Peg Parnevik has detailed a confrontation with a cheating partner and his mistress in her autobiography, Golfarens dotter. According to the 30-year-old artist, she invited both individuals to a lunch at an Östermalm restaurant to confront them after her boyfriend attempted to frame the affair as a “friendship” he wanted Parnevik to join.
The Östermalm Confrontation: Parnevik’s Account
In Golfarens dotter, Peg Parnevik describes waiting at a corner table in an Östermalm restaurant for her boyfriend and a woman he claimed was a new friend. Parnevik states in the book that she suspected the pair were involved and that the boyfriend had “sold” the relationship as an incredible friendship she simply didn’t understand.
Parnevik notes that the pair arrived eleven minutes late, entering one by one, though she suspected they had traveled together. Despite feeling like her “lungs were about to explode,” Parnevik reports that she avoided making a scene or raising her voice. She told the pair, “Can’t you see that I’m falling apart?” and asked for honesty and respect.

“Not Her Problem”: The Aftermath of the Lunch
The most jarring moment of the encounter occurred as the other woman departed. Parnevik describes the woman’s parting words—that the situation was “not her problem” and she “did not want to get involved”—as the “sickest” thing she had ever heard.
The tension continued outside the restaurant. Parnevik recounts standing on the sidewalk with her boyfriend, who then told her, “It went quite well. Right?” Parnevik characterizes this comment as the “second sickest” thing she heard during the ordeal.
Following a performance at Allsång på Skansen on a Tuesday, Parnevik told reporters that the book has been received with love and that many people have been able to relate to her story. She confirmed that the man in question has not contacted her, stating she does not expect him to because she omitted names in the book, leaving the identity to “free interpretation.”
