It seems Kameha Con could not legally ban Vic Mignogna from attending because he had already signed a contract. If they attempted to do so, they would leave themselves wide-open for a lawsuit. The Dragon Ball-focused convention initially revealed that Mignogna's appearance had been canceled on February 02 but recently reversed course on March 22.
Mignogna, most famous for his work as Edward Elric in Fullmetal Alchemist, is currently embroiled in ongoing controversy surrounding what many perceive as inappropriate behavior with underage girls at conventions and unwanted physical interactions with his female peers while recording voice-overs.
Six voice actors and creators have canceled their appearance as a result of Mignogna's confirmed attendance, including Bulma voice actress Monica Rial, who previously spoke out and abetted claims of Mirgogna's misbehavior.
