Conflict arose on the set of the Fuji Television drama 'Couple Separate Surname Detective' involving actors Sato Jiro and Hashimoto Ai.
Sato Jiro and his agency strongly deny harassment allegations, citing professional conduct and lack of communication regarding physical boundaries.
Hashimoto Ai’s agency confirmed the investigation findings reported by Fuji Television and is taking legal action against online defamation.
Fuji Television faces backlash for its management of the situation, with critics labeling the network's response as detached and insufficient.
