Hannah Kobayashi Speaks Out After Returning to the US: 'My Focus Now Is on My Healing'

"My Healing."

Wow.

This chick could easily be the dumbest CUNT in the herstory of DUMB CUNTS.

What a selfish fucking whore.

[quote]as I navigate through this challenging time

So no words about her Dad committing suicide because he couldn't find her???

ME, MY, I.

Narcissistic cunt.

Your truth, your little arsewipe truth?!

I honestly hope she dies ASAP

“My creativity”? What about your dad? What a narcissistic cunt.

I hate this cunt.

She caused the suicide of her dad and all she can mention is her creativity? Vile cunt.

Let's hope she doesn't breed.

Truly a despicable person. Wow. What an unbelievable example of a completely useless human with absolutely no humanity to her and no redeemable value.

Hoping her entire family cuts her off and she's left to flail and "find her creativity" in utter poverty and destitution.

Let's hope she isn't on "Drew" next week.

She reminds me of Casey Anthony

The family had to have known she's a vapid twit. Hopefully Go FundMe will not pay them a dime.

(Go Fund Me)

They’re probably regretting trying to find her now

Huge chin.

Human garbage. Here is hoping she has a painful reckoning before dying a painful and bloody death.

Bat. Shit. Crazy.

Bullshit, R18.

She's not crazy.

In fact, she's a very TYPICAL female of her generation.

Entitled. Self-Centered. Selfish. Callous.Everything is about HER.

Get used to it, because there are a LOT more where she came from.

Isn't she going to be in trouble for the fake marriage scam?

There needs to be some kind of consequence.

This lying and crazy skank needs to pay a price for her psychotic, third world vacation. She essentially killed her own father.

[quote]On Monday, Dec. 16, Lt. Doug Oldfield, a member of the L.A. Police Department’s missing persons unit, confirmed to PEOPLE that police "received notification that Hannah Kobayashi crossed yesterday – 12/15/2024." Oldfield explained that Kobayashi's case is now closed, and she spoke with Customs and Border Protection and "presented herself for entry into the U.S.," adding that she "appeared to be in good health" and "did not appear to be under any distress."

Why did the LAPD have to be notified that this dunce "crossed yesterday"? The only thing she has to do with Los Angeles is that she flew in from Hawaii on her way to New York and deliberately missed her flight out of LAX, then wandered around for a couple of days before leaving the country. The case has been closed since she left. Hopefully she'll go back home and take her boring drama with her. Cops have enough to do without this twit getting more attention.

Oh, him, yeah - no worries

My dad was very selfish for killing himself.

He has no idea how much pain and stress he has caused me by his very selfish act.

My focus now is on MY healing, because of what my father has done to me.

Now please leave me and my GoFundMe account alone, while I spend this time recovering by the trauma my father has caused me.

I love you all!

-Hannah Kabayoshi

I wonder what kind of family she has where she would be driven to up and disappear like this. Maybe she's borderline. Maybe she's a narcissist. Or maybe the entire family is exhausting and can't stand to be around each other.

The father killing himself may be a sign that mental and emotional instability just runs in this entire family and we, the unwitting spectators, just got taken along for one of their many theatrical rides.

She does seem like a waste but the dad couldnt gave been wrapped too to tight if he offed himself because of her being missing. Based on all of the info that's come out it seems like it was pretty well known that she had disappeared on purpose so what exactly wasn't about her missing the stressed him to the point of him wanting to die.

R26, none of that excuses the fact that she is so cold and unfeeling in her "public statement," and makes no mention of her father or his passing.

That is just a cold hearted CUNT, no matter how you try to explain away her behavior.

I would bet dad had his own set of very colorful issues.

It’s possible he was estranged from the family and thought this was his big chance to insert himself back into their lives.

r28 Yeah. Let's not be so quick to cut dad some slack. We don't know what kind of person he was. I mean, she's half of that man's DNA. Something clearly stuck. I know they say we're not necessarily our parents but, much to my chagrin, as I've gotten older, I've learned that is absolute poppycock.

