Renowned crisis PR expert Molly McPherson recently analyzed the public statements made by celebrities in response to recent controversies. According to McPherson, Jamie Foxx’s apology for alleged antisemitic comments was successful, while Lizzo’s statement following accusations of sexual harassment by former dancers fell short. McPherson emphasizes the importance of addressing accusations promptly and directly to avoid leaving room for speculation and assumptions. She suggests that a solid public statement should consist of owning up to the accusations, explaining the circumstances surrounding the incident, and promising not to repeat the mistake. McPherson praises Foxx for acknowledging his mistakes and taking accountability, while criticizing Lizzo for denying any involvement and using legal denial as a strategy. McPherson stresses the need for celebrities to prioritize accountability in their apologies to regain trust and restore their reputation. She acknowledges that regardless of the approach taken, celebrities cannot entirely avoid backlash in today’s climate where people are more comfortable expressing their opinions and calling out others for their actions.
