Having "sold her soul to the devil" as it were, her poor handling of the aftermath has actually shown her not to be a naturally devious person as so often portrayed on this thread. Perhaps an admission from her that this has been the case would be well received and understood. It would also be a very good warning to anybody, in any field, thinking of allying themselves with companies with large
PR budgets.
That does sound quite persuasive. She may also not have realised quite how important is the distinction between solo and non solo until the brown and steaming hit the fan here. If that is true, then her next, and IMHO bigger, mistake was not facing up to it at that time.
Unfortunately for her, the tactic of ignoring the problem and waiting for it all to go away hasn't worked and, as I posted earlier, I would suggest she should try another approach. I hope that perhaps Terry can persuade her to do that.
