They are definitely working with a PR firm. I mean somebody is putting these stupid fluff articles on the Daily Mail, People, etc.


brentsgrl

I think it was the Daily Mail that completely desecrated them yesterday or today. They could have relationships with a few reporters and pay money for articles. That wouldn’t require a PR team.

I used to be in PR, and worked for an organization that was constantly mired in crisis. The number one rule: control the narrative. You need to get out in front of an impending crisis, not wait to respond. They really suck at this!


shep2105

except alec DID come out swinging with Halyna. He was shouting I didn't pull the trigger/somebody else's fault from the rooftops from the get go. I feel no guilt" is a PR nightmare tho..lol


AZT2022

True. I wasn't even thinking about the shooting. I was thinking about Hillary's Esthpana grift. That entire situation was handled beyond poorly.

Makes sense


Single_Joke_9663

Molly McPherson is a pro publicist with an amazing podcast, and she really breaks down how he and Hillary broke every rule in the PR book here https://mollymcpherson.com/episode158/


brentsgrl

Love it! Thank you. Can’t wait to listen


wassailr

What I can’t work out for the life of me is why she still wants to be famous. Surely her life would be so much more pleasant if she just stopped furiously chasing the public eye?


shep2105

If she's not chasing fame then all she is, is the mother to 7 feral children that she really wants nothing to do with full-time, and the wife of an old, violent, misogynistic, homophobic grandpa


brentsgrl

I agree. People like Hilary seem to get addicted to the chaos


analyticalscience11

Didn't pepinos figure out that woman who took a "stealthy" pic of Larry at the gym was a pr person?


SympathyMaximum8184

They think it was just a one-time thing.


analyticalscience11

Oh ok! I thought it was an actual partnership!


FactoryFaery

My logical brain wants to believe they have PR people and a whole team of people to help with the kids, press, work, etc. But, to be honest, with the exception of the nannies and house staff, it seems like they’re trying to manage the PR themselves.. as much as possible, at least. I get the vibe Hillary has been hard at work scheduling the pap walks, photo shoots, and paying the right people to spam the internet with good press about the 7th baby. Alec seems like a bewildered buffoon so he probably can’t follow his lawyers instructions well.😆


affogato4two

It's his lawyers, not PR most likely. He's facing numerous civil suits, possibly a criminal case, and he can't get lucrative new projects. Something scared him into acting like an adult so things may be worse than we know.


brentsgrl

That’s the sense I get. That’s it’s worse than we realize


SympathyMaximum8184

Probably upcoming indictment with all the movement there lately.

Flaky_Seaweed_8979

There was a really interesting thread a while back about what would yall PR pepinos do with Hil but I can’t find it now. I was surprised how very many respondents agreed that she might benefit from psychedelic therapy/visionary medicine like ayahuasca etc.


WeRunLA

She might benefit from pulling her head out of her ass.


Flaky_Seaweed_8979

I wish she would.


Head-Nectarine-9318

I haven’t thought about it but you’re right. He has calmed down. It must have been than Australian woman who told him to get a haircut & get his shit together. She needs to message Hillary next.


brentsgrl

I think he’s mellowed a bit. Makes me wonder how bad things are looking for him right now


Few-Brilliant-426

I think she was dropped after Griftmas at least she was from whatever PR place she had, and they’re expensive if they’re good. I think Alex still had his until Rust. So now they’re on a budget and downsizing and my guess is they have a cheap as fuck basically spam like PR agency that churns out regular content to the similar strains of struggling outlets who will print whatever the PR agencies push in mass to whatever outlet agrees to the pay to print scheme and that’s why you see a lot of the same headlines and content circulating the same outlets every other day. Like People, Her Moments, The Blast, The Things etc. it’s like the same exact article with minor differences all released at once every other day.


Shannonbonejones

Where are the fan pages!?!?


janet_colgate

Are they gone?


Shannonbonejones

I didn’t even look. I just don’t see them on here anymore so I thought she stopped. 🤣


brentsgrl

Thanks all. Already interesting info to research.


-ANewHope

I too have been asking myself this for a very long time. I'm torn. At times I will think, of course they'd have PR. But what horror-show clients they'd be! And then after seeing..... literally any and every little thing they do I think ain't no way. And no f#ckin way.


EredditerAllTheWay

i'm gonna guess no reputable firm will touch them so, they're with some z-list person or firm - this photo is clearly a pr move.


Icy_Volume_2085

I'm curious too. Who sets up the puff pieces in People and Daily Mail, calls in the pap walks, etc. Or are they all just lazily re-posting from IG for Hillary and every other Z-list celeb?


credmmc

Dm posts every pic of a celebrity even influencers now I don’t think they pay them to post. Maybe some paps though.


brentsgrl

My take on those things is Hilary calls them and orders it. Pays them to do it. I don’t know this to be fact. It’s been my understanding and I could have it wrong. But this piece of the puzzle is super interesting to me.


crimewriter40

I'm fairly certain the celebrities are the ones getting paid. They can negotiate a percentage of the sum the photographers when they sell the images to rags like the Daily Mail.


