Everyday PR

When I worked for a prison management company, someone reported that a female correctional officer had become romantically involved with an inmate via taped conversations.  With the most deadpan expression on his face, the CEO calmly said “that’s going to hurt her career.”  Heads up, Mel, your lips are fast sinking your ship. Regardless of the authenticity or inadmissibility of the tapes, Mel has done to himself what he allegedly said he’d do to ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva.  Being dropped by your agency doesn’t help his career either.  Mel, get help.  Until then, your performance in the court of public opinion doesn’t even deserve a virtual Cup of Joe.

The virtual Cup of Joe Award from EveryDayPR spotlights our pick of the week for a public relations performance –  good, bad or ugly.  If you’d like to make a nomination, contact shart@hartpr.com or www.Twitter.com/susanhartpr.
