Well, we know it's not about something between her and Nakai or else she wouldn't be on SMAPxSMAP either. It's either something with Ishibashi or something else behind the scenes.
I believe what you are referring to is the episode where Ishibashi makes fun of how slow she was speaking(yes, video does exist), she did look a bit hurt when he said it and she has said in interviews in the past that she was teased in school for her voice and slow way of speaking so it's possible that she really took it to heart. She still appeared on Utaban for another talk segment a few months later and performed a few times, then nothing. But maybe it's notable that the last Utaban talk segment she was on(as far as I know) she brought Yuu-chan (her guitar player) along with her - the only time I can think of her doing that.
