Japanese actor Ryoko Hirosue sparked controversy again following her public apology for admitting to an affair.
On the 8th, multiple foreign media outlets, including Yahoo Japan, reported that Hirosue assaulted a nurse while waiting at a hospital around 12:20 a.m. She was arrested on the spot for attacking the nurse, including kicking her and grabbing her arm. It is reported that the nurse sustained abrasions.
That day, Ryoko Hirosue was transported to the hospital after being involved in a collision while driving a passenger car on the highway. She arrived at the hospital with minor injuries and abrasions, not serious injuries, but was surprised fans by being arrested as a suspect for assaulting the nurse.
Ryoko Hirosue is known as 'Japan's national sister' for her grants in movies such as 'Railway Man' and 'Hana and Miso Soup.' Her pure image, cute smile, and emotionally stirring performances gained her immense popularity in Japan as well as domestically.
However, she became embroiled in an affair scandal with an owner chef of a popular French restaurant that earned a Michelin Guide one-star in 2023. After the affair scandal, she divorced Jun Candle and expressed, 'I wanted to keep apologizing for causing discomfort and concern to many people' when she made an apology in August last year after one year.
