The cause of Hana Kimura’s depression
Kimura is said to have been the target of hundreds of mean tweets from fans and critics on a daily basis. Especially following an incidence that happened earlier in the year. Apparently, in early January, Kimura was involved in an incident with Terrace House housemate Kai Edward Kobayashi with Kimura’s Wrestle Kingdom 14 ring attire. He washed his clothes while Kimura’s outfit was also in the washer, he then threw it in the dryer, ruining her wrestling attire. Kimura was visibly upset, knocking his hat off his head and leading to verbal conflict. It sent her into depression and after it aired in March, her actions drew criticism, name calling and abuse from social media users.
She reportedly tweeted:
Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny they hurt me. “Die”, “you are disgusting”, “you should disappear” I believed these things about myself more than they did. Thank you mother for the gift of life. My whole life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love you all. I’m sorry for being weak.
