DJ Soda expressed her anger after receiving secondary harassment online after she addressed the sexual assault she faced in Japan.

On August 14, DJ Soda took to her Instagram and explained, "No matter what clothes I wear, sexual harassment and assault cannot be justified. I've been wanting to say this for some time. Maybe it's obvious, but it took a lot of courage to say this. I'm not wearing revealing clothes to make people touch me and see my body."

She continued to write, "I know myself very well so I know what kind of clothes make me look pretty, which makes me feel confident and satisfied with it, so I wear the clothes I want to wear only for my own satisfaction. But they have no right to touch me or sexually harass me because I wear revealing clothes. What do people who say it happened because I wear revealing clothes usually think?"

She added, "I have the freedom to wear what I want to wear and no one can judge people by how we dress. My body is mine, not someone else's. I like to wear revealing clothes and I will continue to wear them. So, let's all live while wearing whatever we want without paying attention to people who interfere with our outfits!!"



Earlier, DJ Soda posted on Instagram explaining that she was sexually assaulted during a performance at the Osaka Music Circus Festival in Japan. She posted photos of the incident that showed certain individuals reaching out and grabbing her chest.

She wrote, "Hello, I need to announce a very important issue which happened today. I finished my performance at the Osaka Music Circus Festival in Japan today, and I was so shocked and scared that my hands are still shaking."

She continued explaining the situation: "In order to communicate more closely with the fans, I always get closer to the fans at the end of the gig. At that moment, not only one but also several people suddenly touched my chest and I was helplessly sexually harassed by them."

I feel bad for her. And the wtf is wrong with these people thinking it's okay to touch someone inappropriate. These people should go to jail or something, they're so messed up.

I agree with her 100%. People are being constantly judged by their appearance and the clothes they wear. What you wear don't define your personality.You should never judge a person by their outward appearance.