Put her in the cabinet!

She has that incredibly annoying smug-looking frown-smile

Oh stfu about trump in every thread

She wins the Biggest, Most Selfish Cunt award.

I hope she can manage her "healing" while reimbursing the police who spent hundreds of thousands of dollars looking for her.

My focus is on driving my mother to suicide next

Hannah is the "cuntiness cunt who have ever cunted"

Totally selfish Cunt, she planned the whole thing. She needs to be charged with something, other than being a "total Cunt"

Sounds like a spoiled brat.

No mention of her dead dad in her "healing" statement.

She's a cunt, all right.

Now we know why her mother wasn't seen anywhere during this whole "missing person" story.

I don't think there's even one photo of the mother online.

The mother definitely knew what was up.

How is she not being hounded by the media right now?

You would think that they would be chasing her down for an interview.

The tabloids love this kind of shit.

I think the Luigi story stole her thunder.

If my kid went missing the last thing I'd want to do is die. Something was clearly off with him, and probably long before Hannah took a trip.

She and her family are a bunch of self absorbed, grifting narcissists.

Her father's issues were obviously older and deeper than anything to do with his daughter's latest shenanigans.

"focus on my creativity", what does that mean? So she can concoct her next scheme?

She's going to get a free trip to NYC to be on one of the morning shows so she can cry alongside her lawyer and spew new agey word salad deflecting all responsibility. They will put her up in a deluxe hotel, fancy dinner and Broadway show tickets. Maybe she can ice skate at Rockefeller Center to help with her "healing".

She’ll be healing after I kick her ass!

They'll also make her out to be the "victim."

Because of her being female, and all.

It was all the man's fault! Her father. Her ex-boyfriend. Her illegal Argentinian husband looking for a green card.

And she was completely innocent.

Fucking dumb bitch.

Her friends at the smoke shop she worked at said she was heavily into psychedelics. A burnout with some likely serious delusional systems.

Shut up girl, and go home.

Yeah, don't much care about her "healing process," but I still think the furious reaction is pretty funny itself. A bunch of people threw themselves into some big stupid drama that had absolutely nothing to do with them, and now they're pissed that the drama didn't end with a corpse in the desert or maybe a sex den in Mexico. Instead it ended with a dumb bitch who went on some kind of bender or some kind of psychotic nonsense. Well, too bad. That doesn't mean anyone gets arrested or you get to sue somebody. Sorry, sometimes things are just stupid and you don't get to punish somebody for the stupidity of it all.

And I don't think anybody needs to give back any money. You gave because you wanted to be part of the drama, and you were. Now it's over. Fuck off and accept the loss.

R49 The police departments that searched for her, funded by taxpayers, should be repaid for their work.

We tend to get a bit angry when we see our tax dollars going to waste looking for stupid cunts like Hannah.

“I’m tired guys, I just need to be creative!” 🤡

The police were paid for their work. They investigated something that seemed like it might be a crime and wasn't. That happens sometimes. It's not actually against the law for an adult to run away from their family. There is no crime here, and nobody to sue. She's an asshole, but that in itself isn't a crime even if our hyperlitigious society would like it to be.

Nobody to charge, nobody to sue. That's just how it is sometimes.

R52 Thanks for visiting DL, Hannah's sister.

R53 Not true.

If you become lost in the mountains by your own fault, for example when wandering beyond the designated areas, then - in some resorts - the costs of search and recovery might be recovered from you.

If you go missing at home (in a city/town) and your family members report you as such, then it's discovered that you've left willingly, the police costs for tracking you down are part of their "service," but depending on locality, some jurisdictions have rules on recovering costs for unnecessary work, and in some jurisdictions, legal action can be taken to recover costs.

The people unrelated to her who got wrapped up in this were morons. Get a life, people.

Yuck. She should've been beheaded by a Mexican cartel.

She needs a bitch slap upside the head and to knock her on the ass several times.

Fuck this entitled, narcissistic bitch. I bet we next get some asinine statement from her where she talks about "holding space" for her "grieving" - and that she and her father never had a relationship anyway.

