the agency, and the manager are a team of two,&#8221; said an executive at a major entertainment company.</span></p>

<p> However, another TV station insider said, &#8220;There will be no problem at all.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> When you sell well and become popular, this kind of talk is bound to come up. It&#8217;s like people are half jealous of them. There have been many celebrities and actors who have been accused of power harassment in the past, but it usually turns out to be a backstory of the entertainment industry. It is not like they have committed a serious crime, and it does not take much time for things to die down. The reaction of the public, except for the anti-actors, is &#8220;Oh, really? And since it is an inside story within the office, the industry doesn&#8217;t care at all. Of course, it will have no effect on commercials. Hashimoto-san is very clever, and if such a report were to come out, he would certainly be careful about what he says and does from now on.</span></p>
<p> It seems that Hashimoto&#8217;s footing will not waver.</p>
