Celebrity PR Disasters
Season 2, Episode 7, May 18, 2023, 12:10 AM
Why does a celebrity need someone managing their public relations?
Can't they manage that themselves? Well, it would appear that's getting increasingly difficult in these days of trial by social media and a single tweet can ruin a carefully crafted reputation, potentially destroying a career.
What can a PR do to stop the damage seeping in further?
Can they keep a story out of the press?
And why would a journalist do PR's bidding if they happen to be sitting on a solid gold scoop about their client?
PR to the stars, Richard Dawes dropped into the studio, to tell us how he would deal with certain awkward situations and gives us an insight into what it's like to manage some of the biggest names in the music biz.
As always, our host Petrie is on hand to ask the burning questions, and regular panellists Andrew and Mick share some occasions when the PR machine didn't quite roll in their favour.
