Johnny’s news conference had journalist ‘blacklist,’ report says

The corporate employed by Johnny & Associates to handle a information convention addressing sexual abuse by its late founder had an obvious blacklist of journalists to keep away from calling on through the occasion, in response to a media report.

The listing included the names and images of a number of reporters attending the Monday information convention, NHK stated. Video footage from the broadcaster confirmed at the least six individuals on the listing held by employees members.

The 2-hour occasion addressing points associated to sexual abuse by Johnny Kitagawa, the company’s late founder, was attended by virtually 300 reporters.
