I have no idea why someone who was supposed to sue David Jones for $37 million for sexual harassment would even consider hiring a publicist. Kristy Fraser-Kirk has been offered less than $1m to settle the issue.
Will she, won't she. Lose and she'll have a multi-million dollar fee to pay lawers. Win and she'll get no more than about $500k. Accept the milion, she'll be seen to have sold out for money and be seen to have been in it for the money.
She will be tarnished either way for the person who decided to sue DJ for $37 m and who would want to hire her. A Women's group, book club or other.
She did the right thing by saying NO. She did the wrong thing by demanding money as compensation, and a great deal more than has been paid anywhere in the world.
Why did she do it. Young, naive, given the wrong advice, watched too many American movies, who knows.
But her future is clear. She'll be the person who will end up the victim.
Will she be able to get a job after this or go on to the speaking circuit as a womens right activist, her life will change.
What should she have done then...
I think suing was the right idea...bringing public attention to sexual harrassment not being okay was the right idea...the fact she asked 37 million bad idea, even if it was for charity it brang her the wrong kind of media attention and completely took away from what the real issue shouldve been, the fact she brought all this up the day before the big dj season launch didnt help either...honestly why didnt she just sue for what anyone else wouldve sued for, most sexual harrassment cases dont happen in huge companies like dj, it wouldve gone in the public eye anyway cuz its still david jones, she wouldve won and proven a point to women everywhere that its not okay and then couldve become a spokeswoman if she wanted, or still even had a chance at another job
ReplyDeleteall this money and extra media attention just took away from what i think she was trying to do
definitely took the wrong advice
Maybe I should go public with my one legged grocery story turmoil?!?! :oP
ReplyDeleteKnow any good publicists?
