Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

More details are coming out between the feud between former AKB48 member Shinoda Mariko (36) and her estranged husband.

In February 2019, Shinoda got married in a “shotgun wedding” (a term for getting married super quick without dating) with a man she met and both had a love of “brown rice”. The TV talent gave birth to a baby girl in April 2020.

Rumors started to show up in August 2022 that Shinoda cheated on her husband and that he had left the home with the child.

The relationship turned sour as her husband being identified as “T-san” claimed that Shinoda had an affair, had proof and wanted custody of their daughter. He even took the daughter away and moved with his parents.

Shinoda was granted custody of their daughter and she has denied that she had an affair.

Audio was leaked to SNS influencer Takizawa Gareso of Shinoda of apologizing and even trying to threaten to kill herself, doing whatever she can to get her daughter back.

Meanwhile, T-san sued the man she was alleged to have an affair with.

This led to questions of how did Takizawa Gareso receive this leaked audio and is that lawful.

Jousei Prime did an investigation for an article and spoke to an attorney.

According to Masaki Ayao, the representative attorney of Your Ace Law Firm, the act of leaking the recordings of conversations between husband and wife by a third party may constitute an unlawful act.

“The act of leaking recorded content by a person who is not a party to the conversation is a serious violation of privacy, and may constitute an illegal act against the person who is speaking. It is possible that it will be established

“Shukan Jousei PRIME” has continued to interview people close to Shinoda since the beginning, although it is an “exposure attack” by T-san’s side that no longer has any consideration for privacy. The magazine succeeded in contacting a Shinoda family member.

“In the year following her marriage, Mariko began to consult with her family more and more about her marital relationship with T-san. But with him releasing things on SNS, now, she is full of regret, thinking how bad things have become.” (Shinoda’s family member)

In January, the magazine’s reporting team headed to a certain city in the Kyushu region in order to ascertain the truth about the alleged affair anwhat was revealed by a witness in one of the hotel rooms that was the interview location where the actual situation of “exorbitant money demands” made by T-san.

“Last December, T-san asked Mariko for 80 million yen (over $680,000 US) in alimony as a condition of the divorce. The email said, “I’m going to protect Mariko’s entertainment activities and mother business.” *Reasonable amount of money.”

Mariko felt the complete threat of “pay if you don’t want to be exposed’. Each time T-san’s demands were turned down, Mariko’s privacy was violated and more exposures were being made.

The emails forwarded through a third party continued with her husband’s idea that the amount would be reasonable considering the impact of the divorce-related story going public, future income and the trust of those around him. It is said that It was also reported that Shinoda’s side refused her request for money and decided to fight it in court.

When Jousei Prime asked Masaki-san, the above-mentioned lawyer, whether the content of the email sent from T-san through a third party was illegal.

“Generally speaking, even if the request is legitimate based on a legitimate right, a request with excessive content may fall under the crime of extortion or intimidation. From the text of the email, it seems that Shinoda is involved in performing arts activities. It can be read as saying “pay 80 million yen” in order to continue etc., so it may fall under the crime of intimidation. However, there is no sentence such as “disclose the recorded data” clearly . Therefore, it would be difficult to judge that it was extortion or threat based on this email alone”.

However, in addition to this e-mail, T-san requested money several times, but he has always ordered “not to let the lawyer intervene”, and furthermore, “before everything becomes public”. Before it was published in the magazine,” a note was added that foretold the revelation.

On December 28, Shinoda announced his first comment on Instagram regarding the series of disturbances.

“There is no fact that I had an affair. From now on, even if I stand in court, I will insist on that.

This was a declaration that she is now way she was going to settle on an unfair settlement and will fight it in court.
