He said she attempted suicide just after Mother's Day in Japan (May 8), which coincides with when he started tweeting about all of this on May 10. My guess is that the tension with NJPW has been brewing for a while, but after the situation with his mother (some of which Ibushi is blaming on the stress of what's happening between him and NJPW) he decided to go public with everything. You can understand his stress and anger and why he's raging in public when you look at it from that angle.
I hope that Ibushi can find some peace in all of this though, even if it means leaving NJPW and wrestling to find it.

NJPW will have a press conference at 9pm (Japan time so in an hour and a half) about Ibushi, with Kidani (Bushiroad) and Ohbari (NJPW).

Sounds like NJPW are taking the hit and will hopefully give Ibushi the time and support he needs. There's a few things in there that are clearly cultural that I don't understand, but I just hope Ibushi can heal up and get to a better place.

Yeah everything about that was one big giant "We're sorry" and whoever sent Ibushi those texts got ethered into the void lmfao
All the right things were said here. I just hope Ibushi can recover well and that his Mom is ok, because holy shit this situation almost lead to Ibushi losing his mother, which I also assume lead to New Japan taking the L on this one, it was very close to getting very worse.

Sounds like he wasn't satisfied with the way they addressed the situation with his mother, I dunno, they mentioned it but maybe not the way he wanted.

Yeah, unless Ibushi has something way more specific to say (like Kikuchi and his mother got in contact and that influenced her or something), I'm not really sure what could be said on NJPW's part in this conference.
Also, wouldn't be surprised if Kikuchi gets the Director Ton treatment from Aggretsuko S4 inside Bushiroad.
