Wendy Feldman Is Wrong!

I read an article earlier today that really upset me. Why? Well, a well-known crisis management publicist attacked her former client on Twitter. There is a line of respect that should navigate your professional as a publicist- even when you are upset with a client or former client. I always tell up and coming PR professionals to handle unruly clients in court. It is the easiest way to stop them in their tracks- I mean by hitting them in their pocket book.
But I'm not so sure the crisis management publicists, Wendy Feldman, meant to hurt her client when she went on the attack. After all, she is a publicist and in launching the attack, her Twitter followers grew and so did her company's brand. So, was this a strategic move at the former client's expense? I think so!


Among other celebrities, Wendy Feldman formally represented Teresa Giudice of the Real Housewives of New Jersey.  She fired Giudice and then she took to Twitter and spoke with several media resources on the firing.  She conveniently told Page Six, "“This relationship was filled with more problems than usual clients have because of the constant refusal of Teresa to accept responsibility for the smallest thing. This may be due to poor prior advice and so a coping mechanism or just plain denial. In any event, federal prison is no joke and must be navigated with extreme care. In the end that wasn’t done and so the relationship had to take a new direction.”


Clients and publicists will have disagreements. They may even have to terminate the relationship. But, dirty laundry should never be aired. Period.


Until tomorrow,

  1. This lady is a con and should be sued or misrepresenting herself, She claims to be an a criminal justice expert (actually she changes her title all the time),even though she has no background in law – her experience with the legal system comes from being charged for securities fraud and serving time in a federal prison.. somebody should do a little more homework on this media whore, She is disgusting!! When is it ever ok to trash former clients she is a CON..She was never helping Giudice i honestly believe she used her for attention..Wendy linked herself with a blog site All about the Tea who thrashes Teresa Giudice and has given nothing but false stories Wendy being the "SOURCE" ...I have yet to hear anybody as far as former clients speak of Wendy and her wonderful work, only person who praises her is herself ...Another funny thing Wendy blamed all her own legal troubles on her ex husband she never really took responsibility, I really wish someone would call this lady out on her BS ..I'm just so disgusted by what this woman has done!! Here is a good read.. http://www.realitytvscandals.com/2014/12/23/the-wendy-feldman-sequel-part1/
