Details have emerged regarding the circumstances surrounding a driving under the influence case involving "Misis Lietuva" (Mrs. Lithuania) contestant G. Smičiūtė. Court documents indicate that the incident occurred on the morning of May 30, 2026, when Smičiūtė was found driving a Toyota Yaris near an apartment building around 7 a.m.
Upon being tested, her blood alcohol level was recorded at 1.8 per mille, significantly above the legal limit. The legal proceedings against her are currently being heard at the Vilnius District Court.
Further information from the case files suggests that Smičiūtė had experienced a difficult period leading up to the accident. She described her life as "full of challenges," with the week preceding the incident being particularly tough. The night before the event, she reportedly consumed about five glasses of champagne at home with a friend.
According to Smičiūtė, a conflict arose between her and the friend she was with that night, preventing her from sleeping. It remains unclear from the publicly available information whether this friend was her ex-husband or another individual. Nearly a year prior, Smičiūtė's name was also in the public eye due to changes in her personal life, with media reporting on her divorce from producer Aleksandras Brokas.
