Ryoko Hirosue’s office protests TBS “All-Star After Party”, calling it “extremely inappropriate” and “extremely defamatory”.

　Actress Ryoko Hirosue (45)’s agency updated its official website by 9, protesting the content of TBS “All-Star Later Night Festival ’25 Autumn,” which was broadcast late at night on April 4. The company released a document titled “[Notice] Inappropriate Broadcasting on TBS Programs. The report stated, “Inappropriate content regarding Ryoko Hirosue, a member of our company, was broadcast on TBS TV’s “All-Star Later Night Festival ’25 Autumn,” which was aired on October 4, 2025. The inappropriate content included the question, “Who has never reached a speed of 165 km/h? The quiz question was “Who has never gone 165 km/h?” with a picture of the celebrity in question, and a performer said, “Ms. Hirosue was reportedly going 165 km/h when she caused the accident. However, the information on which this statement was based was not released by any public agency, and the police investigation into the accident is still ongoing,” he added, We believe that it is extremely inappropriate for a person involved in news reporting and broadcasting to treat the case as a subject of laughter under such circumstances, and that it is an act that is extremely defamatory of the person himself and those involved. We have therefore sent a content-certified letter dated October 6, 2025 to TBS Television Inc. demanding a formal protest and measures to restore their reputation. We also demand that the same conduct not be repeated in the future,” the company announced. The freedom of the press and expression should be respected, but it goes without saying that expression that infringes on the dignity and human rights of others is not permissible. We will continue to take necessary actions in good faith and in an appropriate manner to protect the rights and honor of the talents belonging to our company. In the “All-Star Post-event,” MC Kazumi Takayama asked, “Who among the following has never reached a speed of 165 km/h? When the four choices of “1 Shohei Otani,” “2 Akira Sasaki,” “3 Hideki Irabu,” and “4 Ryoko Hirosue” were displayed as the answers, the studio was puzzled. The correct answer was “3, Hideki Irabu,” and when Takayama explained that “Mr. Hirosue was reportedly driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee at 165 km/h when he caused the accident,” the studio laughed and applauded.
