A photo of kissing an F1 racer… Jessica Michibata “grumpy if it’s not her favorite staff” episode of glory and arrogance.

A black van with a blue curtain dividing the back seat came out of the Harajuku Police Station of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Believed to be in the vehicle was Jessica Michibata, 38, a model who was arrested on suspicion of violating the Narcotics Special Measures Law for smuggling the synthetic drug MDMA into Japan.

On April 5, Jessica was released amidst the press, suspected of possessing MDMA with her husband, a U.S. citizen, at a hotel in Tokyo on March 18. Her husband had admitted to the charge, saying that there was no doubt about it, but Jessica had denied it.

The urine test results were negative for both husband and wife; their 10-day detention was extended and the investigation continued, but as the deadline approached, they were released pending disposition.” Jessica’s agency posted a comment on its official website. We apologize once again for the trouble we have caused you,” said a reporter from a national newspaper.

In an article distributed on March 23, “FRIDAY Digital” introduced Jessica’s “arrogance episode” when she was at the peak of her career as a popular model. We would like to reproduce the article and introduce her glory and rare character (some contents have been modified).

I can’t drink because I reek of alcohol.

Her fall from glory.

Jessica, who had reached the height of her glory as a very popular model, was arrested. She is suspected of possessing MDMA. How in the world did this happen? We would like to go back to her “glory days” to find out.

What kind of model was she in her prime (around ’10)? One of the staff members on the photo shoot at the time recalls, “She was just so radiant and arrogant.

When I was working with her, she was so sought after that there was probably no women’s magazine that she didn’t appear in. She was very popular among readers, and in fact, the issues with her on the cover sold well. That said, she was also a bit arrogant.

The hardest thing was to choose the right staff. She only wanted to work with people she liked, but if she couldn’t get her favorite stylist or photographer, she would get into a very bad mood. She would often get angry at some point and stop the shoot.

But the pictures were always great. I am sure that her eccentric personality was a source of her charm.

In fact, during the course of the interview, episodes that would surprise even foreign celebrities came up one after another.

When we were filming her, we had to prepare yogurt for breakfast. But the yogurt she wanted to eat changed depending on her mood that day, so she prepared several kinds of yogurt: with fruit, sugar-free, and Greek yogurt ……. I remember that she was very particular about what else she ate and was extremely careful” (another film crew member).

“Before the fashion show event, wine was served backstage as an economic stimulus. Everyone said, ‘Let’s make a toast! But even then, I remember people saying, ‘No champagne?　I can’t drink this stuff because it reeks of alcohol. But after the stage was over, he said, “I’m thirsty! I laughed at him. It was hilarious.

A staff member of a women’s magazine recalls the days when Jessica was active.

At the time, there was a boom in the popularity of Paris Hilton, who was a boisterous celebrity, and it was a time when being selfish was more valuable than being selfish. With this background, there were many other models who took things at their own pace. Among them, she was by far the best (laugh).

Looking back on it now, everyone was energetic and vigorous. Magazines were still selling well at that time, and it was a very energetic and rewarding experience. That is why, if this incident is true, I am so sad to see what happened to her.

Recently, Jessica had been based in Hawaii and had not been doing any significant entertainment activities in Japan. The road to regaining her glory as a model seems to be a very difficult one.
