50-year-old Japanese actress Ryoko Yonekura recently made headlines with shocking news of suspected drug involvement, causing an uproar in Japan’s entertainment industry. However, the latest investigation results show that although suspected drugs were found in Yonekura’s luxury home, her urine test came back negative, confirming she did not use drugs. As a result, she has not been arrested or prosecuted. Japanese media further revealed that she might have been 'set up', essentially being framed. Reportedly, Yonekura remained calm throughout the investigation and proactively cooperated multiple times, showing a sincere attitude. However, before the police raid, several media outlets had already staked out her home for filming, leading insiders to suspect the whole incident may have been a deliberately arranged PR operation.
At present, Yonekura is staying in a hotel to avoid the limelight, and the investigation’s focus has shifted to her Argentine boyfriend, Gonzalo Cuello. It is reported that after their residence was searched, he immediately left Japan, citing his father’s critical illness as the reason, which caused the investigation to come to a temporary halt. There are reports that Yonekura has begun contacting senior figures in the entertainment industry, indicating that she will shut down her personal agency—essentially preparing to gradually withdraw from the scene. The star, who once soared to the peak with 'Doctor-X', may see her brilliant acting career end prematurely because of this incident.