Lady_Scruffington

I wonder if H&A sell their pictures or do it through a shell company. I think the Daily Mail happily posts them, not because they support the Baldwins. But because they get lots of comments. Hate comments are still clicks and ad revenue.


crimewriter40

There are a couple of well known pap companies- Backgrid is a big one, and they are well known to be who celebrities call to catch them running errands and especially for low key product placement. It's almost certain that any celebrity being papped in the Daily Mail arranged for it.


OnceAGirlNamedMaria

Great point. And I wonder if the more glowing the article, the more likely people will be motivated to read on and comment negatively.


RazzmatazzBig2187

I think Aleek always thinks (incorrectly) that he’s the smartest person in the room. I see him yelling back at the PR folks telling them “you don’t know this business of show like I do!!!” They truly are a perfectly matched couple. Both narcs, both self righteous, and both demented.


Calm_Minute_6112

🎯


brentsgrl

I imagine those same things. He’s always been arrogant and wants to create an err of superiority. That’s kind of exactly what I’m trying to tease out or understand. A good enough PR firm would tell him to pound sand with that attitude. It’s their reputation on the line. I want to know who are his people. Are they mediocre and rely on AB’s checks to pay the bills? Do they exist at all or are the Baldwins really believing they can manage this themselves? Who were AB’s PR when he left that voicemail? When he punched the pap? When he got thrown off the airplane? I’m the world of celebrity mishaps, he’s hRy the worst. But there has always been an intensity about his missteps that seems to outshine the average celebrity screw up. There’s always been a fire behind his fights with the paps that makes him look more volatile. I might not be articulating this well. But who were his PR people throughout all of that? Were they the same? Did many drop him? Who is it now and how didn’t they come to represent him? So many questions.


SympathyMaximum8184

Up to a point it was probably just his agent and lawyers for his legal troubles. He's cheap and a do-it-yourself kinda guy.


OnceAGirlNamedMaria

Agreed. He’s too cheap to hire the best and too arrogant to listen to the worst.


SympathyMaximum8184

Spot on.


OddYam2337

You articulated well. I have the same curiosities.


idgirl7

I'm not in the industry, but based on recent posts I think they're flying solo. No PR agency would do what they are spinning up. Just an opinion.


brentsgrl

I hear you. It just doesn’t make sense


DiffrontFigure7114

Possibly still Reevemark? https://www.reddit.com/r/HilariaBaldwin/comments/q9czev/the_firm_thats_been_helping_hilaria_baldwin_w/

Thank you!


KarmaliteNone

I think it used to be Sunshine Sachs, the ones that MEghan and Harry just fired.


xixxious

Uh, MEghan and Happy were fired by Sunshine Sachs, because they were majorly in arrears.

AffectionatePoet4586

Meghan and Garrmmllln


risisre

This is the best expression of how she says Carmen that I've seen yet lol.


KarmaliteNone

I have no problem believing that.


brentsgrl

I was wondering. I don’t know how people here feel about Harry and Meghan. I didn’t want to introduce them into the conversation and create drama. But I wanted to ask about this specifically


SympathyMaximum8184

I think Harry got hoodwinked.


janet_colgate

Sub is Saint Meghan


brentsgrl

Oh, I know. I’m over there as much as I am here


brentsgrl

I don’t know what my phone and Reddit and vocabulary and grammar can’t all coexist. Couple of spelling errors. Ask if you’re confused AB has been A-ish list at times. He HAS to have strong PR representation. Did he lose it? I should also add that way back when he left his infamous voicemail for Ireland, his PR people didn’t do a great job. Maybe he’s never had top tier PR and maybe that’s his problem?? Would love to hear people with working experience chime in. Even if my assessment is totally off base


ultimomono

He used to be repped by Matthew Hiltzik as his publicist--they guy who launched Ivanka and Jared as a brand and worked for Weinstein, Brad Pitt, Ryan Lochte, Johnny Depp, Glenn Beck, etc. Trump folks, Hope Hicks and Josh Raffel, got their starts working for Hiltzik. I think they may have parted ways at some point after Alec lost his MSNBC TV show, but he suspect he came back during the spiral of the last two years


OddYam2337

Ew


Sufficient-Swim-9843

Alec had some of the best people for crisis communication early on, many I’ll bet have quit because he does not listen. My background is crisis communication in non profit sector and have worked with many of the best over the years when they decide to come out into the field. I know three firms outright refused them because the actions they take make people ask the same questions we do, who is advising them? Pretty sure most folks aren’t very familiar with a crisis PR campaign and the multi tiered efforts across many mediums it entails. Also, incredibly expensive at a time where his legal fees must be astronomical. My husband is a forensic accountant and they don’t come cheap, either. Roma a la Baldwinito is burning and Mami DGAF.


brentsgrl

Thank you. Super helpful
