Fuji TV apologizes twice over mishandled harassment allegation against actor Satō Jirō

Fuji TV issued a second apology after admitting it failed in its handling of a harassment report involving actor Satō Jirō and co-star Hashimoto Ai on the drama Fūfu Bessei Keiji. The network acknowledged it knew of Hashimoto's safety conditions on set but chose to conceal them, sparking widespread criticism and a wave of online misogyny directed at the actress. This marks the third consecutive scandal for the broadcaster.
