“What am I supposed to do? When I logged in last night, I had
three thousand notifications calling me a bitch and telling me to go off
myself!”
I closed my eyes briefly as the anxious young starlet continued to vent
on my computer screen. She had gone on a late-night show and, unscripted,
regaled her unimpressed audience with a story of how she had turned down
her first boyfriend’s marriage proposal because he had given her a diamond
ring instead of one with alexandrite. This morning, an article had gone live
titled, LET THEM EAT CARTIER.
The actress was crying now, and despite her oblivious diva status, I felt
a surge of sympathy. She wasn’t much older than a child, and nobody liked
being bullied—not even rich, preternaturally pretty young women who
were given almost every opportunity to succeed.
“Sweetie,” I said. “Don’t cry. It’s really not that bad. They don’t even
know you. Why do you care?”
I wasn’t usually this familiar with clients, but I felt terrible for this
young girl who was likely feeling trapped and panicked. I knew well what
that was like, and nobody had sweetied me—no matter how much I wished
they would.
“I don’t know,” she said, her voice wet with tears.
The door creaked open. A large shadow obliterated part of the light
coming in.
Henry.
Irritation flickered through me, which I quickly suppressed.
After getting married, I condensed my once bustling PR firm to the
select clients who backed my husband’s business. Henry insisted that this
carefully curated list would demonstrate our united front and that managing
fewer clients would ultimately benefit our family goals.
No one had ever accused me of not being a team player, and I’d do
anything for our family. Winding my company down in favor of working
from home allowed me to focus on growing our family—except it had been
three years, and there were no children to grow. Instead of letting it dampen
my spirits, I had flung myself into work and didn’t like when Henry
casually interrupted my calls. These high-profile clients paid more than my
previous clientele and expected my undivided attention.
“Okay,” I said soothingly, glancing in my husband’s direction. This
time, I worked to keep my voice professional, conscious of my audience.
“Calm down. Here’s what we’re going to do. You’ll post an announcement
on your social media that you’re stepping back for a while because you
realize you still have much to learn about tone and privilege. Don’t respond
to any of the comments. Find a charity—preferably one with good optics—
and donate to them. Then we’ll organize a press junket for your upcoming
film to wash all this out.”
“Really?” she asked, with the full-throated skepticism only a cynical
twenty-year-old could convey.
“Really. Just don’t say anything else. When it comes to news, people
have the attention span of a dust mite. As long as you don’t fan the flames,
they’ll shift targets within a week.” Or less.
