One half of the comedy duo, Bananaman, Himura Yuki was featured in the tabloid publication, Friday and accused by a woman that Himura had sex with her when she was 16-years-old (took place 16 years ago). The woman is now 32-years-old and many people are wondering why is she releasing this information now.
According to the article, when the woman was a teenager at the time, she told him that she was a 21-year-old.
Many people are wondering why is “Friday” releasing this information now? What is the woman’s motivation to release this information 16-years-later?
Himura married earlier this April to free announcer Kanda Aika and a lot of rumors were posted in media that the two are headed for divorce.
Some have said that Kanda, known for her presence on social media, had not tweeted on September 20th.
Kanda took to Twitter to post the following:
ツイッターにコメントを下さった皆様へ。
この度は、夫に関する報道で皆様にご心配をお掛けしてしてしまい、大変申し訳ございませんでした。
これまで以上に皆様に笑いをお届けする事が出来るよう、わたくしも精一杯彼をサポートして参る所存です。
引き続き、日村勇紀をどうぞ宜しくお願い致します。— 神田愛花 (@kandaaika55) September 22, 2018
