Jolanta Naruševičiūtė has taken legal steps after receiving threats and enduring public insults, including being labeled mentally ill. She announced her decision to pursue legal action after reading comments that celebrated threats against her, such as being killed or run over by a car. Naruševičiūtė expressed her distress over these comments and questioned the legitimacy of those calling her mentally ill without medical proof.

"I was horrified by the comments. How people rejoice that I am threatened, that they want to kill me, that they want to burn my eyes out and even run me over with a car. Let's all clap, how fun it is. So this is the Lithuanian mentality," Naruševičiūtė stated. She further emphasized her educational background, stating, "I am a person with higher education. And if you are interested, I can also present diplomas." She is demanding that those who called her mentally ill present medical certificates.

Conversely, Mantas Vygantas expressed a desire for peace, suggesting that the attacks originate from Naruševičiūtė and her followers. He recounted instances of public humiliation, spitting, and physical contact, implying that Naruševičiūtė only resorts to legal action when she faces criticism. "All attacks come from Jolanta and all those ladies' followers. Then, when there is public humiliation, spitting at the airport, physical contact, all public humiliation with the worst possible words, then everything is fine. But when someone comments on her, then she tries to go to court," Vygantas said.

Vygantas appealed for an end to the negativity, stating, "Leave us, people, in peace. We live happily, we work, we rejoice, we live in the most wonderful country – Lithuania. You live among wonderful people, among smiles, and now, waking up in the morning, you see some negative waves, which really should no longer be there." He concluded by requesting help to end these disturbances.
