On the 17th, Fuji Television held a press conference at its headquarters in Odaiba, Tokyo, with President Koichi Minato and others to explain the trouble between Masahiro Nakai and a woman. President Minato revealed that Fuji Television had been aware of the trouble between Nakai and a woman in early June 2011, immediately after it had occurred. He explained that an employee had noticed the woman was acting strangely and spoke to her, and that the issue had been recognized as "an extremely sensitive one."

When asked by the reporters if the person was a Fuji employee, President Minato replied, "I can't answer that," to which the moderator replied, "Please understand that we can't answer questions that connect to specific individuals."

Fuji TV explained that they were aware of the situation and made a doctor's diagnosis their top priority. They also said that Nakai had contacted them to inform them of the problem.

When asked by the interviewer whether he could not answer questions even though the woman had sought advice, President Minato again replied "Yes," to which the moderator replied, "As I have said many times, I cannot answer questions about specific individuals."
