Nijisanji has issued an official statement after the claims of inappropriate behavior by Aster Arcadia went viral and fans wonder whether a lawsuit will be filed.
Reports of Aster Arcadia harassing people started in February 2024. The supposed proof was perceived as hearsay by many fans, so it didn’t gain much traction. None of the victims came forward publicly and there was no more chatter about his behavior. For the next few months, the incident was swept under the rug. All that changed when an unnamed victim reached out to FalseEyeD. The vtuber news reporter made a video about the accusations regarding Aster Arcadia that has since gone viral. Many people claimed that Aster went missing from social media after the allegations came to the limelight.
In light of this news, Nijisanji has stated the ongoing allegations will be investigated. Fans wonder whether the accused will be punished if proven guilty.
The vtuber agency stated that an independent third party will investigate the allegations so the findings are impartial.
