What is Fuji TV Sex Scandal?

The controversy began when Shukan Bunshun, a weekly magazine, reported in December 2024 about a Β₯90 million (USD 578,000) settlement between Nakai and a woman who accused him of sexual assault at a 2023 dinner party reportedly organised by a Fuji TV staff member. While Nakai acknowledged the settlement, he denied any violent conduct.슬롯 머신 사이트 추천슬롯사이트˜Sex for Shifts슬롯사이트� Scandal Rocks McDonald슬롯사이트™s UK: Pressure Mounts on Fast Food Giant As Teen Employees Claim Managers Offered Extra Work Hours in Exchange for Sex.

The scandal escalated after Fuji TV President Koichi Minato admitted during a press conference that the network was aware of the allegations six months before the report but failed to disclose them. Major advertisers, including Nissan, Toyota, Shiseido, and Seven & I Holdings, pulled their ads, with over 50 companies reportedly following suit. The lack of transparency and contrition in Fuji TV슬롯사이트™s handling of the case has drawn widespread criticism.

The issue comes amid growing scrutiny of Japan슬롯사이트™s entertainment industry, which is still grappling with the fallout from the Johnny & Associates scandal. The talent agency, which managed SMAP and other boy bands, admitted in 2023 to decades of sexual abuse by its late founder, Johnny Kitagawa.

Nakai슬롯사이트™s case highlights systemic problems within Japan슬롯사이트™s entertainment sector, including power imbalances and cover-ups. The involvement of a high-profile figure like Nakai and the subsequent advertiser backlash have amplified the public슬롯사이트™s call for accountability and reform in the industry. Rising Sun Management, a major shareholder of Fuji TV, has demanded a full investigation and appropriate action.
