Fuji TV is “seriously protesting” to the media over Masahiro Nakai’s “90 million yen” women’s trouble.

Fuji is furious over reports of a secret meeting between Nakai and a woman.

The end of the year has brought a tremor to the entertainment world.

Masahiro Nakai, former leader of the popular idol group SMAP, is in trouble with a “90 million yen” woman.

The story was sparked by the December 19 issue of “Josei Seven,” which reported that a woman who attended a drinking party in Nakai’s presence last year ran into trouble and was later paid 90 million yen by Nakai to settle the matter. In response to the magazine’s interview, Nakai’s representative admitted that there had been trouble, but refused to reveal the details, citing confidentiality.

Then, “Shukan Bunshun” (Weekly Bunshun), published on the 26th, reported the issue in detail. While Josei Seven reported on the details of the incident, Bunshun pursued the situation within Fuji Television, where the woman used to work.

According to Bunshun, it was her boss, Mr. A, a senior executive in the programming bureau, who arranged the drinking party that led to her victimization. However, on the day of the party, Mr. A and all the other people who were scheduled to attend were absent, so she had a one-on-one with Nakai …….

The result was a night of great emotional trauma.

Was the absence of Mr. A and the others a coincidence, or was it a “set-up” to leave her alone with Nakai?

Fuji Television strongly refuted the latter view. According to a media source, “The secret meeting between Mr. Nakai and the woman was a set-up.

Fuji Television is firmly opposing reports that it was Fuji staff who “arranged” the secret meeting between Nakai and the woman. Our staff members are calling each and every company that has taken advantage of the Seven and Bunshun reports to inform them of the untruths and demand that they promptly correct or delete the reports.

It is rare for Fuji to protest so seriously. This is understandable, because if this issue were to become complicated, Fuji could find itself in the most critical situation it has been in since its founding.
