Broadcaster MC Dingdong has been embroiled in controversy after assaulting female streamer A during an online broadcast, and A again issued a statement.
On the 11th, A said via a channel notification, "I didn't know this would spread into such a big incident, and videos of other BJs are being distributed without mosaic blurring. I sincerely beg you to stop any further leaking of videos."
Earlier, A said, "Honestly, I was so angry that after the broadcast I couldn't pull myself together and made a big fuss about suing. Still, viewers comforted me a lot, and because I love the channel, if there had been a sincere apology I had no intention of pursuing a lawsuit. But when I saw the phrase 'you were careless but I was careless too,' I decided to sue," and said she rejected a settlement offer.
A said, "My family are seeing the articles and comments, and the malicious comments keep appearing along with videos, so the stress is so severe that I sometimes think I should just let go of everything and die," and asked, "Please stop the malicious comments thinking you are saving a person. The slapping sound on camera is the sound of a microphone being thrown, so please don't misunderstand or make unfounded assumptions."
She added, "Broadcasting is my job, but I'm someone who likes to broadcast. Now that this situation has come, my mind goes blank and broadcasting has become difficult. Please, I beg you to stop."
The incident began on the 7th during an internet broadcast in the form of an "Excel broadcast" hosted by MC Dingdong with several BJs. While A was performing a cursing rap at viewers' donation prompts, she mentioned a drunk driving and hit-and-run incident from two years ago, and MC Dingdong, looking stern, grabbed A's hair. Afterwards, MC Dingdong explained, "I can take other insults, but when I heard about the incident from two years ago, it triggered trauma and thoughts of i-dle, so I reacted."
As the incident escalated, MC Dingdong said, "I do not take the weight of this matter lightly, and I will take responsibility where necessary until the end. However, I will no longer tolerate the situation in which false information is spreading as if it were established fact. The exact details will be clearly revealed through legal procedures and investigation."
Below is A's full statement
Hello.
First, thank you to everyone who sent so much comfort and support during today's broadcast.
I will say a few words about this violence incident.
I didn't know this would spread into such a big incident, and videos of other BJs are being distributed without mosaic blurring. I sincerely beg you to stop any further leaking of videos.
Also, my family are seeing the articles and comments, and the malicious comments keep appearing along with videos, so the stress is so severe that I sometimes think I should just let go of everything and die.
So please stop leaking and posting malicious comments thinking you are saving a person. The slapping sound on camera is the sound of a microphone being thrown, so please don't misunderstand or make unfounded assumptions.
Broadcasting is my job, but I'm someone who likes to broadcast. But now this situation has come, my mind keeps going blank and broadcasting has become difficult… Please, I beg you to stop. I'm asking you.
Thank you for reading this long post.
