The BBC is reporting that both the chairman an president of Fuji TV, one of Japan’s biggest networks, have resigned in the wake of a sexual misconduct allegation against a famous TV host.
Dozens of companies have pulled their advertisements from the network, which was criticised for trying to cover up the scandal.
Masahiro Nakai was accused of sexually assaulting a woman at a 2023 dinner party allegedly organised by Fuji TV staff.
He announced his retirement from show business last week.
The Japanese government has called on Fuji TV to regain trust from viewers and sponsors.
