Hirosue Ryoko, a popular Japanese actress known as the "Nation's Daughter," was arrested early Wednesday morning for allegedly assaulting a nurse at Shimada City General Medical Center.

The incident occurred around 12:20 a.m. on April 8, shortly after Hirosue, 43, was transported to the hospital to treat minor injuries sustained in a highway collision. According to local reports, she allegedly kicked a female nurse and grabbed her by the arm, resulting in abrasions on the nurse's body.

Eyewitness accounts suggest that Hirosue had been in Nara Prefecture earlier that day to film a movie. Following the shoot, she was involved in a car accident while returning to Tokyo. Reports indicate that her manager was present in the vehicle but was not driving at the time of the crash.

Following her arrest, Hirosue underwent an initial drug screening and tested negative for illegal substances. However, authorities have not ruled out the possibility of drug use related to legal medications as the investigation continues into the circumstances surrounding both the collision and the alleged assault.

This is just the latest saga in Hirosue's personal life. In June 2023, she made headlines after admitting to an affair with celebrity chef Toba Shusaku, which she initially denied but later apologized for publicly.

No statements have been made yet on behalf of Hirosue about the new allegations. The actress has been featured in many movies and TV series since the nineties, for example, "Wasabi" (2001), "Departures" (2008), and so on.

An investigation into the incident is reportedly ongoing.
