This week I'm playing unsolicited publicist and giving my full reputational u-turn strategy for Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and Chappell Roan. One is trying too hard to be cool and needs to stop…
This is an episode I'm really excited for because a couple weeks ago I was on a plane ride, and I feel like you get the best ideas of what to do on a plane ride, in the shower, driving a car, really anywhere where you can't access your laptop and, like, write down what you're going through.
Isn't that just how it works? But I had this incredible idea for how I think I could fix Justin Timberlake.
And take the word fixing, you know, lightly 'cause obviously I am a controlling person, and I do want to control all of these celebrities like I'm a puppet master.
But at any rate, I think that there's three people we can agree on that need a little bit of a reputational U-turn right now, and that's Justin Timberlake, Will Smith, and Chappell Roan.
I really only had the idea for Justin Timberlake, but then I asked you guys on Instagram, "Who else needs a reputational U-turn?" With these three specific celebrities, I don't think it's that they're canceled per se.
I think they're not irrelevant, but I think they could use a little boost in getting back to the limelight in a way that would be satisfactory to them.
We are going full unsolicited publicist and giving advice to these three celebrities.
And for what it's worth, every single piece of advice is blatantly different, especially what I have for Justin and Will.
So without further ado, let's get into it 'cause I just always find these types of episodes so fun.
