“A conversation that is very good at the dinner table, and if you eat dinner instead, you will lose weight by listening! I love it, I can not!”, Rimantė cheered on Facebook on Friday, sharing the record of said program.

Shortly after this recording, Rimante’s partner, journalist, host of the LRT radio program “Perimeters of history”, Rimas Bružas, did not spare criticism not only for the chosen interlocutor of the program, but also expressed that Rimante herself did not She was even a “real journalist”.

Seeing such comments, R. Kulvinskytė’s husband, Povilas Miškinis Eidukonis, stood up to defend his wife and asked R. Bruzas why he dares to consider himself a better journalist than a journalist who creates entertaining content. And, in general, what right does he have to divide people and measure their worth?

The discussion soon turned heated: Povilas, who defended his wife, was hampered by a series of rude comments, one of which even offered to “grind his mouth to bite.” R.Bružas released unpleasant and rude comments to other people involved in the discussion, so in the end P.Miškinis-Eidukonis decided to contact lawyers about it, and although R.Bružas deleted the comments on Saturday, according to Povilas, definitely is not sufficient.

“We have to officially apologize, out loud, out loud and admit our mistakes, so I still hope Rimas will, then we can put an end to this disgusting story. It’s not ‘tasty’, but it’s already a generation of attitudes – Who is a journalist and who is not, is it possible to write anything on social media? I think you have to answer for your words ” People.lt Paul said.

The day after the insults, R. Bružas, after the aforementioned recording of Rimante, deleted his crude comments and published an apology: “On the red lines and the desire to finish this topic. We all “pass” here normally. Rimante personally apologized via sms and deleted my unethical comments. However, this does not mean that I leave my positions on non-public and unrelated mentions with the intention of offending and evoking emotion. To that the emotions rebelled, and there the train crossed all the red lines. I learned my lesson and will no longer visit influencer pages because I objectively assess my verbal skills. I prefer to discuss the story rather than turn around. I apologize to anyone I may have offended. Peace and love. “

However, such an apology does not satisfy the family: People.lt Povilas said that he would go to court if necessary, because he would no longer come down with a laugh, and Rima’s current position does not seem sincere.

“At least I want to go to court, but I have already communicated with the lawyers, I am not a judge, it is not my job to evaluate such human actions, so I leave it to the responsible authorities. He is a journalist himself, he is responsible to the people, to the public, I think he should show his true regrets with his actions, not only write a message in which he supposedly regrets, but at the same time demands the removal of comments. I’m not convinced by such an apology, ”says Povilas.

He adds that this is not just an insult to his family, as this unpleasant discussion covers a much wider range of topics and is an opportunity to speak out loud to avoid similar unpleasant things in the future and learn certain lessons.

“I think we have moved the wound up and at this point I don’t want to close my eyes and pretend that nothing has happened. I think we have a serious precedent when a journalist, a public figure, rudely insults others; probably not everyone can pass it through their ears, I, for example, I can not. What I said personally: I do not accept it with sensitivity, it seems to me simply to insult a person for their physical characteristics, to threaten. It saddens me more because a person does not respect his colleagues at all; here’s the point. Nobody can measure the value of another ”, is convinced P. Miškinis-Eidukonis.

LRT: “We can’t tolerate that”

People.lt requested to the LRT for an evaluation of this situation.

“The public broadcaster LRT raises the highest standards of quality and ethics of journalistic work for its journalists and content creators. The aforementioned situation is unpleasant, it does not comply with the ethical standards of LRT. We note that the discussion between the two Journalists were developed in personal profiles, but, in the opinion of the LRT, it should not exceed ethical standards. We do not support insults or public threats. The LRT leaders, upon hearing these comments, reacted immediately: they spoke with Rimas Bružas During the conversations, the position was expressed that LRT does not tolerate this. Taking into account this position, R. Bružas apologized to R. Kulvinskytė for his comments and deleted his comments, “it is written on the portal People.lt in the comment posted by LRT.

Due to the situation, so far it has not been possible to reach R.Bruz by phone.
