If I was a millionaire I wouldn't care about bad publicity TBH. I'm not very likely to have an affair etc. My only crime would be to give my kids Greggs sausage rolls and fruit shoots, oh and I'd throw in a trip to McDonalds for good measure. WinkGrin

It depends if I was a bastard or had just been made to look like one. Actually, it wouldn't matter, I wouldn't care either way... Confused

thisisyesterday · 22/05/2011 13:09

it would depend what the bad publicity was

how would bad publicity MAKE you a millionaire anyway?

TrillianAstra · 22/05/2011 13:09

1 million not enough.

TFW....a good and amusing comment. If its footie players.why cant they be honest say say to prospective partners...I can give you a life of luxury...But I am not ready to be sexually faithful..DEAL OR NO DEAL? that would be more honest than 50 grand injunctions

If I was a millionaire I wouldnt give a toss if the press followed me round all day. They'd get bored pretty quickly. "Gwendoline in 2-takeaways-a-week shocker!" fascinating stuff:o

It wouldn't bother me-they would find very little of interest and move on.

this is yesterday...millionaire bad publicity..well, on the. basis of no publicity is bad publicity. Take Lady Ga Ga A lot of bad publicity. very rich. Ditto Madge...Katie Price.....And a lotof others. I meaN you have to deaL with the press as it is....Some people escape bad publicity...Terry Wogan (Partly because he always had a national prog to answer back on) Cheryl Cole thus far..probably wont last....Gabby Logan usually gets good publicity. Reminds me big footie at 4pm

hmm but those people aren't millionaires because of bad publicty.. they're millionaires because they are famous or because they do something that earns them lots of money

and "bad" publicity depends on how you look at it surely? I think Katie Price has good publicity as well, and I think the celebrities themselves have a lot of control over how they come across.... they know how to play the media and what gets them publicity and what kind

some choose to take any publicity they can (ie Katie Price), while others are much more careful

Serenitysutton · 22/05/2011 13:45

Absolutely not, I have to much pride for money to make up for public humiliation. I would be devestated if my private life were in the press. It doesn't matter whether you don't do anything newsworthy - most of it's made up or twisted anyway

ScousyFogarty · 22/05/2011 14:08

TIY come, it depends whether you get caught or not with the press as they are. A bad reputation can make you big. Sexpistols, a nd many others we all know about. Jamie O was it a lamb sacrfice onTV (TV)Not sure. Archer still sells books. And a bloke who had serious crim record did lectures. The geezer from the gang culture. Fame is a funny old game. The rich want it all their own way. Often they get their wish. But injunctions dont make sense. A SIGN OF A VERY GREEDY SOCIETY...brm brm
