Fuji’s third-party committee interviewed only employees…Confused information and false rumors have increased the “demand for accountability” from Masahiro Nakai.
Mr. Nakai contacted Ms. A directly.
Former TV personality Masahiro Nakai, 52, is being called upon to be “accountable. This is because of the ongoing confusion over a series of female troubles.
In June 2011, he had a serious “sexual trouble” with Ms. X, who was working for Fuji Television at the time. In December of last year, it was reported in “Josei Seven” and “Shukan Bunshun” that he had paid a large settlement through his agent.
On January 27, Fuji Television held a “redo” press conference that lasted more than 10 hours, at which President Koichi Minato and Chairman Shuji Kano announced their resignations. Vice Chairman Ryunosuke Endo is also expected to resign after the results of the third-party committee are announced at the end of March.
Meanwhile, on January 28, the Weekly Bunshun, which had been pursuing this issue, reported the following regarding the circumstances of the dinner between Nakai and Ms. X
The article stated that “Ms. Xko was invited to the dinner by Mr. A, a Fuji programming executive,” but subsequent interviews revealed that “Ms. Xko was invited by Nakai” and that she was aware that it was an “extension” of the meeting Mr. A had set up. I corrected the story.
The editor-in-chief of Bunshun also corrected the story on his website. The editor-in-chief of Bunshun also made a similar explanation on his company’s website, but the criticism is growing, especially on the Internet.
The editor-in-chief of Bunshun also made a similar explanation on his own website, but the criticism is mounting, especially on the Internet. The question arises as to what kind of wording he used to invite her. As far as we have been able to gather, we have heard that Mr. Nakai’s line was not ‘let’s drink one-on-one’ but ‘let’s drink together.’ Mr. A told Fuji’s investigation that he was ‘unaware’ of the dinner in question itself. If this is true, it is possible that Mr. Nakai’s “let’s all have a drink together” was a lie to lure Ms. X out.
says a source at the TV station.
There are other aspects of Nakai’s behavior that are questionable. In July 2011, after the trouble occurred, Nakai explained the situation to Fuji employees. At that time, he did not say what exactly happened behind closed doors, but gave the impression that it was “a relationship problem between a man and a woman.
