Surely she can’t be serious – $37 million? being a publicist she knows how to play the media – do you think she is taking advantage of her position with knowing the way PR works?

Hi Robbie; horrible harassment situation for her. But I hope she can recover from this and progress her PR career; her media performance and stance should enhance her PR credentials.

Oh of course – I agree horrible situation –
So do you think, that coming out like this will enhance her PR career, as in someone would have seen her performance and said – ‘she looks controlled and calm in a crowd, ill hire her’ ??

Dont think it’s as direct as that Rob. But when it comes to bad PR how about the related comments by wacky fashion retailer Alannah Hill – along the lines of “I’ve been throwing myself at Mark McInnes for years, I wish I had been the one he ‘touched up’.
Now, she’s having a retail “sorry” sale to cover up for this lame gaffe.
