He committed suicide due to his mother manipulating his net worth to benefit her life without Miura's permission.[124] Therefore people were curious on him changing and deleting his SNS number due to his relationship with his mom. He was also cyber bullied due to fact he defended his colleague after he was accused of cheating on his wife.[125] He was also ridiculed by a director named Shunichi Hirano, whom Miura and him worked on a tv show called "Money" 10 years ago. At that time, Haruma Miura's work was in poor condition, except for Shunichi Hirano. He scolded, and was ridiculed by his appearance by Hirano.[126]
