Flemish channel Play removed an episode of De Slimste Mens ter Wereld featuring content creator Mehdi El Hadri, known as Bruine Mehdi, after several women accused him on social media of sexually inappropriate behaviour. Play said it takes the reports seriously and is conducting an independent investigation into the allegations. The channel later aired the programme with a disclaimer because of three allegations against El Hadri concerning alleged sexual conduct.
