According to social media posts published by actress Agnieszka Fitkau-Perepeczko, the widow of late actor Marek Perepeczko has publicly condemned Polish entertainment magazine Vivo! for publishing false narratives regarding her marriage, long-term separation, and financial status.
Agnieszka Fitkau-Perepeczko Denounces Media Portrayals
For more than two decades following the death of “Janosik” star Marek Perepeczko in 2005, tabloid media have continued to revisit the couple’s relationship and the years of physical separation caused by Fitkau-Perepeczko’s relocation to Australia, which began in the year of the introduction of martial law in Poland. According to the actress’s recent Facebook statement, modern coverage routinely frames these past decisions around luxury and marital discord rather than factual circumstances.
Targeting the publication Vivo! directly, Fitkau-Perepeczko criticized what she views as a decline in journalistic standards. “Vivo!, once you were an elegant magazine, you did real interviews, on a level and with class! But now, unfortunately, you have become a tabloid delivering false news,” she wrote on her profile, adding that such reporting fosters hostility toward public figures for financial gain.
Did You Know?
Agnieszka Fitkau-Perepeczko returned to the set of the Polish drama series M jak miłość to play the character of Simona, maintaining an active public presence decades after her initial move abroad.
The Real Story Behind the Australian Emigration
Addressing persistent rumors that her departure from Poland stemmed from marital problems or a desire for sudden wealth, Fitkau-Perepeczko clarified that the relocation was a mutual decision rooted in professional stagnation. According to the actress, her husband Marek Perepeczko was an unemployed actor for approximately 10 years after his success in the television series Janosik.
“Our decision with Marek 45 years ago was mutual, even if I had to leave forever… so please don’t write nonsense and invented stories solely to ignite the public’s imagination,” Fitkau-Perepeczko stated. She expressed frustration that contemporary reports ignore the economic realities of the Polish People’s Republic (PRL) period that forced actors to navigate widespread professional inactivity.
Challenging Tabloid Narratives of Wealth
The actress dismissed claims regarding a lavish lifestyle, questioning the logic of media portrayals against her actual living conditions. Pointing to her everyday vehicle and housing situation, Fitkau-Perepeczko asked, “What kind of celebrity is she, who drives a 25-year-old Honda and lives in a block of flats without a bathroom in pink marble? None!”
According to the statements shared on her social media channels, the ongoing creation of fictionalized biographies by entertainment press serves primarily to attract online engagement at the expense of accuracy, transforming historical personal choices into manufactured scandals.
