5 Effective Ways Of Handling A Sex Scandal Or Leaked Nude Photos
So your nudes have made their way to the internet. Everyone in the world has seen you in your most vulnerable position and the worst part is that your parents have seen it too. Your cellulite or small genitalia have never been so prominent. Or your comments in Tujuane have made you the laughing stock of the country and also a target for cyber bullies .
What do you do? Do you deny, deny, deny? Do you scream photo shop and hacked phone or do you just sit quietly and pretend they do not exist?This is what you do:
Be proactive and get in front of the scandal: Don’t just sit there and wait for it to swell like a balloon with water then explode in your face. Nip it in the bud. According to Atlanta-based PR consultant Jonell Whitt ,if Tiger Woods had come out in the beginning to apologize instead of just sitting pretty before his women exploded to double digits, the public would have been more forgiving .He finally came out to conduct a press conference but it was too late,him prestine image was already too tainted.
Accept, apologize and move on and maybe make fun of the whole issue. Take a page from Dylan Sprouse’s book.You probably know Dylan from Disney Channel’s Suite Life of Zak & Cody whose unflattering naked photos made it to the internet thanks to a bitter ex-girlfriend. This is what he said “I messed up… but I’d be a fool not to own up to it. Got to move past it I suppose.” Sprouse also added, “whoops, guess I’m not 14 and fat anymore.”
He went on to add “n00d pic dealer” to his bio too.
Well played.
Don’t lie and insult the public’s intelligence. That Photoshop shit is just plain annoying. No one is buying that.
But if you are cowardly, deny, deny, deny but denying is like trying to extinguish wild fire with petrol. It will just make things worse
You can also use the scandal to your advantage. Take for example Susan Mirfat ,Kaz and Huddah Monroe who have gained success after their sordid scandals. People paid attention to Kaz’s music after her scandal and Mirfat has scored a few karaoke gigs after her Tujuane Fiasco
They say prevention is better than cure and since we know that anything that goes on the internet never goes away. So what do you do?
Whitt advises that “You have to make sure the media is on your side. Because if you have the media on your side, they will always put a spin on it for you,“ she says. “But if you disrespect the media? It’s over. They will tear you apart.
Avoid the temptation of having the “perfect image” in order to amass endorsements,public approval of money .When you appear perfect your scandals will be a big deal since you put yourself on a pedestal. Just like with boss of MOG whose scandal exploded because he had created a faultless gospel image.
And lastly avoid taking nude photos and sending them out.If you take a nude photo delete it,such things have a way of surfacing,life is a bitch like that!
