Weekly tabloid corrects story on Fuji TV official's role in TV host sex scandal

Nakai and those responsible need to be held accountable for more than this. The chances are this is not the only case. Just the only one found out. Disgusting people.

Sexual predators should always be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, regardless of how famous or powerful they are. From Nakai to Matsumoto to Bill Cosby to Donald Trump.

I feel that Shukan Bunshu has done the same as a victim who claims someone did something to them, only to retract it. The damage is done. Now maybe this official did set up other "meeting" with so called "talents" but they didn't this time and it is what got the ball rolling against Fuji!

Someone mentioned before, can Fuji go after Nakai for all the damages they have incurred? I'd be looking for my pound of flesh from him.

I've lived in Japan for 30 years but the frenzy over these "entertainer" misconduct incidents never ceases to surprise me...

Yes, it was terrible and unconscionable - but it appears the woman accepted the settlement and put it behind her...

Nakai deserved to be "shunned" which of course didn't happen....but the level of attention in the media paid to this rivals that if China had invaded the Senkakus...

I still can't figure out why everyone obsesses over these...

This whole situation is a mess. Story just doesn't add up. Hope "all" of those who are involved are punished.

If you have lived here over 30 years, and you still cant figure it out, seems to me you actually haven't learned much about the culture of these celebrities in Japan.

People arent "obsessing" over this, the media is, and when you figure out the "why" which really isnt that hard to understand, you will have your answer.

I don't want a sex pest on tv when my children are watching. I don't care whether the victim has forgiven him. From the mass exodus of advertisers, I suspect many people feel the same.

I agree about hype and sensationalism when its "famous woman (or man) caught having an affair". Such behaviour isn't criminal, for starters. However, such stories never get the attention this is getting. While it is unclear how much Fuji TV set this up, it clearly tried to cover it up and that's bad enough for me.

Well no reason to get nasty - maybe some of us ain't as "smart" as you are...or think you are...

The press only prints the articles that their main readership? wants to read and pay for. See any nation. This story does not add up, but it sells

Yubaru - wow!

Why didn't these "conscientious" advertisers pull out the same way when the original news story broke about Johnny Kitazawa molesting and being sexually involved with many of the Johnny's kids back in the late 90s?

A rather inconvenient questions that any J journalist would be too afraid to ask........

Lady accepts transaction money. Case closed.

Why is sex made into a business I wonder.

I hope everyone asking for accountability demands it from the young lady involved as well. These girls in the entertainment industry obsess over fame/celebrity and will go to any means to obtain it. It’s an unhealthy obsession and they are just as much a part of the system as the men who unfairly get all the blame. This girl is now marketing her newly released “photo essay”, including risqué photos of herself, so the news seems well timed and opportunistic. The ravenous man hating and victim mentality by some posters here is laughable.

believers of "Johnny's" or pro-Fuji TV talents who have resentment against weekly Bunshun are exaggerately noisy due they think chance to crush Bunshun who had revealed many scandals.

But, weekly magazines who report about "Nakai-Fuji TV case" are plural, Bunshun is just one of them.

Well no reason to get nasty - maybe some of us ain't as "smart" as you are...or think you are...

Not being "nasty" at all, just an observation. And the fact is "people" aren't obsessing with the topic, the media is, and it's the media, for good or bad, who choose to add fuel to the fire. When they could just as easily stop.

It's literally "click-bait" to get people to "watch" a rival get hammered.

People hold celebrities and other public figures and the media, to a higher standard here in Japan, and when they fall from grace, the media has a feeding frenzy and tears it apart.

Few celebrities ever make a come back from incidents like this, as they have broken the trust of the public, real or otherwise, and it's the media that controls it.

This time it's the media, or one part of it, that is directly connected, and now other outlets are investigating themselves, to distance their outlets from anything to do with this scandal.
