Shohei Ohtani refuses interview post World Series win with Japanese TV that leaked his new home address: Reports

Most of the time, Shohei Ohtani won't say no to an interview. But he does remember to not entertain those who hurt his private life.

On Wednesday, Ohtani won his first World Series title with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who signed him to a blockbuster 10-year, $700 million contract ahead of the season. After Walker Buehler struck out Alex Verdugo for the series-clinching Game 5 win, all Dodgers players including Ohtani ran to the ground in celebration.

Amid the celebration, Fuji TV of Japan wanted to interview Ohtani. However, as seen in a video on Reddit, Ohtani allegedly shrugged its reporter off.

This is the moment that Shohei allegedly refused post game interview request from Fuji TV, one of the Japanese TV networks that reported on Shohei's new home byu/peachypal inbaseball

The Reddit post says it might have to do something with the TV network revealing Ohtani's new home address in California.

Shohei Ohtani forced to sell home after Nippon TV and Fuji TV leaked Dodgers slugger's address

Earlier in May, Shohei Ohtani, recipient of the biggest contract MLB has seen, purchased a luxury mansion in La Canada Flintridge, California, for $7.85 million.

A month later, after Japanese outlets Nippon TV and Fuji TV revealed the address of his new home, Ohtani, without even moving in with his wife Mamiko Tanaka, put the LA home back on the market, per the New York Post.

Things got heated after the two Japanese networks sent reporters to the front porch of the house for pictures.

“Ohtani said that he could no longer live in the 1.2 billion yen mansion he had purchased, and indicated his intention to sell it without moving into his new home,” a report from Yahoo Japan said.

While Nippon TV hasn't commented on the situation, Fuji TV president Koichi Minato has made a formal apology. Ohtani's team has also reportedly expressed anger and frustration at the real estate company that helped him get the house, which previously belonged to comedian Adam Carolla.
