Nippon Life Insurance and Toyota…Fuji TV’s “messy” president’s press conference has caused sponsors to leave the company in earnest. Shareholder lawsuits are possible.

Investigation committee with a third-party lawyer

On January 17, Fuji Television Network held its regular president’s press conference at the station in Daiba, Tokyo.

President Koichi Minato mentioned the problem of TV personality Masahiro Nakai, who has been in trouble with a woman. He said that he had been aware of the trouble since June 2011.

“We put the woman’s wishes and human rights first,” he said.

He did not make it public.

However, there seems to be a discrepancy between Fuji Television’s view and that of the victim woman, Xko, who reportedly harbors feelings of resentment toward not only Nakai but also Fuji Television and producer Mr. A. Furthermore, the “third-party committee” was not called a “third-party committee,” but rather a committee of “third parties.

Furthermore, instead of calling it a “third-party committee,” they announced that they would set up an “investigation committee with a third-party lawyer. How transparent this is is questionable. Regarding the selection of the members of the investigation committee, Managing Director Ishihara said, “Basically, we will select the members of the investigation committee.

“Basically, we will select the members of the committee. ……

He said, “Basically, we select the committee members.

“It won’t be a setup,” he explained.

He also explained that “we will not be hand-picked.

Nikkan Sports reported that about 30% of Fuji TV’s sponsors have left the company as a result of this fiasco, but surprisingly, there were some comments on the Internet such as

Where are the remaining 70% of sponsors?

Some people are still saying that it is unforgivable.

Former Daio Paper’s Mr. Iitaka Igawa also stated in an X on the 17th

I think we should boycott the sponsor companies that advertise on Fuji TV from now on, because it means that they allow sexual payment.
