Yeah, I'm sure hiring someone who worked with a wife beater rapist is a nice idea.

How dumb are you to advocate for victims of domestic violence and hire someone who represented an abuser. Good grief.

Soooo many people still think of Johnny Depp as The Victim. Regardless of whether or not this guys is decent or a piece of shit I don’t particularly trust anyone who fawns over this book the way Baldoni did to have the discernment to see Johnny Depp as a monster. Assuming he cares of course.

That sounds mean cause I know a lottttt of women love this book and I don’t think it’s the heinous thing everyone makes it out to be but I think it’s fair to say its clumsy in its messaging lbr.

Also I firmly believe anyone in Hollywood will throw their morals in the sewer the moment they can benefit from something they purport to be against. Be it this guy hiring The Devil’s PR team or Blake Lively giving speeches at a coalition to stop child pornogaphy and then turn around and work with Woody Allen and call him “empowering” in the same year

They’re all rotten in one way or another

[hardto_remember]

He’s probably going for the male victim angle and a lot of people still see Debt as a prime example of male victim. It’s disgusting but makes sense if this is all going to be about internet speculation.

before yall make a rash judgment based on who the PR firm has represented before…no company represents all “good” or “bad” clients. it’s a business decision not a moral one

[dreamdate]

It’s bad morally and bad for business.

[ponyboy]

uhhh not a good luck when you're trying to talk about DV!

[barbychanftw]

The problem is that he's been using this press tour to advocate for DV victims, so this is a contradiction.

Or maybe he thinks Depp is the victim, which would mean he's not as educated as he thinks.

what a massive fucking unforced error for him lmfao like the irony of hiring a PR person who is bad PR for you

[kary1591]

Lol yup.. how would anyone ever think this is a good move/look?

[nigelwitthebrie]

It might work for him though…he’s trying to clear his name to still work within the film industry.

He hired “the best of the best” within the biz. And Johnny Depp (a known abuser) won that case against Amber Heard, whether we like it or not.

oh i get it from an industry pov but boy does it make him look spineless
