J. Naruševičiūtė visited the podcast “Nekomforto zona”, where for the first time she spoke very openly about betrayal, the reason for the divorce and the widely publicized conflict at the airport with the current lover of Manto, Milda May.
Although for some time the axes of war were flying between Jolanta and Manto, Jolanta is open – regardless of how their relationship turned out, this phase was one of the most beautiful in her life.
“8 years was a wonderful life with a loved one. I loved madly, I really loved, I was very happy, I encouraged a lot, I gave myself all,” J. Naruševičiūtė told openly on the podcast “Nekomforto zona”.

Having experienced the pain and grief of betrayal, the woman still does not understand why it was not possible to just sit down, talk and break up peacefully.
“We’ve always talked about this topic. Look, if this happens – be human, let’s sit down and talk. After all, anything can happen, and I can fall in love. Why can you blame only one side? It happened, life happened and that’s all. I fell in love, I saw it. I’ll bear everything, maybe I’ll be left with a lot of hurt, but you can’t tear and lie like that. Imagine how I lived for a year, when next to me, pretending to be a friend, was his lover,” she said frankly.
Remembering the beginning of their friendship, the famous woman says that she still doesn’t understand how a connection developed between her and Manto so quickly. True, she emphasizes that the connection was mutual, although other languages have recently appeared in the public space.
“Now, when I think about it, I don’t understand how I was seduced so quickly. I wasn’t some kind of fool, I’m still an older woman, I have two children. I was seduced like that – I fell in love like that. Everyone who was around saw: I was so hot, I didn’t see anything, I only saw him. I can’t say that it was only from my side. I won’t lie – we had a lot of love,” the famous woman reflected.

When asked if the 22-year difference did not hinder the relationship, the woman said that it was not an obstacle at all.
“We both talked about it – it didn’t really feel like a year difference. I felt like this woman… In 2019, I had a little bit of a health problem, I had gained weight, I was looking for what was going on, I healed all my problems. But every day I heard, ‘I love you the way you are.’ I even wanted to have a stomach operation, but both he and his children told me “Don’t you dare – you are my most wonderful”, Jolanta said, recalling her relationship with M. Vygant.
In the webcast “Nekomforto zona”, J. Naruševičiūtė also showed Manto’s handwritten letters to her, in which there is an open confession about love. One of the letters read: “Thank you for being in my life and now my existing family. I would have given anything long ago to have such a pure and wonderful, real life. Because I truly, truly and endlessly love you and our adopted children and our family.”
Reading the letter, Jolanta is convinced that Mantas loved her, and the letters prove it, although the man said otherwise in public.
“I have so many letters like that. I really hurt in the fall, I won’t lie. When he was sitting with what he called his ‘first and last love,’ even though I was his third love and she was his fourth, he publicly declared that he never loved me.” I cried, and my daughter was at home, and I asked her, “Did you hear this thing?” Jolanta spoke frankly.

But later, according to her, Mantas excused himself that the letters were just a desire to fit in.
“I have a lot of them. And when they tell you in public that they never loved you… Man, what are you doing? In one letter it is very clearly stated – “I used to want to fit in”, – shared the interlocutor.
The performer spoke openly about the day when she found out that Mantas betrayed her with Milda. According to her, she herself caught them hiding.
“I knew there was a mistress because I caught them. I caught them in a dark room. The man you sleep in the same bed with, who caresses you, and you catch him with your pants down, in the dark. She jumps up quickly when you walk in. What were you doing? Let’s play checkers?” said the woman.

According to Jolanta, even when she was together with Manta, Milda persistently tried to participate in their life and relationship.
“She chased her. If we buy tickets to the theater, she buys them and goes too. If we go to a concert somewhere, she follows her. You know, when I don’t do that, I didn’t think about it. Many people around me told me, didn’t you see? She just went up and he couldn’t stand it. They told me that you stopped praising him, you stopped adoring him, and she started adoring him,” the interviewer smiled.
The airport scandal and the letter
In the webcast “Nekomforto zona”, J. Naruševičiūtė spoke about the letter, which she experienced a strong emotional shock after receiving and, as she says, she did not end up in the hospital by a hair’s breadth. The woman was shocked by the contents of the letter and the accusations against her.
“Here is an official letter that almost led me to a heart attack. Here is a letter from a non-existent lawyer, because in fact he is a real estate agent. I received it from that friend, my love now. In it, I am accused of not giving them peace – I am harassing them from February 8, 2024. Although at that time we were still a family – we lived together, we still performed,” the woman openly shared.

The woman revealed more shocking details – in her house, Mantas secretly recorded conversations that he wanted to use against Jolanta, including her children.
“When we lived together for the last half year in my house, conversations were recorded – mine, my children’s family. I didn’t know that. I only now understood what happened. They tried to get me out of patience. It all started when he left for Lithuania. A very cruel attack, cruel humiliation began, because he wanted to make me a mental patient. What he mentioned in all the shows, that I am a mental patient. He even called my children in the yard and tried to influence them to say that I am mentally ill. That was the plan, but it didn’t work,” she said.
True, even after all the anger, their relationship did not end. After Mantas returned to Lithuania in October 2024, the two reconciled again in January 2025, without anyone knowing about it. According to Jolanta, as soon as Milda went back to the United Kingdom, Mantas kept coming back into her life.
“Some time has passed, a few months, and what do you think? The man wanted to come back. In January, we reconciled. But no one knew about it. We corresponded, we talked – our longest conversation lasted as long as nine hours. And she flies back, she flies away. As soon as she left, my phone immediately exploded with messages,” the performer told “Nekomfort Zona”.

By correspondence, the two agreed to meet when Jolanta returns to Lithuania in February for a concert. However, this return turned into a big scandal. It turned out that on the same day, only half an hour later, Milda also flew to Lithuania.
“We made a bet – love returned. He knew I was coming in February because the concert was coming up. He said we would meet, but 4-5 days before the scandal – I was blocked again. I’m coming and maybe it’s the irony of fate, because the car I rented didn’t open for me – it’s cold, I’m standing outside, I’m waiting. I see it coming, all lost. I say: “Are you here for me?” Says, “No.” I say, “These?” Says: “Yes, but you don’t try to take pictures.” He constantly threatened me with law enforcement. And photography was not allowed, because she was still living with her husband, a married woman. He only flies to Lithuania to decorate. I was shocked… A terrible shock. Imagine how I feel, I just forgave, everything is broken and everything starts again,” she said.
It is true that the scandal at the Kaunas airport, where a conflict between Milda and Jolanta arose, was widely reported.
The videos showed the two women sparing each other’s retorts, with Jolanta finally spitting on camera. However, according to Jolanta, this conflict was carefully planned by Milda and Manto.
“No one knows that yet. It was all planned. Mantas then ran away, of course, because her (Milda’s – aut. post) brother came to pick her up. I go back into the airport and she comes out with the camera. I tried to talk to her, but it’s not filmed, she sent me, I go, and she follows with the camera. It just made me nervous because I was badly affected before. When she left, there were a lot of people. They Jie she gave me her contacts in case the law enforcement intervened. They told me that she was standing in the luggage compartment, and everyone heard that there was talk about how to provoke me. She didn’t leave immediately after arriving, but talked with him about what to do, where to wait, to call her brother so that no one would see that he took her, because he is a man,” she said.
However, even after this highly publicized conflict, as soon as Milda left, Mantas tried to contact Jolanta again: “After 2 weeks, when the lady left, the calls came again – I love you, I want to reconcile.”