I hope she can't get a job anywhere, INCLUDING and ESPECIALLY a smoke shop. And also gets prosecuted for green card/immigration fraud (or whatever they call it). Her misdeeds and misinformation shouldn't go unpunished, especially when it resulted in the suicide of a relative who was devastated about her disappearance, regardless of his own mental health struggles. She definitely holds responsibility in that, as well the immigration fraud.

Her ex must feel so relieved

To be away from her

If I had a daughter like her I’d kill myself too.

The ex-BF was supposed to do a green card marriage, too, I thought. He was supposed to marry the GF of Hannah's green card husband. What a group of grifters.

Something tells me things won't go well for her. Just a hunch.

[quote] And I don't think anybody needs to give back any money. You gave because you wanted to be part of the drama, and you were. Now it's over. Fuck off and accept the loss.

But it'll hurt future fundraisers for people who ACTUALLY go missing.

This cunt ruins it for EVERYONE.

[quote]And I don't think anybody needs to give back any money. You gave because you wanted to be part of the drama, and you were. Now it's over. Fuck off and accept the loss.

I assume most people give to GoFundMe out of the goodness of their heart. This family probably knew their daughter/sister/niece was a spacey oddball yet they involved police and asked the public for monetary help. Doubt anyone would have actually given money to help someone who was conducting a scam and was never truly missing. Seems the money was raised on false pretenses and of course it should be returned.

Absolutely no one would have cared about this story at all if she wasn't young and hot, and I agree with the above posters who say the hysterics over this "case" are beyond MARY at this point. No one here knows this chick's dad from Adam and yet are ready to draw blood just because he went and threw himself off a balcony over his long-estranged daughter going MIA for a few days. She hadn't talked to him for years and maybe for good reason. For all we know he was an abusive POS and she's glad he's dead.

Yes, adults DO have the right to fuck off for a few weeks and go off the map. It's not a crime. She didn't pull a Sherri Papini. She didn't ask to be looked for. She didn't even know she was reported as missing. Her father and aunt seem like exhausting drama queens.

R65 Hi, Hannah. Thanks for visiting DL.

When are you gonna pay back all that money that was spent to look for your crazy ass?

[quote]Hi, Hannah...When are you gonna pay back all that money that was spent to look for your crazy ass?

I don't think she should be obliged to pay back the money solicited by her family any more than the police need have pursued the case after classifying her as a "voluntary missing person.'

A goofy bitch who speaks in riddles and Instagram-babble about healing and stroking creativity healing powers isn't in itself a crime. Nor is it criminally suspicious activity for abductees under duress to do a 'photo shoot' of a 'fashion event' then buy some books at a Taschen bookstore at The Grove. Once the police had made some inquiries and determined her status voluntary, what's left for them to do?

Even if her motherś first question after 'did you make it to New York' was to ask if her daughter had been 'catfished by that guy,' I understand the family seeking official help in trying to determine her whereabouts, but what more can be done than make some initial inquiries? Some of her messages indicate that she was worried that people were 'trying to steal her identity' and others chided her mother to back off and let her chase after love and follow her feelings, and that she needs space for her spiritual journey.

At some point it becomes clear it's a personal choice on the part of a 'missing' adult who police determined had intentionally missed her NYC flight, and who had expressed a desire to "step away from modern connectivity" and who met an ex-boyfriend somewhere in the mix (who continued on to NYC as he had planned.)

People flying to California from Japan, launching GoFundMe sites to provide water and supplies for searchers... Searchers where ? The Fucking Grove? A soundproof room beneath the Taschen shop? It was determined early on that she crossed by foot into Mexico on December 12, one day after she failed to make her connection.

The hysteria over a wacky bitch whose mother thought was being catfished, again, is ridiculous. But the GoFundMe, the father committing suicide, they crazy friends trying to divine the hidden meaning of the word 'hun' in a text message is't really her fault. It's not a crime to go incognito. She seems a fucking mess, but welcome to America. She's nothing special in that respect.

