宝塚歌劇団、パワハラ認める　否定一転、謝罪意向も―団員急死、遺族側弁護士が会見

　宝塚歌劇団（兵庫県宝塚市）の宙組に所属していた女性団員（２５）が昨年９月に急死した問題で、遺族側の代理人弁護士が２７日、東京都内で記者会見し、歌劇団側が「多くの行為がパワハラに当たる」と認め、謝罪の意向を示したと明らかにした。歌劇団側はこれまでパワハラを否定していたが、一転して認める形となった。
　歌劇団側は昨年１１月に公表した調査報告書で、「いじめやハラスメントは確認できなかった」としていた。これに対し遺族側は、上級生が故意に高温のヘアアイロンを女性の額に押し当てるなど少なくとも１５項目のパワハラがあったとする意見書を提出し、謝罪を求めた。（2024/02/27-19:49）

Japanese musical theater company Takarazuka Revue has admitted that a member who died last year was subjected to power harassment, a lawyer for the bereaved family said Tuesday.
   According to the lawyer, Takarazuka Revue has indicated its readiness to apologize. The all-female musical theater company had consistently denied power harassment.
   In a report released last November, Takarazuka Revue did not recognize any bullying or harassment through probes that followed the death of the 25-year-old member of the company, based in the western city of Takarazuka.
   In response to the report, the bereaved family submitted a statement claiming that there were at least 15 counts of power harassment against the deceased member, including one instance where a senior member had purposefully pressed a hot hair iron against the member's forehead.
   The bereaved family also asked for an apology.
