I've been a Yossy fan for many years. She was a big source of inspiration for me when I was just a teenager. She gave me so much strength and I had always wished to become as strong as she was.
I'm shattered at the news and of course it is not something you can forgive that easily. But I genuinely think Yossy is a good person and needs our support. She deserves to be punished but not to be fired. Taking care of a 1-3 year old child is difficult. I have a niece who is the same age and even though it's just my niece, I could understand if she was having a hard time trying to mix her talento activities and her motherhood, especially if the dad is a salary man who is hardly never home. Kids are terrible at that age because they can walk but most often don't really speak and they are discovering the world, what is good and what is not. I bet Yossy, despite always being there for her friends, wouldn't ask for help or advice. Of course there is no apology to drive while being drunk. But there can be mitigating circumstances. Besides, she was drinking the night before, not just before taking her car. She must have wrongly assumed the alcohol was out of her body. People make mistakes sometimes...
Considering that, I wish there was a way to send her supportive heartwarming messages.
Anyhow, glad that that wasn't the case (i.e. serious injury or..). As for Yossie, I've been following the Japanese news everyday on the net. Lot's of unsubstantiated rumors flying around which I won't bother to report on. But one of these stories that seems to be true is where eyewitnesses are reporting about Yossie's initial encounter with the police. They report that Yossie was initially acting all defensive & even sulky, making lot's of excuses to the police. That she did nothing wrong and it was the pedestrian's fault (not her) who ignored the light and crossed the sidewalk when it was red. And she only lightly hit them. That she was a showbiz/celebrity and was in a big hurry to get to where she was needed. That alot of $$$ was riding on her being there on time, etc. But then one of the police officers asked Yossie, "You've been drinking alcohol, haven't you?". That's when her defiant attitude quickly disappeared. Doesn't look good. Either Yossie was out and out lying, OR she actually believed what she was saying (which would indicate she was stone drunk and couldn't properly drive and analyze the road/condition, etc).

This actually sounds a lot like Yossy being burned out. But saying it was the pedestrians' fault isn't a real good move... I think she was really believing what she was saying. Alcohol and panick can sometimes alter your senses.
I hope she's okay and we get news OF her soon.
