Yua Mikami recently grabbed attention again on social media after posting an unboxing video
The clip was meant to be a casual share, capturing her excitement opening a favorite new purchase. But it unexpectedly triggered criticism from some netizens, mostly focused on her past in the adult film industry. Facing harsh attacks, Yua Mikami responded directly, quickly drawing even more attention from the online community.
Even after retiring, Yua Mikami keeps a strong fanbase.
She has focused on building her personal brand, working in fashion, advertising, and business. She also stays active with fans on platforms like YouTube, Instagram, and X (Twitter). Notably, she surprised fans by joining the cheer squad for a professional basketball team, marking a new chapter after leaving the industry that made her famous.
In the new video, Yua Mikami excitedly shares buying a luxury handbag she’d wanted for a long time. In a cheerful mood, she casually shows off the bag’s design, shares her personal thoughts, and explains why she decided to splurge on this item. The video has a relaxed, vlog-style vibe common among YouTubers.
But shortly after it went up, negative comments started pouring in. Some accused her of flaunting wealth, while others sarcastically claimed the money came from her past use of sex appeal. These remarks quickly sparked controversy.
Yua Mikami didn’t stay silent. She replied directly in the comments with a straightforward message, saying no matter how she earns her money, it’s through her own hard work. She said no one has the right to judge or gossip. Her strong response instantly grabbed viewers’ attention and heated up the comment section.
Many fans defended her, saying it’s normal to reward yourself after hard work. They argued her past career shouldn’t be used as an excuse to attack or dismiss her current efforts.
However, after a short while, Yua Mikami deleted her reply. When a viewer later searched for the comment and wondered why it disappeared, they expressed confusion since many critics were targeting the comment section. Yua Mikami briefly confirmed the controversial comment was removed.
