The PR Breakdown with Molly McPherson TikTok's Pajama Drama and Entitlement: A PR and Psychology Breakdown
Molly breaks down the TikTok drama everyone is consumed with at the moment - two creators and their pajamas. Cecily and Samantha Bachman, whose launch of $98 holiday pajamas sparked intense public criticism and led to a problematic apology that only fueled further backlash.
Joining Molly is renowned relationship expert Dr. Abby Medcalf, who illuminates the fascinating connection between entitled behavior and ineffective communication. Together, they explore why people—from social media influencers to everyday individuals—often resort to defensive responses and excessive justifications when faced with criticism, and what this reveals about our modern social dynamics.
If you work in strategy or communication, join Molly on December 17 at 12 PM ET for a 60-minute live media training that breaks down a crisis in real time. RFK Jr is being hit from two sides at once. Now Olivia Nuzzi’s memoir is out, weeks after Tatiana Schlossberg’s essay landed a punch. We'll walk through the headlines, the data, the sentiment, press coverage, then map out what a competent response would actually look like. Click here to attend.
