The Kardashians aren’t the only celebrities turning heads in Bali this week.
Japanese adult film star Maria Ozawa, aka Miyabi, a favorite amongst Indonesians, has been in Bali too, but says she is “very sad” and “disappointed” after getting help up by immigration in Denpasar for around three hours.
The 32-year-old told reporters on Wednesday that she was only in Bali “to party” and not on the island for business.

This is technically true, as Ozawa was photographed celebrating the birthday of her friend, Indonesian entertainer, Barbie Nouva, at a posh villa in Bali, where she also posted Instagram story updates of the festivities.

Ozawa’s defensive statements to the press come after she was summoned by the island’s Denpasar Immigration Office and questioned for several hours, apparently after rumors circulated that she was on a “working holiday”. The porn star, however, was allowed to leave Bali to return to Japan, reports Kompas.
“I’m very sad that people would make such a rumor, which is not true. I just came here to party with my friend which is so normal. I wish I would have privacy in this country,” Ozawa said in front of cameras.
“This is very disappointing and I hope everything will change in the right way. I guess people should change and be more smarter,” she added.
Her trip started out much stronger, as she posted a photo—quickly gone viral amongst Indonesian netizens—of herself with the pilots in the cockpit of her flight landing in Bali.

Miyabi has a huge following in Indonesia—she’s so popular amongst Indonesians that a (comedy) movie about kidnapping her was made locally back in 2010.
She has holidayed in Bali a few times over the past several years, playing tourist, to the delight of Indonesian fans.