You're a fucking idiot, R67.

I can't believe you're actually trying to defend this dumb cunt, and trying to convince people that what she did is okay.

It's not.

She's a fucking brain dead twat whose father killed himself BECAUSE OF HER. No matter how you try to spin it.

How bizarre that you feel compelled to defend her. You must have done something equally heinous, and you're trying to justify both yours and her behavior.

R67 I'm glad to see you're exploring your creativity, Hannah.

I don’t believe the father committed suicide because he couldn’t find her.

[quote] I don’t believe the father committed suicide because he couldn’t find her.

Okay, Q.

You, and RFK Jr., and Aaron Rodgers.

You don’t know WHY he killed himself.

She's obviously a stupid cunt concerned only with her own dramas. My point is that reading between the lines it would appear that her mother has had some prior experience with her daughter chasing after her impulses (granted it's experience from which she evidently learned little.)

The people around the impulsive palindrome disregarded good sense and jumped on the GoFundMe machine to make the hysteria. I think we can be reasonably sure that our Hannah has chased after other things impulsively. Maybe she's even bought a too expensive Taschen book before without informing everyone beforehand.

Hannah cares about healing and her art and Hannah. There's no reason to make a fucking circus out if it, or for her estranged father to fly from Japan to jump off a balcony.

I don't see any qualities to Hannah, but I think that adults have the right to go chase after some cock for a while, or enlightenment, or a way to increase IG likes from here usual 25 or so.

The police seem to have sized it up pretty quickly. The rest of the circus is down to stupid people who assume hysterical outcomes.

[quote] She's a fucking brain dead twat whose father killed himself BECAUSE OF HER.

R68 Won't somebody think of the estranged fathers with mental problems! SHRIEK!

"I was unaware of everything that was happening in the media while I was away, and I am still processing it all."

She wasn't aware of the manhunt for her? Fucking lying bitch. Her family was blowing up her phone, sending texts and emails. You gonna tell me she just turned her phone off for a month?

I want this bitch in prison for SOMETHING. You don't put your family and our LEO resources through this and say 'whoopsie'.

Dude - you better NOT be coming to family Christmas this year. She had ample opportunity to text back and say - hey, I'm cool - don't worry just taking a trip. But no - she was giggling her ass off reading the stories about her.

R75 My understanding was that she left her phone in California right from the start and crossed to Mexico without it. The quote I read was that she wanted to go "off the grid". Obviously, I can't possibly know if that is actually true or not, but that is the story she gave.

R70 I've been wondering if there isn't more to it than that also. It hadn't been determined she was dead or that anything bad had happened to her. Perhaps he thought something was going to come out implicating him (the reason she was choosing to go "no contact") or he was feeling very guilty about something. It seems suspect for a parent to commit suicide simply because their adult daughter is missing and while the search is continuing.

R76 - no Millennial or Gen Z is going without their phone for 30 days - and where would she 'leave' it in California? Some mysterious California cell phone drop off box?

How do you just leave your phone somewhere you're not from for 30 days?

Bitch is lying! So much stuff is on your phone. You telling me she never ONCE checked her emails either?

She's a crazy lying bitch - and yes I'm calling here a bitch because there's no way on Earth she could have not known about this.

Why do I feel like R75/ R78 had a mother who went out to get a pack of cigarettes and never came home when he was a child?

R78 I think it's unusual, but far from impossible for someone to disconnect for 30 days. This is especially true if she is one of those "trying to find herself" people. I actually know someone who did this for 2 weeks, but she let others know she would be unreachable so as not to worry.

Why do I feel like R79 is a MASSIVE CUNT in real life, that everyone despises?

Just like Hannah.

R78 "How do you just leave your phone somewhere you're not from for 30 days?"

I've used these kinds of places myself. Perhaps she stored her phone along with anything else she didn't want to carry. She could have also easily gotten a cheap phone/Mexican sim card if she felt the need. I don't know how any of us complete strangers could know her mindset and what she would or wouldn't do.

I doubt that she was totally off-line during the month or so she was “missing.”

