Chapter 193 Take the Blame

A famous gossip weekly published photos of Kiko Araki’s past.

These photos were originally taken by Senzo Inoue. Later, people at the agency found out that Etsuko Fukuyama spent a lot of money to buy the photos.

The content of the photo is an intimate photo of Kiko Araki with a number of men, including Fukuyamadai's Kenji Takada, a manga artist and an executive director.

The company has wiped Araki Kiko's butt more than once, and she also behaves inappropriately, so there is a lot of black material on hand.

After the photo was released, it immediately aroused heated discussions among fans. Although Kiko Araki's fans have been lost, there are still people who stick to their position. However, after this battle, even those who persisted in the end were made mentally explosive by those photos.

A loyal male fan ran outside the set where Kiko Araki worked, took out all the posters, photos and other peripherals of Kiko Araki he had purchased over the years, and burned them on fire.

Because the East Arney arson incident had just passed, society was very sensitive to fire. The flames and flying ashes immediately caused panic among surrounding residents and passers-by. The fan was immediately arrested by the police and taken away from the scene.

Kiko Araki is smiling in the magazine photo, but in reality Kiko Araki is exactly the opposite.

The moment she saw those embarrassing photos of herself appearing in magazines, she suddenly felt that the sky turned gray.

At that time, Kiko Araki was indeed dating three men at the same time. This was nothing in itself. Isn't it normal for Japanese girls to have four boyfriends? A wallet, an errand boy, a driver, and a life. There are only three of them.

This wasn't a big deal at first, but the worst part was that it was photographed. What's more, she is an artist.

In a country like Japan that has extremely strict requirements for artists, no female artist can withstand the impact of these photos, and the executive director among the three men in the photos is still married.

Kiko Araki, who had received a lot of sympathy and attention in the past period, once again made a 180-degree turn in public opinion.

It was widely rumored that Aoi Kono rose to power through beauty, while Kiko Araki refused to accept Kei Fujiwara's advances and was squeezed out. The rumors were instantly disproven. It was obviously you who gave up your great role in "Long Vacation" in order to star in the drama "My Mistress", so why did Aoi Kono exclude you?

The theory that Kei Fujiwara sexually harassed her is even more untenable. Given the chaos of her private life, as long as Kei Fujiwara hinted at something to her, this woman could climb down the water pipe to the balcony of Kei Fujiwara's house overnight.

Only then did the fans realize that this was all a frame-up. And what’s frustrating is that no evidence of her frame-up has been found.

Because from the beginning to the end, Araki Kiko never said anything clearly, but just kept hinting and inducing, which made the public even more angry and felt that they were being played.

Fans of Aoi Kono also took this opportunity to fight back. Countless letters of protest were sent to the companies where Kiko Araki and Aoi Kono worked, asking them to protect Aoi Kono. It seems that Aoi Kono, like Kei Fujiwara, was bullied by her seniors in the workplace!

The crew of Kiko Araki's current TV series are also under pressure. Originally, this late-night drama was based on the news that Kiko Araki had received not long ago, and they were thinking of giving her more roles to increase her role. In less than a week, the public opinion turned around.

So the producer had no choice but to ask the screenwriter to re-revise the script, write this woman to death in advance, and let her leave the crew.

Originally, some of the contents of the late-night drama were just crazy fun at the bottom line of human nature, and it would be bad if it aroused the disgust of the audience.

The manga artist who was dating Araki Kiko was the first to stand up, claiming that he was in a normal relationship with Araki Kiko. Many people in the industry knew that he was her real boyfriend, and that he had been deceived.

This manga artist actually didn't lie. Although he and Kiko Araki were secretly dating at the beginning, they were an honest boyfriend and girlfriend. He's kind of the victim.

However, this manga artist inspired two other people. Producer Takada Kenji and the executive director also issued statements: They were in a normal relationship with Araki Kiko and were deceived by that woman.

Even the executive director said that he and his wife were separating, and he met Kiko Araki during the separation, but he did not expect to be deceived by this woman. And now he has reconciled with his wife.

The wife of the executive director also came forward to confirm that the two of them had indeed separated not long ago. Her husband was a good man who loved his family and his wife, but this time he was deceived by a bad woman.

I have to leave this circle anyway. Taking one blame is the same as taking two blames. What’s wrong with taking a few more?

Under the influence of various negative public opinions, Araki Kiko had no choice but to announce her retirement.

Aoi Kono was also criticized by the public not long ago. After the reputation changed overnight, the audience compensated for her, and her popularity was unprecedented.

Inoue Mori folded the newspaper again and placed it on the table nearby. He was secretly relieved when he saw that the criticism of Kei Fujiwara in the report turned into praise for his defiance of power.

Not long ago, there was a bad controversy involving Kei Fujiwara, which made her worried for a while and extremely angry.

Bullying a colleague? Stealing work? Sexual harassment in the workplace? These are very serious accusations, but in her heart, Teacher Fujiwara is a gentle, strong and gentle man, and has nothing to do with these accusations.

Bullying a colleague? I have never seen Teacher Fujiwara who is neither humble nor overbearing. He always maintains a kind smile on his face whether he is facing the director or his subordinates.

Stealing work? What a joke. Mr. Fujiwara frequently produces excellent works and has never failed since his debut. Does a creator like him need to steal?

As for sexual harassment in the workplace... I have never been harassed anyway. Is it because I am a child?

Fortunately, the public's eyes were clear after all, and it didn't take long for public opinion to naturally vindicate Teacher Fujiwara.

Matsushita Shinya was having a hard time during this period. Not only was the public opinion fermented fiercely, but even several of his current disciples working for him were also affected. The people's hearts among his disciples were temporarily unstable, and some disciples also had a change of heart.

Matsushita Shinya also had to smile to his disciples during this period and gave them a lot of bonuses to appease them. He didn't want the second Miura Tobe to appear again.

We just need to endure this period of time and wait for the storm to calm down... Matsushita Shinya thought to himself.

This time he was attacked by a lot of public opinion. In addition to Fukuyamadai and its associated newspaper Sankei Daily, there were also a series of publications under the Spring and Autumn Society. These were all powerful mouthpieces and could use powerful public opinion weapons.

Although TTV is also helping him with his public relations efforts this time, Matsushita Shinya knows that they are just trying to protect the show. Once "Gemini Detective" is announced to be over, the TV station's public relations department will kick him far away. However, Chunqiu Society and Fukuyamadai have maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with Fujiwara Kei and will always serve as his trumpets.

At this time, he finally realized that the cards in the hands of both sides were not equal at all... It was a ridiculous and bad idea for him to take the initiative to use an extra move against Kei Fujiwara.

And because he was denounced, it seemed that he was also involved in "Gemini Detective". Some viewers launched a boycott of the show, and the TV station was often harassed by phone calls and letters of protest from some people.

So Shinya Matsushita has been keeping his head down and walking lightly when entering and exiting the set recently, hoping that this period of time can pass smoothly.

However, contrary to expectations, after the new episode of "Gemini Detective" was broadcast, it once again angered the audience because of some plot reasons.
