A day has passed, Hirosue Ryoko continues to suffer serious consequences. Specifically, Yahoo Japan revealed on June 15 that 4 brands, Nippon Kimono Holdings, EDWIN, LegalOn Technologies and Kirin beer company, have just announced the termination of contracts and removed advertising images of Ryoko Hirosue.

A financial expert said that Ryoko Hirosue is facing a huge compensation for breach of contract. Her commercial fees are around 30-45 million Yen (210,000-320,000 USD). Thus, the total amount of compensation she has to pay to the four major brands is 140-180 million Yen (996,000-1.2 million USD).

Yahoo Japan believes that the above number is still not enough. Because before the scandal happened, Ryoko was trusted by the brand because of her popularity, clean image and having a model happy family.

Because of this, she holds many long-term contracts with fashion magazines, movies and television shows.

Ryoko has maintained her position as an A-list star in the Japanese entertainment industry for nearly 30 years thanks to her beautiful appearance and quiet personal life.

Previously, on March 14, Bunshun reported on her personal page that actress Ryoko Hirosue admitted to betraying her husband and having an affair with chef Toba. The Japanese beauty wrote a handwritten letter to apologize to her fans and those involved for her thoughtless behavior.

Afterwards, her management company FLaMme sent a warning to the actress and decided to suspend Ryoko Hirosue's artistic activities indefinitely.

According to Nikkan Sport, Ryoko Hirosue had to cancel the filming of a new movie scheduled to take place in mid-June. Initially, the producers planned to film the work in Ryoko's hometown. Most likely, the film crew will cut the role and find a replacement for Ryoko Hirosue.

Weekly Bunshun revealed that the 43-year-old actress is one of the most hated female artists in Japan.

In Japan, cheating in a relationship is unacceptable for any reason. Especially for female artists, the public's view is even more severe.
