Anri Sakaguchi expresses distress following supermarket incident

Former talent and current live streamer Anri Sakaguchi has posted distressing messages on social media, including claims of being in a ‘living hell’ and expressing a desire to ‘disappear.’

The controversy follows a live stream on the platform Fuwatchi, where Sakaguchi was observed at a supermarket in Osaka. During the broadcast, a store employee approached her to address an issue regarding an uncompleted payment. The incident, which occurred while Sakaguchi was staying at a hotel provided by another streamer, led to criticism online, with some viewers noting the potential for legal complications if items had been taken without payment.

Sakaguchi has a history of legal issues, including a shoplifting arrest in March that resulted in no indictment, and a self-confessed physical altercation with another streamer in September. Her recent social media posts suggest she feels targeted and misled by those around her, describing her current situation as being ‘passed around’ and subject to mockery.
