What is going on with this scandal between Degawa Tetsuro, Marie and Shimada Shinsuke?

There is currently a scandal involving popular comedian/TV host Degawa Tetsuro, the model Marie and Shimada Shinsuke.

On April 4th, Marie (33) posted on Instagram and said when she was 18 she was asked to have a sexual relationship by Shimada Shinsuke (65).  Degawa Tetsuro (57) who was present at the meeting (along with the comedians of Yarusenasu) reportedly encouraged Marie to have a physical relationship with Shimada.  When she refused, she wasn’t able to appear on the program with Shimada”.

The topic of “Makura Eigyo” (Pillow Business) has become a popular topic on SNS this week.

Ishii Kota of Yarusenasu released a statement through Watanabe Entertainment, “The other day, a female talent discussed live on SNS was facts.  I was present and can confirm that there is no fact that was mentioned in the SNS live”.

Maseki Geinosha released a statement denying Marie’s claims. The president of the agency, Seki Hideo, announced, “The other day, when I asked Degawa about what the female talent said in a live broadcast on SNS, he once attended a show where a lot of performers, office staff, program staff were together after the program was recorded.  There was no meal held in private and what the person stated is not fact”.

Shimada Shinsuke retired in 2011 after Shukan Gendai ran an article titled “Shimada, You are a Gangster” saying the actor worked with organized crime members to negotiate real estate transactions.
