More Sussex PR antics

[Gottseidank]

Imagine using the victims of a school shooting for attention and PR. There seem to be no depths to which this pair will not sink

Sadly I think the problem H&M have is they are very "marmite" celebrities.

When they behave poorly their "team" make excuses for them and when they do something arguably good the vast majority of the public view this through the lens of a couple prepared to sell out their own families for $$$ which is far from being kind and look for which "angle" they playing for on this occasion (even if there wasn't one).

H&M are a pretty textbook case of how to self immolate your own public image.

One thing we won't know is just how many causes they have sought to support only to be told "no thanks" because whilst they might bring publicity, they also "taint" the event/charity by virtue of the chatter generated being about their hypocrisy rather than the charitable work.

They could have done so much good, yet they just went hell for leather in making multiple allegations (aka their truth) of which many have been disproven or they have backed away from.

They've played their biggest card re: the royal racist and that didn't do the damage I think they thought it would.

Personally I think they are in deep shit. They've sold the family silver and are starting to realise that they've burnt their bridges in maintaining a connection to the only thing they can monetise - Harry's family.

Regardless of the other details, "she wasn't invited" is an odd thing to say about a public vigil (or rather, the hours before a public vigil). Particularly when it seems like you're trying to compare it to this H&M event, which was in someone's house.

willing to believe it possible they care about the Ulvade families but really can't see why they need to take a camera crew, announce and publicise their antics?

From what the article says, what you describe didnt happen ? It says the family posted the photos - then the press have obviously ran with it.

The family seem really they were there, im not sure why it bothers you enough to post about it, apart from your dislike of them.

Just a reminder about Meghan using Uvalde for PR reasons.

@Mylovelygreendress - wow 😵
What sort of monster turns a bereaved town into a fucking PR haven't for themselves - these two are are an utter disgrace

@FloofCloud i would really like to see someone try to defend that photo .

Honestly! If they take their own photographers to that situation, there's nothing they wouldn't stop at IMO to get their faces linked with something to get something for themselves - it's mind blowing!

Do some of you not get sick of getting angry at non-stories?
Those involved in the support efforts after the tragic events have been very clear that MM did NOT bring any photographers and that the photographers were already there.

So why was she checking the positions of the cameras @ItsMeNotTheProblem

Were you there or is that pure speculation from the photos taken?
Be honest.

@ItsMeNotTheProblem - honestly, don't actually BELIEVE that? They wouldn't have a ticket on saying who brought them there, why wouldn't be getting out of their leer jet with Sussex Squad written in their tee shirts ... carry on believing the rhetoric fed to you ... ignore the photographic evidence 🙄

@ItsMeNotTheProblem . You seem to have missed the photo I posted earlier . Here it is !

Did you mean to mention me there?

Of course I believe the people who were actually there. Why would they lie?

No, I didn’t miss a thing.

You can’t tell who’s checking anything from that photo so again, were you there?

As they say ... if it looks like horses, sounds like horses, smell like horse shit ... don't think zebras ... '
we're 'you' there @ItsMeNotTheProblem

I am a bit confused by those claiming that because these photos popped up on the young chap's social media that it isn't a PR thing. Given how controlling the Sussexes are about their media appearances, he will have been given permission to share those images. And the person giving that permission will have done so in order that they can be passed off as NOT being officially released as a PR exercise by H&M, when in fact they absolutely are. If you get my meaning. That young man and his family have been exploited.

No, I was not there.

I’ve yet to see any stories of those who were there stating what you and some others have though, these rumours seem to only link to those watching from the internet.

I honestly can't see what Meghan and Harry have done wrong in this instance.

The Ulvade school shooting happened in 2022. Irma Garcia was one of the teachers who died, protecting pupils.

The Garcia family and M&H have been in contact for the last 2 years.
The Garcia family and M&H have kept this private. Nobody publicised or used this information for any gain.

M&H were in Texas, and with the family arranged for a private visit.
Nobody told or published this to the the public or press.

The only reason why the press have picked this up. Is because John, the nephew of Irma Garcia, took some photos and put them on his social media, I belive twitter.
M&H haven't published anything about this. Nobody went to the press to sell, use, exploit or publicise.
This was a private matter between two families.

That's it. There really isn't much more to it.

Yes, sadly I think so too.

@minou123 I am fairly certain that if H and M had requested the photos remain private , the family would have gone so .”

@ItsMeNotTheProblem think you're seeing unicorns .. not even zebra
Here!

No, I’m fairly sure it’s you doing that.

We have seen the exact terms of the release the Sussexes demand parties interacting with them sign, and the level of control they demand over what is said publicly - it was published via an FOI request following their visit to a school in Harlem. So there is absolutely no way this visit was “spontaneously” publicised by the family they visited.

Scobie sent early copies of his book to Sussex squad members. They use them as free PR, and they happily did their bidding, all for free.

Guess Harry needs to save his pennies after the Home Secretary said no to full 24/7 security

I don’t understand why anyone would want a sympathy visit from someone they don’t know famous or not.
Bizarre.
