Will it spread not only to Fuji TV but also to the entire TV industry?</figcaption></figure>
<h2> Fuji TV denies involvement of its employees.</h2>
<p> Is the &#8220;allegation&#8221; against Masahiro Nakai (52) of &#8220;offering up women&#8221; just the tip of the iceberg?</p>
<p> The trouble started when an executive at Fuji TV sent a woman to Nakai&#8217;s place for &#8220;dinner,&#8221; but she cancelled the meeting, and the two got into trouble. Nakai tried to &#8220;make it all go away,&#8221; but the weekly magazine reports became so heated that Nakai was practically banned from the entertainment industry.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> On January 15, NTV&#8217;s &#8220;The! Sekai Ohten News&#8217; officially announced on the program&#8217;s official website that Nakai would be leaving the show. They did not explain what happened between him and the woman, but they would not have let him leave the show if there was nothing going on. It means that the TV station clearly said &#8220;NO&#8221; to Nakai.</span></p>
<p> On March 15, Fuji Television announced that it has been investigating Nakai&#8217;s trouble with the woman since last year with an outside lawyer to confirm the facts. Fuji TV has denied that any of its employees were involved, and Nakai has stated that no third party was involved.</p>
<p> Regarding this issue, Dalton Investments, a US investment fund known as a &#8220;silent shareholder,&#8221; has announced that it has asked Fuji Media Holdings to establish a third-party committee. Dalton Investments owns 7% of Fuji Media Holdings.</p>
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
<p> In response to Dalton&#8217;s move, attorney Masaki Kito stated in X on March 15</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Just to be clear, this matter cannot be credibly investigated without an investigation by a so-called &#8216;third-party committee&#8217; whose independence is guaranteed,&#8221; he pointed out.</span></p>
<p> He pointed out.</p>

<h2>A good-looking AD is preyed upon by a female celebrity.</h2>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> No one will believe it even if lawyers who are close to Fuji Television executives and others announce that Fuji Television was not involved. A third-party committee including several lawyers and intellectuals must conduct a rigorous check, and hearings must be held with female TV announcers and employees in order to remove all the pus. The public is not that stupid and will not be fooled.</span></p>

<p> Utane Aoki, a former female TV announcer who now works as a YouTuber, said</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> &#8220;Many of the production staff at Fuji Television are very cool, but in a bad way.</span></p>
<p> She then added, &#8220;Many of Fuji TV&#8217;s production staff are easy-going in a bad way,</p>
<p><span class="strongInContent"> I was often taken for a ride in the car of a big man who was in charge of the production of Fuji TV programs, but he would not let me off until he was satisfied with my kissing and touching. When I refused, he would get mad. At the time, I was mentally deranged and had to take medication every time.</span></p>
<p> He confessed to the sexual abuse he had suffered at X in the past.</p>
<p> Furthermore, in the January 16 issue of Shukan Bunshun, a &#8220;current Fuji Television announcer&#8221; appeared under a pseudonym. She confessed that she was &#8220;offered up to Mr. A, an executive in charge of programming at Fuji Television.</p>

<p><span class="strongInContent"> To be honest, it&#8217;s not just Fuji Television, but many TV stations do entertain powerful producers, celebrities, and others. But if you accuse them, there is a possibility that you will be dried out from the entertainment industry or suffer serious psychological damage due to the damage. So many women could not tell anyone and cried themselves to sleep. Even if they complained about the damage, it was usually handled privately, with no police action, just the perpetrator being transferred. However,</span><span class="strongInContent"> However, when Ms. Nakai&#8217;s problem surfaced and became a social issue, voices began to be raised as &#8220;#Me Too. Not only women, but also good-looking ADs have been preyed upon by female celebrities. &#8230;&#8230; There must be quite a few TV station executives and celebrities who are horrified.</span></p>
<p> Even Nakai, who reigned at the top of the entertainment world, disappeared in an instant. Will the turmoil in the entertainment world continue?</p>
