When it was found that she also had done some roles in erotic H-Anime, she was terribly lambasted and there was a public outcry against her. It took about 10 years, quite more or less, so that public opinion could completely forget the whole incident. However, during all that time in between her career got both jeopardized and spiraled down.
Reason why seiyuus have need and use for pseudonyms to prevent incidents like that one from ever materializing.

The case of evangelion was slightly more severe though, because Miyamura Yuko starred in a porn movie (eventhough it was made before her debut in evangelion).
While on the subject of this, i can remember another more extreme incident of a seiyuu who never got any work anymore after she was found out that she starred in a porn movie : Ishihara Eriko. (because i was looking that up several years ago why she was replaced in animes and all ages VN's like Memories off Sorekara again)
Atleast Miyamura Yuko still got a few roles after that incident (although that scandal did tarnish her repution, so she hardly got any new roles)
