A mom who previously worked in the adult entertainment industry has revealed that her son was a victim of school bullying, prompting netizens to blame the issue on her career.
Recently, Japanese pornstar Sola Aoi disclosed on her social media that her son suffered from school bullying and asked for help.
However, as the story spread online, some Japanese netizens criticized her by mentioning her past profession. One netizen even commented, “If a mom is an AV actress, I would have kept my kids from playing with theirs.”
In response to the unexpected backlash, Sola Aoi deleted the post and issued an additional statement. She emphasized, “The incident where my child was hit by a ball from an upper-grade student has nothing to do with my profession.” She clearly distanced the harm her son faced from her career.
She continued, “Articles spreading about my child being bullied because his parent is an AV actress are being interpreted in completely false ways based on malicious headlines without even reading the content.”
Her frustration seemed to stem from the focus shifting to controversy around her past profession rather than the original intention of revealing her son’s victimization and seeking help. She pointed out that the sensational headlines and focus on personal occupation are obscuring the true nature of the issue.
However, the debate among Japanese netizens continues. Opinions clash between those who believe Sora Aoi’s past profession could affect her child’s social relations and those who argue that a child should never be targeted for bullying because of a parent’s occupation.
Some argue that the focus should remain on the harm the son suffered, separate from the mother’s past career. They claim it is unfair to hold prejudice against or blame a child based on their parents’ history or profession.
With Sora Aoi publicly addressing the issue, ongoing online debates are keeping attention on the incident her son faced and the family as a whole.
Meanwhile, Sora Aoi debuted as an AV actress in 2003 and gained widespread popularity across Asia, also holding a large domestic male fan base. She retired in 2010, married DJ NON in 2018, and gave birth to twin boys in 2019.
