Inappropriate or Ill Prepared?

by admin on November 13th, 2009 | Reputation Management

To borrow a cliché, when you fail to prepare, you prepare to fail. Or, as we remind our clients, media train, media train, media train.

Former Ms. California Carrie Prejean could have used some media training before her appearance on Larry King Live. Prejean was on the show to promote her new book, yet she seemed surprised by Larry King’s line of questioning about her lawsuit against the Miss Universe pageant. So surprised, in fact, that she called Larry King “inappropriate” and attempted to walk off the set.

While I’m not a Larry King fan, his questions in this instance were straightforward and should have been easily anticipated. Instead, CNN is playing the video clip repeatedly. Donald Trump has chimed in to demonstrate his shock and dismay.

If this was a planned publicity stunt (let’s hope not), Carrie Prejean is getting plenty of visibility. In reality, the situation did nothing but make Prejean and her publicist look silly and ill prepared.
