The family of renowned personality D Fujioka has been subjected to public insults, leading his agency to issue a stern warning. While the specifics of the attacks are not mentioned, the wave of derogatory remarks aimed at Fujioka's family has provoked a firm response. The timeline of events, identities of defamers and reasons for the slander remain under wraps for now.
In Japan, personal attacks, especially against celebrities and their families, are generally frowned upon due to a prevailing culture of respect for privacy. The action taken by the agency is seen as a protective measure, invoking rights to personal life and privacy, while creating a dialogue around mental health and respect for celebrities' personal space.
Similarly, in the U.S. and EU, there are strict defamation laws in place to protect individuals from false information that can harm their reputation. Encroachment on personal space, especially for public figures, is also taken seriously, with legal action often being sought in case of violation. However, the levels of legal protection available may vary.
