Ups and downs of Ryoko Hirosue, scandal-hit Japanese singer-actress arrested for assault



Japanese actress-singer Ryoko Hirosue โ€“ once dubbed โ€œthe last beautiful girl at the end of the 20th centuryโ€ by Japanese media โ€“ is making headlines again after she was arrested for assault.

The 44-year-old was detained by police this week on suspicion of kicking a nurse. She had been admitted to a hospital in the Japanese city of Shimada in Shizuoka prefecture after sustaining minor injuries in a car accident.

Hirosue was reportedly agitated and in distress during police questioning, raising her voice and walking around.

This is not the first time she has come under intense media scrutiny โ€“ the former pop idol was embroiled in scandal in 2023 after admitting to having an extramarital affair.

We recall the many ups and downs of Hirosueโ€™s decades-long career.
