On Thursday evening, S. Lipnė explained in her Instagram stories why she had not publicly spoken much about changes in her personal life until now, while M. Lipnius had already discussed many aspects online. According to her, the silence was not a sign that she had nothing to say or agreed with everything that was said publicly.

“Probably some thought that I would never speak out, others checked and watched, wondering when I would speak… I will say one important thing: when you don’t shoot back, when you don’t attack back, when you don’t immediately get angry and try to start a war on social networks, it doesn’t mean that you are wrong, it doesn’t mean that the other side is telling the truth.
It doesn’t mean that I have nothing to say. Believe me, it was one of the hardest periods when I had to pull myself together. Thanks to my lawyers who did not let me speak out, my PR team, everyone who supported me. To stay on this path, to wait, and now I can come out with a completely different emotion. I am a grown woman, with three children, no longer having the business I nurtured… But my choice of silence was such that I first wanted to protect the children, I did not want all this to escalate into an even bigger conflict. <..> Another thing, the business I was managing at the time. I did not want to harm it any more than it was already harmed. After all, I had a spouse whom I also did not want to hurt.
I’m not saying I will be silent forever. I am turning a completely new page. This is my choice, and it’s already the second day that I am sleeping at all. I had insomnia, it consumed me a lot, in every way. Over the past week, I lost three kilograms because I simply couldn’t swallow food. I was alive just on medication. <..> I chose peace, freedom, and to live the way I want, without any of the things that were before.
Of course, before that there were many tears, nerves, many difficult decisions. A lot changed for us. At first, it seemed that it could be one way, that we could be together… <..> And then I realized that my health, my psychological, inner state, and the fact that I have to take care of the children are more important than anything else. That’s why I made the decision not to tear apart, not to share, and I took it as an opportunity to start anew, with a clearer head, a better mood. Many different emotions,” the woman said.
Looked back to the start of business
Speaking about a new stage of life, S. Lipnė also recalled an earlier period when she started building her business. She said it all began almost six and a half years ago when, raising triplets, she started working from home and became an influencer.
It was through collaborating with various brands that she noticed some products she liked so much that she wanted not only to promote them but also to personally select and recommend them to others. Gradually, the idea was born to create a place where her personally selected products could be found.

“It all started almost 6.5 years ago. At that time, being at home with the children, I started influencing. When I started influencing, it happened that brands came, and in this way, I could work from home, raising triplets. Advertising products, I realized that certain brands appeared for which, once they appeared, I no longer wanted to show or advertise anything else because I liked them so much that I only wanted to stick to that product. Then the idea struck me that I wanted to create a place where my recommended products, my selected products would be. Since there were also children’s products, it turned out that it’s not just about beauty – it’s also about children.”
S. Lipnė did not hide that the whole family contributed to the growth of the business. Over time, “Simitri” became a well-known project, which, as she says, she grew together with her close ones.
However, today she is no longer involved in this business herself. The woman said she stepped away from everything she had built and nurtured over many years.
“I don’t know how many of you learned about ‘Simitri’ through me, but I definitely know that I have a large fan base who trusted my recommendations, my selected products. But I will no longer be there. I left everything – the brands I found, which I popularized in Lithuania, into which I put a lot of effort. I left everything, all the stores, warehouses, employees – everything. And now I don’t cry on camera, and earlier I didn’t want to convey all that drama because I knew that one day it would end and be resolved.”
According to S. Lipnė, now she wants to distance herself from past experiences and focus on a new stage of life. The woman claims she chose peace and freedom and aims to create life the way she wants.