When she “went missing” in DTLA, I thought she’d turn up dead.

Her father probably had existing issues. Combine that with combing DTLA, guilty feelings about the daughter, and lack of sleep. I’m guessing he thought she was dead.

The sister was a grifter. The aunt was enjoying the spotlight.

But here's the thing - she didn't tell her family. She was supposed to fly to New York.

That's why they were freaked out - she didn't get on the plane to NY and she didn't let anyone know where she was. If you want to 'disconnect' - fine. But as a single woman traveling by herself, her family was rightfully freaked out when she didn't reply and didn't land in her destination.

Why was she hanging out in the shitty areas of LA? Did she do some kind of reverse drug-mule across into Mexico?

She and her family's need for privacy right now can fuck the right off.

Some of her last texts before she went quiet - how do you send these and then go AWOL and expect people not to worry? Matrix Underworld shit?

I'll agree that she definitely did the wrong thing. She should have let someone (family/friend) know that she wanted to disappear for a month. That said, I don't think that what she did was illegal and I don't see how she would be, in any way, legally responsible for the cost of the search. Adults are not required to maintain contact with their parents or siblings.

R86 - that may be true, but not old enough for a severe ass beating and grounding her to her room for a few months.

You don't just not show up at a job in NY (remember - she had a photography gig), not meet up with family in NY, miss your flight, send freaky texts about Matrix level stuff going on, then 'find yourself' in the roughest areas of LA and Tijuana.

I hope her family beat her ass good.

I don’t think she was on good terms with anyone in her family. If she was on good terms with at least one person, she could have told that person: hey i am okay, tell everyone to leave me alone.

I think she got bamboozled by the green card guy. The cryptic texts were cryptic b/c it was an illegal thing to begin with. This was like a drug deal gone wrong. Who can you turn to for help? Not the cops.

The narcissistic things she’s saying sound a lot like the insufferable Meghan Markle.

Can someone explain to me like I'm 5 what exactly the details of the supposed green card scam was between the four of them? Any article I've seen just vaguely mentions a "possible green card scam" that implicated both Hannah and her ex bf with no explanation of what the actual arrangement was.

Was the other couple traveling with H and the ex Mexican? Did she really love the undocumented guy but then found out he was just using her so she ditched him, the ex, and the other woman and went to Mexico instead because she was so distraught/humiliated? Did she become concerned she'd be charged with something and so ditched her phone and went to Mexico out of paranoia? Or was the arrangement that she'd be the one marrying the Mexican guy in Mexico in order to get citizenship there but then found out he'd stolen her identity? Like, what the hell was the story there?

Youre overcomplicating things.

She was supposed to get paid to get married to the guy who wanted a green card. Sound like she fell in love and ended up not getting paid.

R91 Yes, but it sounds like her ex bf was also going to marry the undocumented guy's similarly undocumented partner or ex partner? So did this couple scam both Hannah and her ex?

Did Hannah actually end up marrying him before she took off?

Didn't her father kill himself when given the news of her "disappearance"? what an entitled twat.

[quote]Why was she hanging out in the shitty areas of LA?

Maybe i missed sine locations in her LA exploits, but hanging out in a Philippe Starck designed bookstore in The Grove may be of dubious taste but it doesn't sound high among the dangerous things one could do in the city.

[quote] [R91] Yes, but it sounds like her ex bf was also going to marry the undocumented guy's similarly undocumented partner or ex partner? So did this couple scam both Hannah and her ex?

R92, yes, reportedly, the ex-BF was going to do a green card marriage with the undocumented guy's real GF. There was more corroboration in the news re: Hannah's scam marriage, so I only mentioned that scam.

If the ex-BF got scammed, he didn't go into a tailspin about it. He continued on, from LAX, to NY.

[quote]Why do I feel like [R75]/ [R78] had a mother who went out to get a pack of cigarettes and never came home when he was a child?

