Comedians Concerned About Jungle Pocket’s Shinji Saito and His Lying Habit
According to the aforementioned reporter.
“Saito is currently living separately from his wife and child. Seto’s claims are based on information he had previously explained to her. She was conveying what she heard from her husband.”
It is said.
Amidst all this, fellow comedians who know Saito are reportedly feeling a sense of unease.
He was also warned by the agency’s executives regarding debt issues.
“No one speaks ill of Saito as a comedian. On the other hand, his relationships with women and spending habits have always been precarious. He stepped down from a show due to past infidelity reports, yet he messed up again this time, right? He had been joking around with those close to him, saying, ‘I’m done with women’ and ‘I have a family now, so I need to be more careful.’ Hearing that, his fellow comedians were disheartened by this incident, thinking, ‘Was it all a lie…'”
Saito, known as a gambling fanatic who serves as the MC for a horse racing program, had borrowed money from numerous unspecified comedian friends. Unable to stand by and watch, executives from Yoshimoto Kogyo told Saito.
“Be careful.”
seemingly unaffected, Saito.
“I’ve already quit gambling.”
It was said that he would often talk like this.
“Of course, that’s a complete lie. Saito has a habit of lying, you know. Getting caught and then scolded is his usual pattern,” said a person in the comedy industry who knows Saito.
In this incident, a reporter from Bunshun sensed Saito’s anomaly and confronted him over the phone, but Saito responded regarding the women’s troubles.
“Eh? Is that kind of story circulating?”
“There’s absolutely no such thing.”
He responded with that.
The aforementioned comedian colleague stated,
“That’s why there’s a possibility that what Saito told his wife has been interpreted to suit his convenience. I want Saito to tell the truth.”
He says.
If he were to be indicted, Saito would become a defendant in a criminal trial, and if found guilty, he would likely face incarceration. To avoid this, reaching a settlement with the victim is essential, but will that go smoothly?
