I saw her TV interview, it was the most awkward interview I've ever seen. She looked very very nervous and wanting to cry at many points.
They even showed her 'fat' picture with a little window showing her reaction (As well as a mock up of the whole affair walk-in incident)
I guess to make it back in Japan showbusiness, you must be prepared to be humiliated many times over to ever get back.
She's brave to put herself through that. I think I'd have broken down crying or ran out the studio. She's a fighter! I still like Mari