The best deductive reasoning in this case, R79. There does seem to be at least who has a thirst for blood -- or spanking, or home detention, or a sound beating. All for an adult who certainly sounds like an up-her-own-ass high drama cunt who did nothing illegal more than turn her phone off and walk to Mexico for a few weeks. Inconsiderate. Not illegal.

I don't think Hannah is the only high drama member of her family. From her mother's text messages, this doesn't seem to be a unique deviation in her Hannah-ness, but rather another episode of her petulance (irksome, worrisome, maybe, not illegal.) This wasn't the first time she went headstrong into asserting herself and chasing a little drama and/or cash and/or adventure (healing, soul searching, artistic journey...).

Quite possibly Hannah haik's from a family of hysterics not a little accustomed to her playing the victim and dropping off the grid when her scheming trajectories went wrong, once again.

Fascinating. Or not. But a relatively minor police investigation that quickly turned up that the adult subject did not seem to be under any danger not of her own choice.

R86 See R54

Just because what she did wasn't illegal, it doesn't necessarily mean she's off the hook.

Lock her up!

Lock her up!

Does anyone have any links about the green card marriage scams? That's the first I've heard of it - but that makes a lot more sense.

She was up to something illegal, so she doesn't want to admit to anything.

[post redacted because linking to dailymail.co.uk clearly indicates that the poster is either a troll or an idiot (probably both, honestly.) Our advice is that you just ignore this poster but whatever you do, don't click on any link to this putrid rag.]

Here's the article about the green card marriage and love square with ex-BF dating green card husband's real GF.

R100 - thank you - oh God. It's worse than I thought. So all this time they painted her out to be some photographer and visiting family in NY, when she was a drug addict, worked at a head shop and was part of a green card scam - and all her friends knew?

Why didn't this come out sooner?

I love how Desiree, her friend and co-worker at the smoke/head shop, just gave up ALL the dirt. I'm picturing her as this young black woman who doesn't have time for this bullshit and was pissed off by all the fake news and reporting on it.

Everyone, give Desiree a round of applause! Somehow there should still be some charges - even plotting a green card scam seems like an offense, no?

Did her father molest her?

Is she a lezzie?

Drug-induced psychotic break. How vanilla.

[quote]You don't just not show up at a job in NY (remember - she had a photography gig), not meet up with family in NY, miss your flight, send freaky texts about Matrix level stuff going on, then 'find yourself' in the roughest areas of LA and Tijuana.

As suspected: fake as fuck. 99% of everyone with an Instagram account thinks he or she is a professional photographer. She wasn't a professional photographer any more than she was a sought after mandala (Etch-a-Sketch) artist, and no one was paying to fly her in from her dirt road in Hawaii to a professional shoot in NYC (where I believe they also have photographers who can do a passable 'moody girl giving a sideways look from a field of high grasses, wildflowers, and halated sun rings.')

The mother, the sister, her co-workers at the weed shop, everybody and his brother knew about her green card wedding scam. Yet the family let people think that dangerous foreign factions might be involved in some sort of mind control/abduction plot; and it was they who instigated a GoFundMe campaign. Of course it wasn't an abduction, it was just Hannah having a little fit (and neither her first nor last) when confronted by too many boyfriends, fake boyfriends and their current girlfriends. Worse, she realized that the second $15,000 she was expecting for the immigration scam was not forthcoming -- surely the financial foundation of dream destination NYC trip where the only photoshoot was to be some bogus photos with her new $30,000 Argentine husband. When her plan fell to pieces, she stormed off to Mexico in a huff and punished her tormentors by spending a month fucking any nomadic hippie would would give her a beer.

A young woman 'imperilled in the world' by her own greed and anger, and her family completely onto the plot.

Is the hot Argentian man with $30,000 still looking for a marriage? Asking for a friend.

“Photographer” was a nice way of saying “unemployed,” although she did work at the head shop. Like calling someone a “model” because they post photos of themselves on IG.

Not sure why this was a mystery for so long when the head shop coworkers were chatty and they knew all about the green card marriage, drug use, etc.

That still leaves the question of why dad was so dustraught. Seems like she had a history of flakiness.
