Warsaw, January 2, 2026 – A decades-old confession from Polish actor Piotr Fronczewski has resurfaced, detailing a tumultuous affair with his co-star, Joanna pacuła, during his marriage to Ewa Fronczewska. The revelation,initially shared in Fronczewski’s autobiography,”I,Fronczewski,” offers a raw glimpse into a period of personal upheaval for the celebrated actor.
A Moment of Weakness
Fronczewski and Pacuła first connected on the set of the series “07 zgpowiedz się” around 1970-1980. The actor, at the height of his fame, admitted to being fully captivated by his co-star. “It happened. Evil happened.That’s it. And how did it happen? Does it matter?” he wrote, describing a period of intense work and family pressure. “I was working a lot at the time… From dawn until late at night… A house with two small children, so no sleep. At one point I wanted to run away from it all. Get away. Anywhere. And somehow it happened…”
He described a seemingly idyllic domestic life prior to the affair: “It was after the war, a beautiful, normal life. A wife, children, a house… But sometimes, even in the most beautiful life, something is missing.” The confession, he explained, was a burden he carried for years, finally unburdening himself through his writing.
The Aftermath
The revelation of the affair had a profound impact on Fronczewski’s family.”It was a terrible moment,” Fronczewski wrote. “Ewa… she was devastated. I don’t think she ever fully recovered.” He detailed a period of intense emotional turmoil and the strain it placed on their marriage.
Ewa Fronczewska, in a rare interview years later, alluded to the pain caused by the affair, stating, “Some wounds never truly heal.”
Joanna Pacuła’s Life Today
“She misses Poland because she has family here, so she misses her relatives and family. I have the impression that the older a person gets, the more he is drawn to his roots,” Ewa Pacuła shared. “States are her whole life… She went there when she was twenty-something, so she spent her whole life there.”
According to Ewa Pacuła, Joanna Pacuła has largely remained out of the public eye since a controversial interview that once appeared in ‘News.'”
“asia, conversely, is doing well, she plays golf, she makes a film from time to time, but generally she doesn’t have to do anything. It has this comfort.”
