Regina Jokubauskaitė has agreed to revisit one of the darkest periods of her life: the night she drove after drinking and then offered an indecent bribe to the officers who stopped her.
A decade has passed, but the presenter of LRT’s “Greetings Concert” says she still feels ashamed of what happened. The episode was highlighted on the “Faro” program.
Jokubauskaitė also spoke about the atmosphere surrounding her life at the time. In an interview on Nemira Pumprickaitė’s program “With Nemira,” she said that circumstances pushed her down the wrong path, while making clear that the mistake remains a painful source of shame.
