Stardust announces the firing of Sawajiri Erika

Stardust Promotion made an official announcement on 17 Oct with regards to the termination of their contract with Sawajiri Erika. However, the agency did not go into details about the reason for their action and simply said that she had committed serious violations of the contract. According to Stardust, the termination took place at the end of September but they waited till now to make the announcement because they had to liaise with various parties on how to handle some issues. It is widely believed that Stardust made the decision because of Sawajiri's problematic behaviour since Sep 07 when she behaved rudely at the press conference of her movie.

Currently, Sawajiri is said to be residing in Europe with her husband. It is expected that she will not be seen on Japanese media for the time being until she finds a new agency and is able to get work assignments.
