UPDATE: As we reported late last night here on eWn, STARDOM’s Hana Kimura committed suicide after she was bullied online. She was a top star in STARDOM and her mother is Kyoko Kimura. She had recently appeared on “Terrace House,” a popular Japanese reality show on Netflix. There was an incident on the show and her reaction to it led to many fans turning on her and bullying her online. She posted a disturbing video earlier this week where she was seen trying to kill herself.
Paige, Natalya, Cash Wheeler, and many other wrestling talents took to Twitter to comment on her passing, which you can see below:
This breaks my heart. The Internet can be a cruel disgusting place. RIP to this beautiful young woman. 🙏🏻 https://t.co/SbgEyhoqpW

Wrestling, reality tv, movies, walking down the street minding your own damn business….IT DOESNT MATTER! Humans should care about each other, not project their own insecurities on others. Negative words and tweets, comments whatever…..they hurt. They affect ppl. https://t.co/VvmJRo2lSS

Ppl just really don’t understand the affect their words/jokes/energy/attacks have on others. Just because it can be distant or faceless doesn’t mean it is innocent or harmless.

ORIGINAL: Hana Kimura, best known for her work in the STARDOM promotion, has passed away at the age of 22.
Many people became concerned on Friday after Kimura posted some photos of self mutilation on Twitter. She said,
“Nearly 100 frank opinions every day. I couldn’t deny that I was hurt. I’m dead. Thank you for giving me a mother. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you to everyone who supported me. I love it. I’m weak, I’m sorry. I don’t want to be a human anymore. It was a life I wanted to be loved. Thank you everyone, I love you. Bye.”
She was often bullied on social media and it eventually led to her death, which has since been confirmed by STARDOM. Their statement (translated in English) says,
“Our company player Hana Kimura passed away today on May 23.
We apologize for the sudden concern and sorrow for our fans and all concerned.
Regarding the details, there are some parts that we have not yet grasped, so we will continue to cooperate with the investigation between the parties concerned.
We deeply pray for Hana Kimura’s life.”
