Dozens of Massage Envy therapists across the nation have been accused of sexual misconduct a BuzzFeed report alleges.
Citing lawsuits and other official documents, the news site said Sunday that the company and its franchisees had mishandled or ignored many of more than 180 cases.
NBC News has not confirmed all of the allegations.
In a statement Sunday, Massage Envy — which has more than 1,100 franchises in 49 states, according to the company's website — said the incidents described in the report were "heartbreaking for us and for the franchisees that operate Massage Envy locations."
